MACHINE STAND

The structurally integrated machine base frame consists of 100 x 100 mm aluminum profiles in combination with 6 mm thick steel juction plates and provides a stable base for the CNC system. The base frame is supplied as standard.

ROBUST GUIDANCE

Linear ball rail guides with high load capacity and specific aluminum support profiles with torsion-resistant geometry ensure a stable machine chassis.

POWERFUL DRIVE

Optimally controlled NEMA 34 closed-loop stepper motors and smooth-running drive units enable effective operation.

HIGH PRECISION

With the actively readjusting closed loop system and the precisely manufactured ball bearing guides, workpieces of the highest quality are produced.

INTEGRATED CABLE ROUTING

The cables are routed using integrated drag chains. Quality cables with a suitability for up to 10 million bending cycles ensure reliability and durability.

TOOL MOUNT

The Z-axis is equipped with integrated mounting grooves for insert tools and accessories.

INTEGRATED SWITCH CABINET SHELF

The control electronics including motor driver and power supply units are encapsulated and integrated under the machine table. The switch cabinet shelf can be pulled out for maintenance and inspection work.

COMPLETE ENCAPSULATION

All linear guides and ball screws are protected against contamination with strip brushes or silicone seals.

EASY MAINTENANCE

Removable axis covers and easy access to the lubrication fittings of the ball runner blocks enable easy maintenance.

LED ILLUMINATION

The machine table is optimally illuminated with the LED lighting integrated in the X-axis.

POWERFUL CNC MACHINING

The STEPCRAFT Q-Series meets your needs as a gantry milling machine or as a universal milling machine. This makes the CNC machine suitable for a wide range of industries: from woodworking in carpentry to metalworking and advertising technology.

The STEPCRAFT Q.408 can effortlessly process panel materials up to a length of 2.60 meters and a width of up to 1.30 meters. NEMA 34 Closed-Loop stepper motors ensure powerful and fast drive on all axes. The CNC gantry is accelerated using two electrically synchronized stepper motors (gantry system) to ensure maximum travel safety and speed.

CNC: PRECISION AND RELIABILITY

The Q-Series ensures optimal precision and reliability in the manufacturing and processing of high-quality workpieces. To achieve this, the machine frame has been uniformly reinforced, and steel components have been used in structurally high-stress areas. In addition, HIWIN® ball screws are used on all axes to achieve optimal efficiency. This results in a repeatability of +/- 0.012 mm and a backlash of < 0.03 mm.

SOLID FRAME

  • 10 crossbeams, 12 junction plates, and 6 integrated machine legs, along with the two massive Y-axis crossbeams, form a torsion-resistant machine base.
  • Creating an optimal support surface for the machine table, which, when fully bolted, contributes to additional reinforcement of the frame.

STRONG COMPONENTS

  • Custom aluminum support axles with optimized torsional and bending stiffness, as well as improved self-damping.
  • 20 mm wide high-precision ball rail guides on all axes.
  • Portal side panels made of 20 mm thick aluminum sheet.
  • Steel connectors at structurally heavily loaded points.

ROBUST DRIVE

  • NEMA 34 Closed-Loop stepper motors on all axes
  • HIWIN® ball screw drive with 20 mm diameter on all axes
  • Double implementation of stepper motor and ball screw drive on the Y-axis (Gantry System) for maximum agility, reliability, and precision.
