ELECNC6090 CNC Router Series for Small Shop
The size of a CNC router is crucial because it determines the maximum size of the workpiece that can be processed. The "6090" in the name refers to the size or working area of the CNC router- approximately 600mm x 900mm (or roughly 2 feet by 3 feet). They are the smallest CNC routers among these 4 series. Moreover, it is also the series with the most categories and most affordable price. Next, I will introduce the most 4 common 6090 CNC routers for small shops.
2×3ft 3 axis CNC router
The 2×3ft 3-axis CNC router is a standard CNC router for small shops. It operates with three axes: X axis, Y axis, and Z axis. These machines are commonly used in various industries for cutting, carving, engraving, and shaping materials such as wood, plastic, metal, and composites. And most beginners will choose 3 axis CNC series as their first choice. And it is the best router for small shop with low budget.
2×3ft rotary axis CNC router
A 2×3ft CNC router with a rotary axis is a specific type of CNC machine that combines the capabilities of a standard 3 axis CNC router with the ability to perform cylindrical engraving and carving.
2×3ft 4-axis CNC router
The 2×3ft 4-axis CNC router for small shops operates with four main axes: x axis, y axis, z axis, and a axis.
While the additional added A axis allowing the the cutter or engraving head to rotate around the vertical axis of the object while working. This enables the machine to work on multiple sides or faces of the workpiece without repositioning it manually.
2×3ft ATC CNC router
The 2×3ft ATC CNC router is added with an automatic tool change magazine：linear type or carousel type.
In an linear tool change system, tools are usually stored in a straight line. The required tool is selected and removed via linear motion. The linear automatic tool change system is renowned for its fast tool changes. They move quickly in a straight line, reducing downtime. Compared with disc tool magazines, it can be more compact and save space.
While in a disc tool changer system, tools are stored in a rotating disc or plate with multiple tool slots. The rotation of the disc brings the required tool to the removal position. Disc tool magazines can usually hold more tools and have a larger capacity than the linear ATC magazine. This is beneficial for applications requiring a variety of cutting tools.
