3-axis servo-driven mill combines professional-grade capabilities, easy-to-use compact versatility

Tormach has introduced its 1500MX CNC Mill, a 3-axis, servo-driven mill on linear rails with an epoxy granite frame. This machine combines professional-grade capabilities with easy-to-use compact versatility, making it ideal for both commercial enterprises and garage-based enthusiasts.

The mill offers faster feed rates, increased precision, superior vibration damping, and higher horsepower at a fraction of the cost of competitive models, according to the company.

Equipped with a 4HP, 10K RPM BT30 spindle (with a maximum of 6HP), it delivers torque for cutting through various materials and offers enough spindle speed to take advantage of modern carbide tooling. Additionally, the mill is thru-spindle coolant (TSC) ready.

Featuring servo motors with absolute encoders boasting 23-bit accuracy and battery backup, this CNC mill eliminates the need for machine referencing. Cutting feed rates of up to 1200IPM (XY) reduce cycle times and take advantage of adaptive tool paths.

Other features include a built-in camera for real-time monitoring, error message logs for troubleshooting, and tool rack options for enhanced organization. Upgrade options such as a 16-tool capacity umbrella style automatic tool changer, a fourth axis harmonic gear reducer, a TSC kit, a washdown bar kit, a wireless probe and tool setter, a mist collector, and a chip conveyor system with lift are available.

This machine operates on the company’s free and open source PathPilot control software. And it can pair with Tormach’s industrial robot, the ZA6, for light machine automation capabilities.
