Machine Standard Features

  • 12 HP 24,000 RPM Router

    12 HP 24,000 RPM Router w/4 Position Bar Style Automatic Tool Changing System

    One (1) 12HP, 24,000 RPM variable speed router equipped with a four (4) position Automatic Tool Changing System. Includes four (4) ISO-30 tapered tool holders with four (4) collets, and preset tooling changing fixture. 3 positions will accept tooling up to 11.5 inch in overall length. Standard maximum tool size is 2” diameter. Standard

  • Automatic Lubrication

    Automatic Lubrication

    Provides positive pressure, air/oil lubrication to the linear trackway bearings and the ball screws  This has two major benefits:  First, it eliminates the lubrication points which must be servided each shift.  Second, it provides positive pressure to the bearing, preventing contamination from entering the bearing.  This allows the machine to function in difficult, dusty or hostile environments. Standard

  • Automatic Tool Length Sensor

    Automatic Tool Length Sensor

    Provides an automatic method of measuring tool length and entering tool length offset numbers into the control.  This automatically compensates for the new tool length, eliminating the need to precisely locate the cutter bit.  It provides a highly accurate method of adjusting tool length for pocketing or profile edges. Standard

  • Impact Resistant Five Axis Head

    Impact Resistant Five Axis Head

    A positive locating joint between the axis 5 arm and the rest of the machine. Decreases the amount of force applied to the head in the event of a collision, diminishes the need for realignment, and reduces fixture and spindle damage. The Impact Resistant Head can also be "locked out" in the event machining forces exceed the device limitations. Standard

  • Volumetric Laser Compensated Axis Alignment

    Volumetric Laser Compensated Axis Alignment

    The machine is calibrated in all axes using a three-dimensional volumetric laser interferometer. This type of calibration is the most sophisticated and most accurate available today resulting in machines that are extremely accurate. Others may use single axis calibration (not nearly as good) and others may not calibrate at all. Uncalibrated machines can generate dimensional errors that can become a real problem. Standard

  • Thermwood SuperContro

    Thermwood SuperControl

    The Thermwood SuperControl is a feature rich, high performance CNC control system. Thermwood, the only major CNC router manufacturer that designs and builds its own CNC control, is a leader in implementing advanced control technology. As a result, Thermwood has been granted more patents on CNC router technology than all other CNC router manufactures in the world, combined. Standard

  • Machine Training

    Machine Training

    We are by your side during your 5 Day training course at our modern, state of the art center (devoted specifically to educating our customers). This is, by far, the fastest and most efficient way to learn. Our machine operator/programmer courses are located adjacent to the machine training lab, where students complete the prescribed projects on a specific training machine utilized only for training purposes. Then, when it comes time for practical applications on a full sized machine, Thermwood's training lab is equipped with a CabinetShop 45 outfitted with all major options and features. Real production-type parts are cut. What a confidence builder!  Standard

Machine Options

  • 21.5 HP Liquid Cooled Tool Change Spindle

    19 HP Liquid Cooled Tool Change Spindle

    Includes HSK tapered spindle (standard maximum tool size is 2" in diameter and 3" in length. Optional

  • 5 Axis Chip Collection Hood

    5 Axis Chip Collection Hood

    Consists of the piping, ducting, hood(s) and swivels which attach directly to the machine (collector not included). Optional

  • Additional 10'x10' Wall Extensions

    Additional 10'x10' Wall Extensions

    Additonal wall extensions can be added to increase the length of the machine in 10' increments. Optional

  • Additional 10'x10' Table Extensions

    Additional 10'x10' Table Extensions

    Additonal table extensions can be added to increase the length of the machine table in 10' increments. Optional

  • Access Doors

    Access Doors

    Heavy duty metal entrance doors, located on one end of the machine.  The doors operate on linear rail and bearings.  Doors have polycarbonate viewing windows and additional access doors can be located on each of the high rail walls.Optional

  • Remote Start/Stop Pedestal

    Remote Start/Stop Pedestal

    A remote pedestal with start/stop switches and a 30 foot cable. Optional

  • Gantry Lighting System

    Gantry Lighting System

    • High quality bright quad row LED lights mounted in a weather resistant enclosure and designed for tough environments. The unit is mounted under the gantry for better examination of finished parts and illuminating the work envelope when programming at the machine. Optional

  • Vacuum Pump

    Universal Vacuum System is a unique method for holding panels to the table top for machining.  A sheet of particleboard or low density MDF is used as a work surface on the top fo the table.  The high flow pump vacuums through the work surface, holding the part to the table.  Pumps are available as 15HP (11kw).  Conventional vacuum also available. Optional
