Hi my name is Nolan I'm an engineer here at Tormach who's been working on...
...the PCNC 440 product and I am here to introduce it to you. It is the...
...smallest of our PCNC mill series. We have the 1100 the 770, scaled down in...
...size with the same technology, is the PCNC 440. The advantage is that it fits in...
...that smaller space and is less expensive than our other mills. We have ten inches of....
travel in X, we have six and a quarter inches of travel in Y, and we have ten...
...inches of travel in Z, with spindle nose maximum clearance to the bed of...
the mill to be twelve inches. On both X&Y we have a hundred and thirty five inches...
...per minute for our rapid speeds and on Z we have a hundred and ten inches per...
...minute. So this is a 10,000 rpm spindle. It's got two pulleys for varying the...
speed and increasing your torque at lower speeds if you're working with
steel and we have a 600 watt roughly three quarter horse power brushless DC...
...spindle motor in in here so it's balanced spindle to 10,000 rpm. This...
...allows you to use good removal rates in both materials like plastic, aluminums,
wood, things like that. Where the higher spindle speed really help with...
...your machining times. Now if you want to go into steel or something where you..
...would have a lower spindle speed we recommend...
...going into a lower speed belt. You get the torque and you get low speed...
performance, where a lot of other motors would fall off in in performance so it's...
very capable. It's the same spindle design only a little bit shorter than...
...our 770 which is tested time very well, and we think this one is a good fit for...
...this size machine We kept the spindle again because it's like the 770 spindle...
...to be using our Tormach Tooling System. TTS tools we have a wide range of...
those already. So the PCNC 440 mill is controlled by PathPilot just...
...like our other CNC mills and for upcoming accessories,
we have a port here where our 4th axis will able to be plugged in will have...
... fourth axis accessory will have a power drawbar accessory and we will have an...
eight tool ATC, which stands for automatic tool changer, accessory to go...
along with it . Now...
...a lot of other mills. You'll see a larger work envelope...
...gantry style CNC machines, they lack a lot of rigidity to be taking large passes.
as depth of cut in in metals and other materials and we just felt that there...
...was too much of a performance degradation. What we do differently is we...
...have hand scraped dovetail ways and we have over 350 pounds of cast iron on...
...this mill that help with reducing vibrations and creating stiffness so we...
...can really take out a good amount of material with each pass of the cutting...
...tool so what happens is you wanna...
...make a nice finish pass it leaves a good finish you want to take more than twenty...
...or thirty thousand depth of cut and aluminum or steel, you can do that...
...with this machine and it really does open up the abilities of what you can...
...work with if you want to have a nice finish on a deep cut, a deep pocket,
something like that you need the rigidity to do that and this machine has it.
