I like the new forum that we added looks like its already getting some action. I don't know much about "CNC Routing" per say but i do know a lot about the machine I'm about to show you. It is a Mazak VBC-20B CNC Milling center. The "VTC" part stands for Vertical Traveling Column, which means that the column(the blue part) moves instead of the table.
This is the machine that Oak Park Enterprises uses to make most of there products including there base plates, circle jigs, router tables, ect. I know this machine very well as I personally have spent many hours running it. Below are some pictures of it. Hope you like them.
Just a wide shot of the machine.
It looks like at the time there is the jig for the ez-link on the table. It uses suction to hold the phenolic blank on to the aluminum plate while its being milled.
This is a picture of the tool changer. It can hold up to 24 tools. When in full automation mode it follows a program and goes to change the cutter as many times as needed.
This is a picture of the control, on the screen it displays all kinds of data like what tool is in the chuck, what the next few lines of code it will execute while in automation mode, the exact positioning of the tool in all 3 axes(down to 1/1000 of a inch). It also will simulate a program on the screen so you can do a quick once over for errors.
Thats all the pictures i got for now, if you have any questions/comments feel free to ask
I also have used this machine for a few wood working projects but i don't have any pictures of them on the computer right now. Once I get some I'll share them with everyone.
Thanks!
