Knuth CNC Drill Press/Milling Machine Mark Super CNC

Low-Cost Entry-Level CNC Milling Machine with advanced Windows-based GPlus control

proven box-column design made of cast-iron and hardened guideways ensure high table load capacities up to 200 kg
powerful main motor with electronic controls and low-noise 2-step gears ensure high torque and a wide speed range
vertical cutter head with manual quill feed can be switched via hand-wheel to precision feed for maximum flexibility
the cutter head swivels 45° to both sides, quill feed allows angular bores
servo motors on all axes provide precise and constantly accurate positioning of the work table via preloaded ball screws
Ideal for single parts production: by omitting the enclosure, the operator has plenty of clear space for handling the workpiece and clamping medium; therefore, the control will operate only in a single-set mode

GPlus 450 Fräsen

GPlus 450 - Windows-based CNC control for milling machines

Easy, user-oriented operation allows quick creation of programs
450 NC blocks/sec, 200 sets LookAhead
40 GB hard drive to store NC programsbold;">
Intuitively programmable, customizable machining cycles with a large variety of help graphics in the Cycle Editor
10/100 MBit Ethernet interface allows remote diagnostics from anywhere in the world; USB port
No knowledge of G & M Code Instructions necessary
Workshop-oriented programming at the control or external programming (CAD/CAM)
received the TechStar 2008 award for most innovative future-oriented products

The GPlus 450 features a 17“ TFT color monitor with touch-screen display to display all data for a user-friendly programming experience and easy operation
Status messages show the user the current state of the control
Frequently used machining sequences can be programmed quick and easy using the graphics-based Cycle Editor.
With the use of Input masks, the Cycle Editor guides the operator intuitively and self-explanatory through the editing steps. A separate Help Graphic is available for every definable parameter
Knowledge about the G and M Code Command Set or special programming language are NOT needed. However, experienced users have the ability to use DIN/ISO programming to create NC programs.
Graphic simulation with integrated zoom function for a detailed display of actual chip removal
A standard 10/100 MBit Ethernet interface and USB port allow fast data transfers from externally created programs (CAD/CAM) and saving these on the GPlus 450 hard drive

Why PC Technology?

PC Technology serves as platform for high-performance CNCs, since it allows us to automatically take part in the development programs of leading manufacturers of motherboards, hard drives, software, and operating systems. Thus, these manufacturers provide us with an "extended workbench". The rapid development of these components gives the KNUTH GPlus 450 a special edge.
Optionally, the GPlus 450 software may be installed on a regular office PC (System Requirements: Intel processor) whereby the user interface is fully identical with the machine control user interface. This allows for a very realistic operation and programming training of newcomers. The created NC programs can be tested and simulated and are fully executable on the machine's control.

Maximized PC power results in optimized speed, surface quality, and accuracy of the machine tool and ensures high dynamics and ease of use. This makes the GPlus 450 ideally suited for a large variety of machining technologies, e.g. milling (form construction). Programming of technology-specific machining cycles is quick and easy; therefore, this control can be used for both single part and small batch productions.

The portable hand control unit features an ergonomic design with two Acknowledge buttons (safety enable). The machine axes can only be moved, if one Acknowledge button is activated. Two rotary selector switches are provided for axis selection and feed speed setting. Additionally, the hand control unit is equipped with an emergency stop button, an electronic hand-wheel and machine-dependent function keys to simplify machine set-up.
