Waunakee, WI (May 31, 2019) . . . Tormach Inc. has announced it is now supplying servo motors for its line of 1100M and 770M CNC milling machines. Servo upgrade kits are now available for existing users of these machines, which allows them to convert their current ‘M' series machines to ‘M+'.
Users who replace to servo motors will enjoy numerous benefits, including:
-Faster speeds - more than double feed rates
-Higher acceleration - allows machine to get up to speed much quicker
-Reduced noise
-Closing of the feedback loop into the control system
-Time and money savings on every part made
Tormach has released a video that is available on YouTube that shows examples of the time savings that can be achieved using the servo motors over the conventional stepper motors: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZThv3Ryhw0M&feature=youtu.be
'For the huge majority of machinists using our 1100M and 770M mills, updating to the servo motors is an easy decision,' said Lori Morrison Bufalo, Marketing Director at Tormach. 'We've made it easy and affordable for users to run this upgrade and begin getting even better results out of their Tormach mills.'
The cost to upgrade to the servo motor package is $1,995.00. Additional recommended items including an automatic oiler kit are available for an excessive fee.
Later this year Tormach plans to offer a BT30 spindle upgrade package to users as well. This update will allow users to take their ‘M+' mills to the ‘MX' level, meaning they will have the servo motors along with BT30 spindles, encoders, and power drawbars.
