Shark CNC - Professional Large Format CNC

Shark CNC - Professional  Large Format CNC

Mechanical Kit only - for electronic packet see here.

The Shark CNC is designed for industrial applications and optimized for plate and sheet material. The typical user include Cabinet Makers, Carpenters, Prototype workshops, Makerspaces, small industry and many more.

Build with heavy duty aluminum extrusions and Sair linear guides, this machine will be able to handle any sheet material you can think of including aluminum plate milling like a breeze.

The machine and table is combined into one rock solid construction and you do not need to buy extra parts to mount it. The legs are mounted with heavy duty Ø80mm adjustable feet.

We have designed a new to the world Rack and Pinon Gear system that allow for maximum speed and acceleration and still protects motor and hardware against over load. 

The axis covers ensure clean linear guides and rack and pinion drives. For the costumer and operator, this means nicer look and less cleaning and less downtime due to maintenance and replacement of components. Using homing sensors and a tool touch off sensor, the machine will reliably retain machine and working area locations, allowing for efficient nesting of multiple parts in your CAD software and managing plate and sheet material with multiple part cut-outs.

The machine is designed for NEMA 24 motors on the X and Y axis and NEMA 23 motor on Z-axis. X and Y motors are connected to the Rack and Pinon drive via high precision planetary gear boxes for extreme torque. 

We have developed a complete control box based on Centroids Acorn controller and equipped with VFD for spindle speed control and power enough to run our quality Integrated Closed Loop Steppers from JMC. Using Closed Loop Steppers ensures a smooth run and secures against loss of steps. Included is also a powerful 2.2kW ER16 spindle and Spindle holder. See here for details on the controller bundle.

Combine this machine with a mist system and our high-end Risager endmills will ensure optimal performance when cutting aluminum. We will be able to assist with feeds and speeds specific to the Risager endmill collection. This machine fully supports Fusion 360 CAM, and we can supply a customized post processor specific to this machine.
