CNC SUPRA Vertical Knee Mill Features

• Works on 32 bit operating systems: WINDOWS 7, VISTA, and XP on USB.
• Powerful X, Y, and Z-axis micro-stepper motors are size 34 with 1200 in/oz. of torque. Stronger torque coupled with micro-stepping motion keeps the CNC Supra from losing steps and performs as accurate as a servo system.
• The minimum possible motion is .0001” with a minimum speed of 0.5” per minute. The maximum speed is 100” per minute on your Rapid Settings with ramp down effect to keep the machine from jerking.
• X & Y Zero Backlash Ball Screws with pre-loaded ball nuts to eliminate play on the table travel, and give precision machining
• X & Y Direct Drives--no belts to adjust. This results in smoother operations and ensures accuracy unlike bipolar, pulley and belt, drive methods which can cause the belt to buckle causing inaccurate results. This unique design of direct drive keeps the user without having the need to change the belt or adjust as it wears down.
• Z Axis Zero Backlash Ball Screw with pre-loaded ball nut to eliminate play on the up and down travel of the Quill.
• Quill Driven which is better than a knee driven Z axis; this maintains rigidity of the part being machined on three axis interpolation.
• Home Reference Sensors on the X, Y, & Z which saves your home/zero position as the first line of your program. This feature allows you to quickly return to the home position on any program without having to manually zero your three axes again.
• Full 3 Axis or optional 4 Axis coordinated motion control. True Interpolation.
• Limit Switches on all extreme ends of X, Y, & Z travel allowing you to confidently test your program without having to worry about an axis travel to its end and causing damage to machine.
• Tool Height Compensation with Automatic Quill Retraction for easy R8 collet tool change
• Tool Cutter Radius Offset Compensation
• Run your tool path from any line on your program
• Easy to Use Jogging Features and Feed Control
• Jog-Input Command automatically writes each line of your toolpath as you manually jog each axis by pc mouse, keyboard, or the optional hand held remote control joystick to save as a program for repeat use.
• Software Power Feed capabilities on X, Y, Z, and W with one click of the pc mouse for exact relative driving distance.
• Hooks up to your PC, comes pre-built from the factory
• Pre-engineered for you when it comes to pitch and resolution. No axis or motor tuning needed at setup. No additional parameters set-up required. Display resolution is 0.0001 micro-stepping travel. Just start using it.

A testimonial from our customers, Holgate Enterprises in Florida using a CAD-CAM software on his CNC Supra Mill:

Hi CNC MASTERS,

I wrote the program on BOBCAD. It was a little tricky but basically I used it for a training exercise kinda like mountain climbing! Bobcad uses what they call "Solids". Under this category are "Primitives". There are five choices of these primitives: Sphere, Cube, Cone, Cylinder and Torus.

When using these, you must (always) instruct the program the size of these"parts". A chain is made up basically of Torus's and Cylinders. The torus being the ends (left and right) and the center portion is the cylinders. Unfortunately, the program will not write a half a torus. However, one can draw the whole torus and then"erase" half of it. After the first "Link" is successfully drawn and verified using the "render" command, then its just a matter of copying the link, pasting it (in the correct numerical distance to the right), rotating it 90 degrees (every other link is either vertical or horozontal.) and so on.

Upon completion, it has to be rotated every 90 degrees and ran again until the four quadrants are completed. Also, if you examine the picture, at the corners the two vertical sides finish with a half link turned 90 degrees and the top and bottom ones (shorter) must "meet" these corners too. So, as you can imagine, it was a real task and involved large degrees of visualization and so forth.

CAD-CAM software

CAD-CAM softwares are an integral part of the CNC Masters Machinery and of the CNC world of machining in general. Yes, you can use simple commands found on the Master operating software to program your CNC Masters machines, but if you are planning to machine a complex design then investing in a CAD-CAM software will be an invaluable tool as much as your CNC Masters machinery. 3D design and translation of your drawing into G-codes will save you extensive downtime instead of writing your g-codes files from scratch and reducing mathematical errors in design.

Check out this quick Video Demo how CAD and CAM software creates your tool path programs to machine your applications on your CNC MASTERS machinery.

CNC Master's Supra Vertical Mill Accessories

Hand-Held Remote Control

Our most popular CNC accessory, now only $485.00!  Almost every customer orders one with their CNC Masters Milling Machine.

Our exclusively designed Hand-held Remote Control gives you greater ease in controlling the CNC Jr., Baron, or Supra during initial setup as well as during the operation of the machine without using your computer keyboard. Most importantly--you can jog your axes while never having to remove your sight off the part. Machine simple slots, do profiles, and drill holes without booting up your computer.

The Hand-Held Remote features:

• Knobs for spindle and feed speed control
• Joystick to jog any of the selected three or four axes which allows the CNC Jr./CNC Baron/CNC SUPRA to be operated without having to touch your keyboard or manually cranking the Hand Wheels on the motors.
• Micrometer wheel which is located on the bottom of the remote.  This feature allows you to position any axis in a minimum increments of approximately .0002" and two added multiple selections to move medium speed and faster speed.
• "GO" button from where you can run your program loaded on the host computer.
• "ZERO" button which allows you to remotely zero any axis during setup.
• Red "KILL" button is located at the top of the remote to be used in the case of an emergency stop.

