4 axis MicroCNC milling machine

Suitable for:

  • Unit 23 of the BTEC Higher National: CAD/CAM
  • Unit 40 of the BTEC National award in Engineering: Computer Aided Manufacturing

The 4 axis MicroCNC milling machine allows students to understand how G codes are used to control a CNC operated milling machine.  The four stepper motors and DC motor connect to our CNC system controller hardware to allow full control of the miller using the G code file host software.  Students can use the hardware and software to see how each G code command affects the machine operation and create complex work pieces from PU blocks or acrylic pieces.

Learning Objectives/Experiments

  • 4 axis CNC machine construction
  • Simple G and M code protocol
  • CNC machine operation using G codes
  • Creation of milled and turned parts using CNC technology

Supplied as a kit that needs modest assembly.

You will also need: MicroCNC system controller and base plate

 Compatible software: CamBam software
