  • CNC Manual mill / VMC upgrade conversion (HM48 / MH28V) (4-5 wk lead time)

    PriceFrom $2,500.00
    GST Included

     

    ***Lead time for delivery: 5+ weeks for all components to arrive***

     

    ***Please send us a message before placing your order with your exact bed measurements so we can provide the correct length of ballscrews THIS IS ABSOLUTELY CRITICAL TO DO prior to purchase due to variations in manufacturing we have aknowledged.***

     

    Designed and made right here in Australia, our engineering team have produced some CNC upgrade kits for popular manual milling centers and VMC machines.

     

    Owning a mill can allow you to do some incredible things in some tough materials like alloys and steels but sometimes part complexity can make the process of manufacturing a challenge. This upgrade allows you to make extremely precise and complex parts with your existing rigid manual mill taking your production capabilities to the next level.

     

    The kit includes

    • Plate assemblies for the CNC upgrade made from aluminium
    • SFU2005 Ballscrews and associated parts required for the assembly.
    • Nema34 Closed loop stepper motors + drives + 60/70VDC Power supplies (Size option above)

     

    Options available with this kit

     

    Mill Model

    Choose the model of mill you would like an upgrade for. We will be expanding this list over time as we procure more machines to R&D. If you have a different model of mill and would love a CNC upgrade for it, send us a message to determine the process for us to be able to create an upgrade.

     

    Current supported models

    HM48, MH28V

     

    Motor orientation

    Choose whether or not the X axis motor is on the right hand side or left hand side of the machine. This option has been included for those who may have their mill mounted in a particular location that may prohibit the installation of the upgrade on one side. 

     

    Extra things you will or may require

    This is mostly a mechanical kit that comes with well matched motors and drives. You will require a CNC controller of some kind, some great options include our Australian Made Nighthawk controller (In standalone card format) or an AXBB-E controller. Reach out to our team regarding your requirements and we can definitely make some suggestions.

     

    The kit does not include any limit switches, These can be added at a later stage by yourself if required. See photos at the top of listing for recommended limit switch placement. If you are unsure about placement, see the note below regarding getting in touch an engineering agency to add the limit switch mounts for you when the bed is machined.

     

    You may require an additional power supply to power your controller, The Nighthawk standalone card accepts up to 60VDC input MAX. An AXBB-E supports up to a 24V input.

    Please Note

    The bed of your mill requires modification to make everything work as expected. You can either choose to do this yourself or reach out to an engineering company to make the relevant changes.

     

    If you are unsure on who to reach out to, we recommend getting in contact with Dan from TomahawkCNC to machine your bed for you. You can reach Dan by calling +614 1277 0696.

     

    ***Dan and TomahawkCNC are an intuitive Australian business known for manufacturing some incredibly reliable and robust products but they are NOT directly employed by CNC3D.

     

    The power supplies provided require wiring by a licensed electrician or qualified person. Do not DIY mains wiring!

     

    ***Important Notice***

    This kit is only available for commercial / industrial use and is not recommended or permitted for domestic use. This is due to the high voltage output of the power supplies. Choosing to purchase this kit you agree that it is to be used in an industrial or commercial workshop or premises ONLY and that you take full responsibility for any installation, use or misuse of this upgrade kit.

     

    Due to the complexity of the kit options and to reduce costs, part of your order will be shipped directly from our factory on the Gold Coast, QLD. The rest of your order will arrive from our partner factory offshore via FedEx/TNT. This allows us to provide this kit at the best possible price.
