Follow on Google News | ShopBot's New Retro Z Increases Performance of Older ShopBot CNCsShopBot has designed an upgradeable accessory that increases speed and accuracy in their older model CNC robotic machines.
By: Dave Minella The PRS Retro Z Axis permits eight inches (203 mm) of stop-to-stop vertical travel and will not limit a tools’ current travel in the X or Y axes. Multiple hole locations on the mounting plate allow for the Retro Z to be fastened at variable heights, and a corresponding motor plate is included to allow for the mounting of a customer’s existing Z motors to the Retro Z Axis. At this time, dual Z configurations are not available. When calling to order the PRS Retro Z Axis, customers should have the model number of their current Z motors and know the style – strut or single piece – of their Y car. PR & PRT Customers may also need a spindle or router adapter kit. ShopBot sales staff can answer any questions about Retro Z upgrades.
