MachineFreedom Machine Tool Patriot machine is an industrial-quality 3-axis 5′ x 8′ moving gantry CNC router with 7″ of Z-axis travel and is capable of maximum rapid feed rates of 1,200 inches per minute.
Machine ConstructionFreedom Machine Tool Patriot machines are constructed of a rigid, fabricated steel base, utilizing heavy gauge steel tube and plate weldment construction throughout. All structural members are stress relieved for maximum stability, and all surfaces that mount precision components are precision ground and/or machined.
SpindleCustomers may choose from several industrial quality spindle options including wrench style collet spindles and push-button automatic tool change spindles.
X-AxisThe X-axis is the bridge axis and moves left to right. The heavy duty bridge will span the 48inch dimension. Actual stroke is 49 inches. Maximum feed rate is 800 inches per minute. Bridge rails are 25 mm profiled ways with recirculating ball bearings. The X-axis is driven by a 25mm recirculating ball screw assembly. The ball screw spins and is supported on each end by angular contact bearings.
Y-AxisThe X-axis is the bridge axis and moves left to right. The heavy duty bridge will span the 48inch dimension. Actual stroke is 49 inches. Maximum feed rate is 800 inches per minute. Bridge rails are 25 mm profiled ways with recirculating ball bearings. The X-axis is driven by a 25mm recirculating ball screw assembly. The ball screw spins and is supported on each end by angular contact bearings.
Z-AxisThe Z-axis is ball screw driven and supported by air cylinder counter balances. |

UtilitiesPower requirements for machine only
Compressed air requirements5 CFM at 90 PSI (Static) Note: tool change spindles require a minimum of 95 PSI to ensure proper tool release. Additional air devices will change CFM requirements. Customer is responsible for providing the compressed air.
Dust collectionRecommend 1,000 CFM at the spindle. Dust collection is not required for all machines. Client may choose to purchase a dust collector and/or piping system as an option. The client is responsible for the installation, hoses and service connections.
VacuumVacuum is not required for all machines. Client may choose to purchase a vacuum pump as an option. The client is responsible for the installation, hoses and service connections. |