The Hand Held Remote comes with Velcro on it back for easy mounting on the machine and plugs in directly into the Control Unit through serial port.  It is worth adding this accessory to your CNC MASTERS Mill or it retrofit kits for its added convenience and time saving features.

Variable Spindle Speed Computer Control for CNC Jr. PLUS or the CNC Supra Mill

The optional variable spindle speed control allows you to power on/off and select any speed through the MASTER software.  This feature becomes very useful for the user needing automated control of the spindle speed.  This feature will save the user time from having to stop the tool path program in order to manually adjust the belt and pulley to obtain a different desired spindle speed.   The control is a three phase power inverter and requires 240VAC single phase power to operate.  The belt and pulley system are kept on your machine for added convenience of changing the torque on the spindle.  For example, the user needs a very low spindle speed which he can get using the variable feature, but the user also needs a high torque; adjusting the belt will give the user the extra flexibility of adjusting the torque on the spindle if the need of adjusting the torque should ever arise.  The variable spindle can now also be powered on/off and maintain speed control through the Master Software or Hand Held Remote Control while having the motors disengaged to manually machine a simple part if needed.

The CNC SUPRA with "computer controlled variable spindle" is powered on single phase 240 vac .

Engraving Attachment

(Above) One of our oldest customers of roughly 12 years recently sent us these engraving pics from there CNC Jr. Milling Machine. Their testimonials are the kind that keep us happy and pushing to drive some of the best relationships in the business.
	With the CNC Jr., Baron, or Supra, there is no need to have a separate engraving machine. The optional engraving attachment combined with the 3-D machining ability of the CNC Jr., Baron, or Supra, offers engravers creative opportunities not possible before. Furthermore, with the 4th axis rotary table, you can now engrave on curved surfaces!  For example, you could scan the autograph of your favorite baseball player and engrave it on a bat, or you could have a pool cue engraved with your own unique design.  CNC MASTERS offers Three Choices: CNC Jr/Baron Engraver Attachment The engraving attachment, which is a 3/4 HP Router that has a maximum speed of 23,000 RPM, mounts on the same spindle axis. It can be quickly attached or removed with a single clamping screw.  You will have 11" of throat space or distance from the table to your router to machine your intricate details on your part.  The router comes with a 1/4" collet so any tool with a 1/4" shaft will work.  You can also use a reducing adaptor from 1/4" shaft to 1/8" holder for your tools that have 1/8" shaft.  (The Router Attachment is designed for the CNC Jr. or Baron Table Top Mill.) AIR TURBINE Air Spindle Attachment (can be used for the CNC Jr, CNC Baron, or CNC Supra Mills) You also have the option of the Air Driven Spindle with a maximum speed of 40,000 RPM, for jewelry, mold making, and fine machining and engraving such as designing a three-dimensional face for a doll or action figure.  The Air Driven Spindle requires your air compressor to go to 90 PSI at 3 cubic feet/minute of air volume to obtain maximum RPM and connects to your spindle with R-8 collet.   The AIR TURBINE Model 625JS -- 3/4" shank, 1/4" collet size for cutting tools.  The jewelry design in this picture was from our satisfied customer in the jewelry business using the CNC Jr Mill and the Air Turbine Air Spindle. Design is by Nouveau, Inc. in Bersa, OH.

(above) These pictures were sent to us from another satisfied customer using the CNC Supra along with 4th Axis and Supra Engraver.

...."I decided to buy the rotary table at same time as the CNC SUPRA machine itself.  Thank the
Lord 'cause about a month later I had a gear cutting job come in for 100 gears at $150 a pop!  Paid for the thing 15 times over! The Supra Engraver was a great idea!" --Ed Holdgate, Florida USA

4th Axis Rotary Table

TRUE CNC FOURTH AXIS CONTROL! The ability of our CNC Control Unit to interpolate one or multiple axis with the 4th axis 6" rotary table, offers more options for machining difficult parts. Our 6" rotary table can be easily jogged and has a minimum motion of 1/100 degree. It can be secured on a horizontal or vertical position.  The fourth axis motor is the same as the X, Y, Z motors which are size 34 with 1200 in/oz. of torque and is programmable in the same manner as the X, Y, Z axes.  The the motion of the fourth axis can be interpolated with the X, Y and Z. The rotary table is easily removable from our cnc mills when three axis machining is needed only.

Quick Tool Change

Tool change with height compensation. With the CNC Jr., Baron, or the Supra you can machine production parts that require several tool changes. You can program up to ten different tools. The MASTER software will automatically adjust the Z axis for each tool change. The tool height compensation complements our manual quick tool change system. It only takes a few seconds to release and replace a new cutter from the master holder. This smart investment will pay off in no time. CNC Masters is proud to bring you two options to choose from, the quick tool change system by Royal Products or quick tool change system by Billet Designs.
