A PRODUCTION LEVEN CNC MACHINE FOR LARGE AND SMALL SHOPS

THE NEW STEPCRAFT Q-SERIES - AVAILABLE JUNE 2024

Increase your efficiency! Automate your shop without having to outsource your work.  The new Q-Series CNC machines will allow you to process a wide variety of materials as speeds commonly found on machines costing 2-3 times more.  And when it comes to features, the new Q does not disappoint with all the features you need to make light work of almost any job!  Automatic tool changer, vacuum table and a 7HP spindle are just a few of the many new features you will find on the Q-Series. 

The new Q-Series will be available in a Q.408 model in June 2024.  If you would like more information, we will be happy to help you.  You can reach us by email at info@stepcraft.us or call us at 203-556-1856. 

POWERFUL CNC MACHINING

The STEPCRAFT Q-Series can be used in a wide variety of areas: from woodworking in carpentry to metal construction and advertising technology. 

The STEPCRAFT Q.408 can easily process panel materials up to a length of 97 inches and a width of up to 51 inches. Powerful closed-loop NEMA 34 stepper motors on all axes ensure the powerful and super-fast drive. The CNC gantry is accelerated by two electronically synchronized stepper motors to ensure maximum travel safety and speed. 

CNC: PRECISION AND RELIABILITY

The Q-Series ensures optimal precision and reliability in the production and machining of high-quality workpieces. For this purpose, the machine frame was evenly reinforced and steel components were used in structurally highly stressed areas.  With HIWIN® ball screws on all axes, optimal efficiency is achieved.  This is reflected in a repeatability of +/- .0004″ with backlash of <.001″.

Solid Frame

  • 10 cross beams, 12 gusset plates and 6 integrated machine legs together with the two solid Y-axis traverses form a torsion-resistant machine base
  • Creation of an optimal support surface for the machine table, which, when fully screwed, contributes to additional reinforcement of the frame

Strong Components

  • Individual aluminum support axles with optimized torsional and bending rigidity as well as improved internal damping
  • 20 mm wide high-precision ball rail guide on all axes
  • Portal side parts made of 20 mm thick aluminum sheet
  • Steel connectors in structurally heavily stressed areas
