The Professor V2.3 is truly the ultimate in bench top CNC routers. This machine is more robust, more accurate, faster and oozes superior quality to any other bench top CNC in the world.<\/h6>\n

The world class components, the standard and optional features and the Italian industrial duty air cooled motor spindle, are the best of the best in all the Professor V series machines. The Professor CNC routers are designed by CWI for hobby, professional and educational users looking for ultimate performance and accuracy from their CNC router . The Professor V series models are now available in 24\u2033 x 36\u2033, 24\u2033 x 51\u2033 and 48\u201d x 48\u201d working areas.<\/p>\n

The Professor bench top CNC are built solid from the ground up. The one-piece heavy-duty cast-iron frames provide a very robust structural foundation for extreme rigidity and tight tolerances. The 1\u201d thick cast aluminum gantry and motor mounts allow a table height clearance of 8\u201d and are propelled by exceptionally strong 4-amp stepper motors which power 5\/8\u201d heavy duty ball screws, running on THK linear guides and bearings.<\/p>\n

The V series machines are powered by HSD Italian built router spindles which are more accurate and quieter than many other competitive spindles. The V2.3 and V2.4 models use 2 HP (1.5 KW) and the V4.4 model uses a 4 HP (3 kW) spindle which run on single phase 220-volt power with use of Delta phase inverter with speeds of 0-18,000 rpm\u2019s. The router spindle comes standard with 1\/8\u201d, 1\/4\u201d, 3\/8\u201d and 1\/2\u201d high precision ER25 collets with other sizes also available. The V series machines come standard with a portable tool measuring station for making accurate measurements of cutting tool height. The measuring station can be placed anywhere on the table for quick measures during project programs.<\/p>\n

The dust collection capabilities on the V series have been specially designed by CWI with safety, efficiency and functionality as its focus. Firstly, we designed two ports of connection. Trying to have a dust hose attached directly to the dust hood around the router spindle always creates difficulty in how to keep a flexible dust hose out of the working area. Because of this many competitor models offer a dust hood as an option and not as standard equipment. We believe dust collection to be important so adding the second port above the spindle allows a small section of dust hose to attach to the dust hood itself and the other end high above the spindle to keep the dust collector connection high out of the way. Also built into the dust hood is a dust bellows that seals the area around the router spindle down to the dust hood, creating a better enclosed suction area for increased efficiency. Then for ease of changing tooling the dust hood has a hinged opening to swing away access for simple tool changes.<\/p>\n

The working areas on the V series CNC are dual layer Bakelite vacuum ready tables, which when partnered with an optional vacuum pump, make a great surface for vacuum clamping the work piece to the table. The tables also feature T-Slots for mechanical holding as well. This allows the user to purchase a vacuum pump with the machine or as an option in the future. Another Unique feature of the V series bench top CNC is the ability to add an optional fourth axis attachment for working projects in the round, up to 5\u201d in diameter. The machines are all pre-wired, so simply purchase the fourth axis attachment and plug it into the CNC.<\/p>\n

These amazing machines have a rapid travel speed of 315\u201c\/minute and can cut at up to 195\u201c\/minute. All Professor CNC feature simple to use, NC Studio model NK105 G3 handheld controllers. Simply download your work program from your computer to a memory stick, slide it into the USB port on the control panel of the CNC, and the handheld controller then loads the programs for the next projects . Using memory sticks to transfer information is important for keeping your computer out of the dusty world of your workshop.<\/p>\n

The \u201cguts\u201d of the Professor is a control box full of Schneider CSA contactors, fuses and holders, motor controls and the Weihong control box. The Professor is fully CSA certified for use in Canadian and American schools and commercial applications.<\/p>\n

Design software is not included with the machine but is sold separately. CWI recommends the Vectric CNC products including both V-Carve Pro and Aspire.<\/p>\n

Other options you may wish to consider purchasing with your new Professor CNC are our newly designed heavy duty portable CNC stands and enclosures. The stands are available separately or with an additional safety enclosure. The stands feature heavy duty casters for movement around the shop as well as drawers and cabinets for storage of options like tooling, toolbox, a fourth axis attachment or a vacuum pump. The enclosures bolt down to the stands to completely enclose the operation of the CNC for safety. There are three large doors that open for ease of access to the CNC but are electronically connected to the CNC for safety. If the doors are open the CNC cannot run a project program. We offer two sizes of stands\/enclosures to fit all Professor Bench Top CNC models.<\/p>\n
