5000 Series CNC Router

MultiCam's 5000 Series CNC routers are our most flexible machines. Designed for high-speed routing in a broad range of woodworking, plastic and non-ferrous metal applications, they are easily configured to meet most application requirements. Rigid all-steel plate frame construction and space saving, moving-gantry design makes them a robust, commercial-grade machine designed for heavy-duty CNC routing. With the industry's largest range of standard table sizes and spindle configurations, Multicam's 5000 Series CNC routers are an ideal choice in today's competitive manufacturing environment.

MultiCam routers come very complete. Pick the spindle which best fits your needs and you are ready to go. We recommend our auto mister for cutting aluminum and brass. The auto mist function only comes on when the cutter is entering the material. This avoids waste and excess mess. All maintenance tools are included as well as grease to lubricate the bearings.

Helical Rack System

The new High Speed Helical Rack system upgrade to the MultiCam 5000 Series CNC Router is very impressive. If watching the system move is not impressive enough, just wait until you cut with it.

The system comes standard with an automatic lubrication system that keeps a slight film of oil on the rack. The lubrication system is required to reliably achieve the velocity that the machine is capable of. With speeds of 2000 ipm single axis and 2800 maximum rapid traverse the Helical Rack System can get to a full speed move within 4.44 inches.

There are a number of advantages that Helical Rack has versus straight rack. Helical rack & pinions run much quieter than straight rack and pinions, especially at high speeds. Due to the angular cut in the Helical rack and pinion setup, there are thrust loads on the gear shaft. This action requires thrust bearings to absorb the load and maintain gear alignment. The Alpha Gear Boxes that MultiCam already uses are designed to handle this load, and the new design of the 5000 Series automated routers allow for exceptional perpendicularity and gear alignment. Faster acceleration and accuracy is achieved because of a greater number of teeth engaged than straight racks. Distributing the load over several teeth also reduces wear and increases the life of the rack and pinion system.

MultiCam recommends this upgrade to anyone that wants to cut smoother, faster, and more accurately. Cabinet shops or other companies that have projects requiring point to point drilling will see a substantial decrease in job times. This is primarily due to the high accelerations. Customers with longer machines will also see a significant benefit with the high-speed rapid traverse moves.

Vacuum Options

The vacuum systems available from MultiCam have been developed through years of testing and trial. Because many applications require different hold down techniques, the standard systems offered meet a wide range of demands. All MultiCam systems feature solid phenolic working surfaces. The phenolic is gridded on a standard pattern with .5" grooves on 2" centers. Ports and optional valving arrangements vary with the size and type of system.
