A Computer Numerical Control (CNC) machine, including a computer numerical controller, the CNC machine comprising:
- a tool spindle for holding and actuating a tool for contacting a workpiece;
- a support frame comprising at least one frame element carrying the tool spindle;
- at least one angle adjustment actuator, coupled to the support frame and the spindle for deflecting an angle of contact of the tool to the workpiece;
- a motion actuator for causing movement of the tool spindle and tool;
- and
- an electronic controller for controlling the motion actuator.
A support assembly for supporting a CNC machine, the support assembly comprising:
- a support frame, the support frame comprising a CNC machine receiving portion and legs for supporting the CNC machine receiving portion on a surface, the legs having a retracted position and a deployed position;
- and
- at least one lock, coupled to the legs, the at least one lock having a first position in which the legs are movable from the retracted position to the deployed position to lock in the deployed position, and a second position in which the legs are movable from the deployed position to the retracted position to lock in the retracted position.
A Computer Numerical Control (CNC) machine assembly, comprising
- a CNC machine including a computer numerical controller;
- a support surface;
- a linearly arranged plurality of guide rollers rotatably associated with the support surface to rotate in response to a work piece sliding along the linearly arranged plurality of guide rollers;
- and
- sensors associated with the guide rollers to sense the extent of rotation of the guide rollers, the sensors being operatively connected to the controller, wherein the controller calculates a length of work piece sliding along the linearly arranged plurality.
A support assembly for supporting a CNC machine, the support assembly comprising:
- a support frame, the support frame comprising a CNC machine receiving portion for supporting a CNC machine in a wall-mounted position;
- and
- at least one bracket having wall mounting features for rigid mounting of the bracket to a wall;
- the support frame comprising a bracket mating feature to mate with the at least one bracket;
- whereby a CNC machine may be supported in a wall-mounted position.
