are only using the machine a few
times a day, then speed may not
be an issue. Like cars, speed costs
money when buying a CNC router.
If your goal is to crank out pieces in
a shift, then you want to reduce operator intervention as much as possible.
In some cases, the operator may
need to change the tool from one
bit to another during a job. This can
take time and means the router must
pause. Many routers have an option
for automatic tool changers that will
perform this task without operator
intervention. On a final production
note, the power of the spindle
(router head) can affect performance.
For example, it may take multiple
passes for a low-powered router to cut
through a 3/4-in.-thick board. A higherpowered head will be able to accomplish the cut in a single pass.
A couple of final notes on choosing
a CNC router: If your budget is very
small, you may want to consider a
handheld CNC router. These devices
are placed onto the material and will
route a section. An index guide is
used to move to the next section to
continue the job. Obviously, this will
take longer than with a traditional
table, but may be just the ticket if your
needs are small. On the other end
of the spectrum, you may have an
in-house UV printer. Some companies
now add digital finishing options with
their routers, potentially eliminating
the need for a separate machine.
CNC routers are a tremendous
addition to almost any signshop.
They can save time, money and add
additional products to the catalog.
Just be aware of your need, and
make sure you acquire the proper
machine for the job.
