For CNC machine manufacturers, we must first consider the manufacturer’s production strength. Production strength is directly reflected in the woodworking CNC machine quality and types of CNC machine. Therefore, it is very necessary to visit the manufacturer for field inspection if possible. Field inspection can more intuitively inspect the processing effect of the CNC wood carving machine. In addition, remember to check if the CNC wood carving machine manufacturer provides a complete after-sales service system. These services include a series of pre-sales and after-sales services. It is specifically manifested in software training, technical guidance, installation guidance, and usage guidelines of the wood carving machine. A perfect service system shall allow you to sit back and relax in terms of the wood CNC machine purchase, operation, installation, and maintenance.
Customers should choose the model of their best CNC router machines according to their business needs and budget. Generally, the wood engraving machines with small CNC router table sizes mainly include 300x400mm, 600x400mm, 600×600mm, and 600×900mm, and the feed width needs to be less than 600 mm. Such CNC routers for woodworking are also deemed as the desktop CNC router or hobby CNC router. Engraving a two-color board is the most basic application of a desktop CNC router, and it is very acceptable. The price of the hobby CNC router is relatively inexpensive.
CNC engraving machines with large CNC router table size include 1200×1200mm, 1200×1500mm, 1200×2400mm, 1300×2500mm, 1500×2400mm, 2400×3000mm. And the feed width of the above models is less than 1200mm. The most commonly used size of wood panels for cabinet making is 1220×2440mm. So the 4x8 CNC router and other CNC routers for woodworking with larger router table sizes are quite suitable for processing such wooden panels. Among the best CNC machines, the 4x8 CNC router is the best-selling model.
Choice of the spindle motor.For the spindle motor of the woodworking CNC machine, different power suits different CNC woodworking applications. You need to choose a spindle motor suitable for your use according to your materials and processes. This can improve production efficiency and save resources.
Generally, low-power spindle motors are mainly used in the advertising industry and fine processing of small crafts. And it is mainly for engraving work. Because of its low power, the ability of a wood carving machine to cut thick materials is relatively poor. And it is not suitable for engraving and milling thick materials.
The general high-power CNC engraver machine spindle motor is mainly for cutting, engraving, and milling. The high power ensures strong cutting ability.
Choice of the drive system.There are two options for the drive system of the CNC routers for woodworking, namely three-phase stepper motor and servo motor. The servo motor is a closed-loop control. It will measure the speed of the motor in real-time when the wood CNC machine is powered on. Because of its large starting torque, the starting speed is fast, and it will reach its rated speed in a short time. In addition, its overload capacity is strong and suitable for the cases of frequent starting and stopping and when the starting torque is required. However, the stepper motor belongs to open-loop control, does not measure the speed, starts relatively slowly, and generally does not have the overload capability.
If your production requires fast speed and high processing accuracy, we recommend the servo motor for your wood CNC machine. But the price of a servo motor is much higher than that of a stepper motor. In case that you neither want a stepper motor nor have enough budget, the hybrid servo motor could be a good choice for your wood CNC machine.
Choice of the transmission system.Generally, the drive system of the CNC router machine adopts a rack guide rail. The rack falls into the straight rack and helical rack. Compared with the straight rack transmission, the helical rack has better bite and higher precision. Guide rails of the wood CNC machine generally include square rails and circular rails. The load capacity and accuracy retention capacity of square rails are several times that of circular rails. The large-format CNC routers for woodworking usually adopt square rails as the transmission system. This can not only improve the processing accuracy but also improve the service life of the CNC routers for woodworking.
The most important factor affecting the CNC router price is the CNC wood router configuration. Depending on the configuration of the wood engraving machine, the processing functions realized by the CNC wood router machine are also different (cutting, hollowing, lettering, plane carving, embossing, etc.). Thus, the CNC router price is naturally different. The configuration related to the CNC router price mainly has the following 7 aspects:
1. Transmission method.In terms of transmission mode, wood engraving machines are divided into ball screw-driven CNC router machine and rack-driven CNC router machine. The three axes of the former CNC router machine are driven by ball screws. While the X and Y axis of the latter CNC wood router is driven by racks, and the Z axis can adopt ball screw transmission. Therefore, from the perspective of driving mode alone, the price of a rack-driven CNC wood cutting machine is more expensive than a ball screw-driven machine.
2. Spindle.When it comes to the cooling method of the spindle, the water-cooled spindle of the same power is cheaper than the air-cooled spindle. From the brand point of view, imported brand spindles are more expensive than domestic ones. To take the point of the power, high-power spindles are more expensive than low-power ones.
3. Motor and driver.Similar to the spindle of the CNC woodworking machine, the power and the brand of the motor and driver are also the main factors that determine the CNC router price.
4. CNC router table.The most commonly used CNC router table falls into three types: aluminum T-slot, vacuum T-slot, and whole vacuum worktable. Besides, the CNC router table also comes in various dimensions. Different types and sizes of CNC router tables lead to different prices. The higher the worktable size, the higher the CNC wood cutting machine price.
5. Machine bed.The machine beds of a CNC wood router can fall into ordinary square tubes, thick-walled square tubes, cast iron, and other types. CNC routers for woodworking, especially nesting CNC, shall have rigid and durable wood CNC machine bed for the purpose of long-term and large quantity of cutting work. The cost of the bed also has an effect on the price of the CNC wood router.
6. Crossbeam.The material of the crossbeam of a wood CNC machine can be steel, iron, or aluminum. The material of the beam directly affects the machining accuracy. And the price of different materials varies greatly.
7. Guide.The guide rails of the wood CNC router are divided into square rail compasses. The gauges of the same specifications are stable and accurate, and of course, the price is much more expensive than the compasses.
In addition to the factors listed above that affect the CNC router price, other factors may include after-sales service fees, packaging fees, transportation fees, customs fees, etc.
