Hi my name is Davie, and I'm in technical pre-sales at Tormach. And I'm here to answer
your basic questions about the 1100 series Mills. Let's get down to the basics here. The 1100m and
MX are roughly similar machines, we'll get into the differences in a little bit, but let's start
with the similarities. It's a 220 volt single phase machine with a X,Y working envelope of 18" x
11" x 16" and a quarter inch Z height. The machine itself is roughly five foot deep, six foot wide
and will fit underneath an eight-foot ceiling. While the working envelope on these machines is
11" by 18" by 16" and a quarter, we purposely over build the table, making it 34 inches long and the
enclosure making it 36 inches deep and 69 inches wide, so you have plenty of room to operate in
the machine. And this table can handle 500 pounds of weight. When thinking about the placement of
your machine, you'll want to leave a little bit of room behind so you can open up the electrical
cabinet in case you want to add an accessory here or need to get in here for any reason.
You'll also want access for periodic maintenance, checking your FRL ball screw adjustments,
things of that nature. You'll want to keep some space available on the right side of the machine
so you can access the accessory ports and the main power disconnect switch. Another consideration for
planning your space is the fact that this is a 220 volt single phase machine it'll accept 208 to
240 volts ac with some power difference in there. We offer a buck boost transformer if you need it.
The power cord is six foot long comes out of roughly the center of the back of the machine
and has a Nema 620 plug on the end of it. Another thing you're going to want to pay attention to
is the 90 to 120 psi air requirement for these machines. You'll need shop air for the power draw
bar automatic tool changer and Mist coolant if you get that. In regards to machine placement the
machine is very versatile for what it's looking for as far as a wide temperature range of 40 to
100 degrees Fahrenheit and 5 to 95 humidity. The things you want to pay attention to is in the low
temperature ranges your way oil is going to turn to sludge and your flood coolant might freeze. And
then if you're in a high humid environment you're going to really want to focus on Rust prevention
coating all the surfaces and such when you're not running the machine. Both the 1100M and 1100 MX
offer a 12 pocket tool changer to help you prepare for unattended machining, to free you up to do
whatever else around the shop needs to be done. The enclosure on these machines offers two 50
watt LED flood lights for optimal lighting inside the enclosure. Plus the side doors open up to work
long parts or to access the machine for cleaning purposes. The bottom of the chip tray and and the
top of the stand offer a funnel to collect chips down into the chip basket in the coolant drawer.
One of the other things you're going to want to pay attention to is the way oil for the machine.
We offer an automatic oiler to handle that for you so it runs on a periodic basis to oil the
dovetails in ways of both the X Y and the Z column. Other options being the manual oiler
that comes default with the machine. These machines have an optional safety feature
which is a door lock switch kit, which keeps unwanted fingers out of your working envelope.
All right, the default control option on your Tormach mill is a monitor keyboard and mouse
and Jog shuttle on a swing out keyboard tray. With that you have the option of a standard
screen or a touch screen. For not that much more the operator console offers upgraded controls
for your Tormach mill, including a handheld jog pendant, touch screen knobs, for feeds and speeds,
overrides, cycle start, and feed hold push buttons, and a status light, so you know you
what your machine's doing from across the room. Now that we've covered the similarities between
the 1100M and MX let's go over the differences, which ultimately boils down to spindle taper and
drive motors. The 1100M is a stepper driven machine that has rapid speeds of 110 inches
a minute in the XY and 90 inches a minute in the Z, that utilizes the Tormach tool system.
The TTS system is a dual contact tool holder that offers low-cost solutions to get started
in the CNC Machining industry. And the 1100 MX is a Servo driven machine with a BT-30 spindle
the 1100M offers a Max spindle speed of 7,500 RPMs while the MX offers a Max spindle speed of 10,000
RPMs. The 1100 MX being Servo driven offers much faster rapid speeds at 300 inches a minute in the
XY, and 230 inches a minute in the Z. To decrease cycle time and increase productivity the BT-30 is
an industry standard tapered tool holder with a pull stud and drive dogs to help increase process
reliability. Since the servos have positional feedback and the spindle has an encoder,
the MX machine support rigid tapping. Some of the benefits of buying a Tormach machine are
the machines are user serviceable. You get free PathPilot updates for life. You get free technical
support for the life of the machine. With a single phase power requirement and liftgate
deliverability, you can install the 1100M and MX just about anywhere. With its modular design you
can grow your machine with your business, offering a tool changer or fourth axis when you need it. If
