4' X 8' CNC ROUTER
Check out the Router that started a Revolution!
Introduced over 20 years ago, the Artisan 408 was The First and still remains The Only full size, production grade, CNC Router System built to industrial specifications, yet offered at a fraction of the cost of comparable machines. The industry is littered with the competition this beast has left in the dust over the years.
Put your shop on steroids by adding the full sized Artisan 408 CNC.
This CNC Router has the capacity to process a full 4' x 8' sheet of material with an unmatched, industry leading 12” of standard gantry clearance, so you’ll chew though your projects faster and with more precision at a fraction of the cost. Perennially tops any "Best Value In CNC" list. The full sized work area comes standard with a T Slot/Clamp Hold Down System and optional Zoned Vacuum Bed to secure workpieces during even the most demanding cutting operations.
Our High Frequency, Variable Speed, Liquid Cooled spindles guarantee a long and quiet lifetime of performance. Paired with massive Nema 34 motors, this router makes for serious cutting of a wide variety of materials, fast.
Feature List
Frame / Structural Foundation. Cold rolled, stress annealed, welded heavy tubular steel frame. Robotic frame lock ensures frame geometry. Stress relieved, welded steel bed and buttress welded cross supports. Massive Vibration dampened, stress relieved, structural steel gantry beam with standard 12” clearance supports a laser trammed, load tested, steel plate head. Standard Gantry clearance is 12”. Custom extended gantry clearance is available up to 60”. Fully supported rails, laser leveled and mounted on precision mill machined ledge base supports. Finite elemental tested and vibration dampening, resonance reducing frame geometry ensure synchronous vibration elimination.
Ergonomically minded, open architectural front and back design and table height facilitates easier material loading and unloading.
Standard on all Pr Series are massive Nema 34 motors, which power high ratio, direct reduction gear transmission allowing for high speeds coupled with maximum output torque by reducing speed ratio to different levels while simultaneously dividing the motor movements for smoother motion transfer and synchronicity during the steepest accelerations and increased accuracy of positions and speeds while reducing backlash. The Automatic Axis Calibration function allows for easy calibrations so you can hold the tightest tolerances. Full control of rotation and speed is achieved without using encoders within the motor. For this reason the motors are very robust and have high reliability with far less potential for failure, and great lower end torque when compared to motors using traditional electrical components such as encoders. Additional motor options are available. Consult your CNC Specialist for more information.
Pro Series Systems include the Posi Trac Dual Drive System. Long axis is driven by offsetting motors, tandem powering both sides of the gantry by a single command to ensure higher speeds, more torque and increased accuracy on long axis travel.
Motor Drives: Standard drives are advanced two phase drives operate with high-speed pulses commanded via 0–5V input. Low temperature rise technology can be set to 51200 pulses/rev
Additional driver options are available. Consult your CNC Specialist for more information.
Windows Based Controller: point and click control ensures easy operation on the most familiar and stable platform allowing the most user friendly, fully customizable interface and operation available. Zero. Load and Run.
No foreign, proprietary control box or little hand held controller to crash large files and bog down run times. Connection options are available for DB25, USB, Ethernet. Easily transfer files by direct post, network, usb, or other non proprietary method. Fully compatible with adaptive, external drive devices.
Liquid cooled spindle, Industrial CNC Systems come standard with advanced, high frequency, full variable speed, liquid cooled spindles. Lesser systems save money by offering old fashioned “air” and “fan cooled” spindles or routers which employ fans forcing air to blow heat away from the motor. Our Liquid cooled spindles use a self contained reservoir system which cycles coolant through the motor before returning to refill the reservoir.
Liquid cooled spindles offer superior performance through non stop run times, (no need for mandatory cooling stops to disrupt your production runs), longer life cycles are realized by producing less heat which prematurely wears motors and bearings, substantially quieter operation as there no fans screaming to blow the heat away. The kw per hour operating cost is substantially lower resulting in a lower electric bill and less environmental impacts.
VFD included with all Pro Series systems. Variable Frequency Drive producing a 2000 to 24,000 RPM range of consistent torque and horse power allowing you to work with a broader range of materials and tools. Alternative spindle options are available. Consult your CNC Specialist for more information.
Precision bearings and balanced collet nut (available in a wide range of metric and standard sizes) minimize run-out resulting in superior performance.
Power: Standard table requires 220V Single phase 20 amps. Please confirm power specifications for any accessories or add ons.
Lifetime Technical Support: Original equipment purchaser enjoys Free lifetime technical support
All standard systems include T Slot Table top with clamps. Multi Zoned Vacuum Hold Down systems with high CFM pumps are available. Please consult with our CNC specialists to determine the best system and compatibility of optional accessories to meet your unique requirements.
Specifications and Actual job performance varies based on accessories, motors, devices, and proper hold down, processing capabilities and file output, as well as tool manufacturer pass, feed rate and rpm requirements for individual bits, with same consideration for intended cutting stock. Chipload calculator may be consulted for optimal conditions and maintaining maximum sharpness of tools. Displayed Specifications based on specific aspects of determined performance specification outcomes with use of non essential devices and/or mechanical options and the use off ess controlled servos. Options including spindle changes, motors, increased gantry height etc can affect operating specs and it is recommended you consult with our CNC Specialist for more information regarding machine performance etc.
