    Description

    The new Tool Magazine for the STEPCRAFT M-Series makes working with the Automatic Tool Changer even more convenient! With up to ten tool holders, the Tool Magazine offers plenty of space for a wide variety of end mills. Two retaining rings for SK15 tool holders are already pre-assembled, additional ones are optionally available. Thanks to the integrated tool length sensor, the length of the different end mills can be determined quickly and automatically.

    Additionally, the Tool Magazine features an innovative, pneumatic lifting mechanism for the simultaneous use of the Exhaust Adapter and Automatic Tool Changer. When a tool is picked up or put down, the Exhaust Adapter automatically moves upwards clearing the way for the change of tool. This makes milling even more clean and efficient. The speed of the lifting mechanism can be individually adjusted via a throttle. Furthermore, the metal connector of the Exhaust Adapter can be held permanently in the highest position.

    The Tool Magazine is delivered as a partially assembled module and simply inserted in the place of the last table panel (MDF or aluminum). With the help of the enclosed plugs, unused tool slots can be easily closed and, thus, protected against dust and debris. The Tool Magazine is connected to the mainboard of the STEPCRAFT M-Series and to compressed air. For this purpose, a compressor is required with at least 9-10 bar that is not included in the scope of delivery.

    Semi Closed-Loop System™

    The STEPCRAFT M.1400 machine will automatically realign the gantry after each reference run when homing the machine.  The included Semi-Closed Loop System gives you the additional insurance of step monitoring in your CNC system. If the system detects a deviation from predefined steps from any motor, such as in the event of a crash or incorrect settings, the emergency stop is triggered automatically and your workpiece is protected. Then you simply correct the error, reference the machine and continue your job where you left off. 

    Precision Linear Guides

    Every axis of the M.1400 utilizes precision hardened linear guide rails from Bosch Rexroth.  These recirculating ball bearing linear rails provide a high load-bearing capacity, extremely reliable performance with no wear.  A special seal is built into every bearing carriage to protect the linear guide system from dust and debris, giving you a reliable, virtually maintenance-free CNC guide system. German-based Bosch Rexroth is a global leader in the manufacturing of precision ball bearing linear guide systems. Only the finest components are used in the STEPCRAFT M-Series CNC machines which gives you high performance and a very accurate CNC system.

    Highly Stable Frame Profiles

    The frame profiles are one of many areas where STEPCRAFT really excels and is constantly setting new standards with regards to the stability and design of CNC machines.  The custom extruded frame profiles are the result of countless hours of design engineering and testing utilizing the best in CAD/CAM and analysis software.  These design elements create a high force absorption and even distribution of the forces within the axis.  An extremely high torsional stiffness is achieved this way.  The STEPCRAFT frame profiles offer a level of stability that is not possible with steel.

    STRONG DRIVE SYSTEM

    The STEPCRAFT M.1400 works with maximum precision and accuracy and runs quietly and vibration-free thanks to the included HIWIN® ball screws . The powerful NEMA 23 motors drive the CNC controlled machine powerfully through a wide variety of materials.
