The MNU1 is an enclosed desktop bridge style CNC milling machine.
Made from a welded 6061 T6 aluminium frame the MNU1 is robust enough to handle any job and has been designed specifically to machine harder alloys including steel. With a maximum stock size capability of 320mm W x 220mm D x 120mm H it has room enough for most jobs and is the largest working area in its class. It also has an additional 90mm of table space either side for tool holding clamp placement or job overhang, giving it an overall bed width of 500mm. This extra bed width is also very handy when it comes to using additional tooling like our rotary 4th axis and 5 axis trunnion as the axis drives do not encroach into the work area giving you more usable space.
The MNU1 has a custom machine spindle that is also available with an automatic draw bar providing the machine with automatic tool change capability. Fitted with a BT30 tool holder it has the flexibility to handle a variety of tooling.
The MNU1 includes an integrated flood coolant system which is essential for cutting harder materials.
Powered by a self contained custom NC controller, the MNU1 maintains a desktop footprint without additional bulky control cabinets, making it a truly transportable solution. Machine control is handled via a custom browser based HMI that connects to the machine via Wifi and can be accessed from any tablet. mobile or PC via a browser
The custom HMI includes a custom speeds and feeds database to assist with job programming and also includes built in Fusion360 support with a custom post processor and tool data plugins. It is even possible to send the post file direct to the machine, promoting a simpler workflow and leveraging the power of Fusion 360's CAM features.
The MNU1 can also be used with other CAM workflows and can even be controlled from a regular GCode sender such as chillipeppr or UGS making it a good option for those upgrading from generic router style machines as they can retain their existing workflow.
