CNC Routers
Flecknoe has supplied and installed Thermwood 5 Axis CNC Routers throughout Australiasia including New Zealand, Singapore, China and Australia. Flecknoe has factory-trained specialists available to support any installation in any market.
Five axis CNC Routers have become the accepted method of trimming three dimensional plastic parts. CNC Routers increase productivity, reduce cost and improve quality. The only draw back has been that a decent machine has been expensive... until now!
Thermwood specialise in three-axis and five-axis CNC routers. They built the first CNC router in the world and have since spent millions of dollars developing the latest CNC router technology. Thermwood offers over thirty features and capabilities not available from anyone else. The five axis offers full five-axis simultaneous motion, five-axis tool length compensation, constant tip speed and built-in CAD path generating capability.
Thermwood offer two basic types of five-axis CNC routers. The Model 67, a moving table, fixed gantry machine and the Model 70, a fixed table table moving gantry machine.
Programs developed offline with a CAD/CAM system are only as good as the ability of the router to execute them. The Model 67 is laser calibrated to assure the highest level of position accuracy. Laser alignment and calibration is generally reserved for multimillion dollar aerospace machines.
