CNC BASIX – Ball Screw CNC Machines with MASSO Controllers.

The CNC BASIX – Ball Screw CNC Machine with MASSO Controller is the ideal solution for high-workload cutting of aluminium, perspex, wood, and other materials. This machine offers excellent reliability and accuracy, even during extended operational hours. Equipped with the powerful MASSO Controller, it provides a seamless experience for users, enabling cutting tasks without the need for a computer connection.

The machine features an all-aluminium frame and 3mm steel front and back panels for added durability. The X and Y axes are driven by HGR15 linear rails and SFU16 ball screws, ensuring precision, while the Z axis is controlled by a T8 8mm lead screw and HGR15 linear rails.

With a cutting depth of 50mm (depending on the type of cutting bit), this machine offers excellent versatility for various materials. The Makita RT0700C 700W router provides manual speed control ranging from 12,000 RPM to 30,000 RPM, and users can achieve maximum feed rates of 6,000 mm/min and a maximum jog rate of 6,000 mm/min for fast, precise movement.

Customization options include upgrades such as servo motors, spindle kits (1.5kW to 2.2kW), and laser attachments, making it adaptable to a wide range of needs.
