A1HSRi² & A1HSRsi

Floor standing high performance routers specifically designed for educational and training installations

The PC controlled Boxford A1HSRi² & A1HSRsi High Speed Routers are ideally suited to a classroom environment and offers the ideal solution for high tech. education and training requirements. Operating on IBM/100% compatible computers, the inclusive user-friendly software has routines for Computer Aided Design [CAD] at both simple and sophisticated levels and will process the drawings through to a full machining routine.

CNC Features

• The Boxford software is an integrated suite of powerful CAD/CAM tools.
• The CAD includes the handling of most text fonts with excellent manipulation routines.
• Drawings from other CAD applications can also be imported and processed. A full 3D simulation of the manufacturing process, including a cycle time, can be shown enabling work to be proven without the need for trial runs on the machine. Manual Data Input allows programs to be entered using international Industrial programming conventions.
• The A1HSRi
² & A1HSRsi High Speed Routers incorporate hardware capable of continuous 3 axis movement utilising the latest Continuous Path Manufacturing technology. This allows large programs, imported from Major CAD/CAM packages, to be machined extremely efficiently and is an essential machine feature for successful manufacture of 3D reliefs.
• Additionally,
A1HSRsi incorporates high speed servo motors for the ultimate performance.
• Designed for both 2D and 3D manufacture, the long Z axis travel allows the machining of tall components.
• The powerful 1KW High Frequency spindle motor, and rigid machine construction, allows the use of high material removal rate strategies producing a component throughput lighter machines cannot match.
• Touch sensitive control panel incorporating illuminated push buttons allows the machines to be operated without a computer.
• Active and accurate tool path graphics continuously displayed line by line during program write, test run and manufacture.
