A low cost, high capacity, Vertical Machining Centre specifically designed for educational and training installations.

The PC controlled Boxford MidiMILL Vertical Machining Centre is ideally suited to a classroom environment and offers the ideal solution for high tech. education and training requirement's. 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 provides a variety of drawing tools, including 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, utilising Industrial Standard Codes, allows
  programs to be entered using either line by line or conversational programming.
• Incorporates 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 efficiently and is an essential machine feature for successful Rapid Prototyping of 3D reliefs.
• The axis travel and table dimensions provide a machining envelope with excellent Z axis travel for 3D
  manufacture and generous X and Y travel for machining sheet material.
• 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.
