4240 CNC MACHINE
The 4240 Laser CNC Machine is a precision cutting and engraving system designed for small to medium-scale projects. It typically features a working area of 420mm x 400mm, making it suitable for a variety of materials like wood, acrylic, leather, paper, and certain metals.
Key features of 4240 CNC machine:
Large area working: Size- 42”X 40” working area, ideal for medium-to-large projects.
Adaptability: It can be used for milling, drilling, cutting various material.
Fast cutting speed: capable of handling high feed rates while maintaining accuracy.
Safety and monitoring features: Limit switches and safety sensor to protect machine and operation.
Emergency stop buttons for quick machine shutdown in case of malfunction.
Working area 4240 CNC:
X-axis: (Length)
Dimension: 42 inches (1070 mm)
X-axis represent horizontal movement of CNC machine tool or work piece This axis controls the movement from left to right across the material.
Y-axis: (width)
Dimension:40 inches (1016 mm)
The Y-axis controls the horizontal movement perpendicular to the X-axis. It moves the tool or material forward and backward to make cuts across the width of the work piece.
Z-axis: (Height and depth)
Dimension: Varies, but typically around 4-8 inches (100-200 mm).
Z-axis controls the vertical movement of the tool, The height or depth may vary depending on the machine’s spindle size and type.
Why Choose a 4240 CNC Machine Over Other CNC Machines:
Larger working area: Bigger Material Handling: With a 42″ x 40″ working area, the 4240 CNC machine can handle larger sheets of material, such as wood panels, metal plates, and large prototypes.
Versatility: Material Compatibility: The 4240 CNC machine can work with a wide range of materials, including wood, acrylic, plastics, aluminium, brass, and composites.
Powerful cutting capability: Spindle Power: The 4240 CNC machine is equipped with a 1.5kW to 3kW spindle, providing the power to handle heavy-duty cutting, whether it’s wood, metal, or composites.
Cost effective: While machines like industrial CNC mills or industrial laser cutters with larger work areas are more expensive, the 4240 CNC machine offers a balance of cost and functionality.
Setup for 4240 machines:
1.Assemble the Machine
Mount the X, Y, Z-axis spindle, and stepper motors.
Secure all screws and ensure smooth movement.
2️. Connect Electronics
Wire stepper motors, limit switches, and spindle to the controller.
Connect USB or Parallel Port to the computer.
3️. Install Software
Choose and install GRBL, Mach3, or Fusion 360.
Configure work area (42″ x 40″), steps per mm, and spindle speed.
4️. Calibrate the Machine
Test each axis movement and adjust steps/mm.
5️. Run a Test Cut
Load a simple G-code file and cut on soft material.
Adjust feed rate and spindle speed if needed.
