The Atlas Series

Unparralleled Cut Quality and Efficiency

This Atlas model machine is all steel construction providing the rigid foundation required for ultra-smooth routing results. The Atlas machine includes a 4HP HSD collet spindle and includes a dust hood that concentrates air flow at the cutter which provides optimal dust collection performance. The multi-zone high flow vacuum t-slot table is constructed from very hard Phenolic which is a very stable material and holds tight tolerances for precision cutting. The machine drive motors are Nema 34 powerful high speed stepper motors, thus providing the power to route any wood, plastic, foam, or non-ferrous metal. The controller is a stand-alone handheld controller. The buttons on the controller are all pre-programmed to perform certain machine instruction, thus making machine operations easy to learn and use. No other machine on the market includes all of these features and capabilities.

Features

Steel Base

The base frame of the Atlas Series is fabricated from heavy-duty tubular steel that is welded, stress relieved and precision machined, so that the foundation remains true and steady over the operational life of the machine.

Gantry

The gantry is constructed of tubular steel with reinforcing ribs, welded throughout the length of the column, which results in a steady firm beam assembly. This quality engineering and workmanship result in smooth precision cutting.

Spindle

The Atlas machine comes standard with a 4 HP HSD high frequency collet spindle. These precision spindles require no maintenance, use industry standard ER collets, come fully programmable speeds from 6000 to 18000 RPM, and come complete with a vacuum hood and wrenches.

Drive Train Assembly

Techno CNC Systems uses new-generation precision helical rack and pinion drives with high dynamic performance and accuracy. These pinion drives deliver ultra smooth motion, power, and speed to the equipment. The helical pinion is directly driven by the digital AC servo motor with ultra-quite performance. The result of this new generation helical drive is superior cut quality, accuracy and machine longevity. This technology allows Techno to build large format machines that deliver speed and accuracy where ball screw driven machines are limited.

Gantry Uprights

The gantry uprights are cast iron with heavy duty gussets formed into the casting. Each support is machined for housing the various drive assemblies including motors, bearings, and wiring harnesses.

Vacuum Table

The Atlas comes standard with a multi-zone phenolic vacuum t-slot table which is controlled by electro-pneumatic valves. This can be easily customized by rerouting gasketing to section off specific areas.

Drive Motors

This machine utilizes brushless motors & drives. These motors require no regular maintenance therefore, reducing maintenance downtime.

Tool Calibration

Automatic tool calibration pad allows for easy andaccurate “Z” zero position.

Electronics

All the electrical components are housed and wired in a doubled-doored Nema electrical enclosure. This allows for easy access and service when needed. All wiring is tagged so that when service is required, the customer can easily navigate the cabinet. In addition, the cabinet serves as a work bench for the tools.

The Hand-Held Controller

The hand-held controller is the heart of the operational system. This hand-held controller redefines the phrase “easy-to-use”. Customers can be up and running the same day power is connected to the machine. Every controller has very easy-to-read, -understand, and -execute commands.
