AutoRouter Overview:

So what's so revolutionary about this machine?

The AutoRouter basic seen here is configured to set or mount on a worktable or bench. This version of AutoRouter was designed to be small, lightweight and portable so that it could fit into almost any pickup truck or suv.

The AutoRouter is the first and only CNC-CAM machine that has interchangeable parts between its larger versions. Which means 80% of the machine can be used on a larger version. So if you decide you want to upgrade to the next larger version you don’t have to buy a whole new machine you can just pay the upgrade and have the parts shipped that are need for the new machine.

Specifications

  • Frame steel construction
  • Servo controlled motors with encoder allow .0002 inch step resolution*
  • Jog Controls and G-code program
  • BobCad-CAM Software with one year technical support value ($995.00 value)
  • Router Speed Controller and vacuum hookup
  • RotoZip (Router)
  • Basic starter bits to get you up and running.
  • 90 day limited warranty on parts.
  • One year software technical support.
AutoRouter Machine Dimensions Work Area
Basic 3 x 3 ft 28 x 26 inches
Intermediate 5 x 5 ft 4 x 4 ft
Grand 9 x 5 ft 8 x 4 ft
The only component that you have to provide is for the work area seen here as a wood work area but plastic could be installed if desired.

You will need a computer with a serail (Com Port) in order to interface to AutoRouter.

* AutoRouter will hold position within .001 of an inch but depending on material being milled, cutting speed and bit used variances can be +/- .005.




BobCad is a complete CAD-CAM system for the shop floor and is widely used by manufacturers around the world for 2.5 axis programming along with its ability to generate 3 axis surface toolpath and g-code programs fast. Whether you are new to CAD-CAM or not, you will find a wide range of funtionality for DXF and IGES import to NC code, complete CAD design, Profiling, engraving, 3D surfacing and much more that is easy to use.

RotoZip - RZ01
  • Amps: 5.0
  • No Load RPM: 30,000
This has more then enough power to route through most materials. The RotoZip RZ01 was picked for is raw power and ease of use we believe it will be the new industry standard.

3 JAW CHUCK - Industry 1st
Quick, Easy and Wrenchless Bit Changes!

The bits are held by a keyless collet system. can Use . "SC" series bits or similar bits with 1/8" (.125") or 1/4" (.250") shanks.

The chuck can use other manufacutors router bit including Dermel bits

Redesigned tool body has internal ribbed supports to provide added structural integrity to prevent issues of fan slippage and spindle lock failures.
