3 AXIS CNC MODELS

OLYMPUS

MANUAL TOOL CHANGE

The Olympus CNC is an easy-to-use, industrial CNC machine with a 6kW air-cooled spindle and has a manual tool change.

The user-friendly Olympus CNC router can handle the most challenging jobs 24/7. It is a heavy-duty industrial CNC machine weighing over 2 tons.

This CNC machine is our most affordable CNC, yet remains a reliable and precise industrial CNC router. It is also ideal for those with no previous experience of CNC routing. 

OLYMPUS PRO

MANUAL TOOL CHANGE

The Olympus PRO CNC router is a step up from the Olympus model, but comes equipped with a 9kW HQD quick-release spindle, Opus PRO control system and servo motors & drives.

Importantly, in the future it can be retrofitted with the 8 position linear rack, auto tool change system, making this CNC machine future-proof when needs change.

The Olympus PRO is ideal for those who require an adaptable CNC, without breaking the bank!

OLYMPUS ATC

AUTOMATIC TOOL CHANGE

Are you looking for an affordable CNC router with an auto tool change? Then look no further than the Olympus ATC CNC router for up to 8 tools.

4 & 5 AXIS CNC MODELS

TETRA

4 AXIS CNC ROUTER

The new Tetra ATC CNC routers are available with a 4th axis. The 4th axis is available either as angular or rotational.
 
The rotational axis allows cylindrical works to be carried out. Angular allows side-drilling and shaping up to ± 90°. Also, the angular 4th axis offers side drilling and routing on 2 edges of material, which is ideal for kitchen cabinetry, plastic fabrication and door manufacturing.

LOTUS

5 AXIS CNC ROUTER

The new Lotus 5-axis CNC router is known for its power and precision. With the combination of Fusion 360 and the Lotus 5-axis CNC router, you can take your creativity to the next level.
 
A standard CNC router functions on an X, Y & Z axis, limiting you to 2D creations, the Lotus 5-axis CNC router goes beyond that by utilising additional A & C axes.

CNC Add-Ons

Not everyone requires an off-the-shelf CNC machine. For that reason, all Opus CNC machines can be fitted with one of the below attachments.

It’s important to note that our CNC routers fitted with the attachments below are not stock machines and are manufactured from the point of order. If you are looking for a specialised CNC router, please speak to one of our CNC experts for professional advice.

Oscillating Blade

Oscillating Blade

A robust cutting tool intended for heavier, thicker and harder materials than a traditional knife can accommodate. Full directional control of the blade allows straight edges and sharp corners to be cut cleanly and accurately.

Tangential Knife

Tangential Knife

The tangential knife is suitable for softer materials such as leather, rubber and single-ply cloths which tend to fray easily, and require cuts to be cut with clean edges. 

Creasing Wheel

Creasing Tool

The creasing wheel attachment precisely creases materials like cardboard, making it ideal for packaging folds. It is highly favoured in packaging manufacturing as it eliminates human error and delivers cleaner, more consistent results.

Rotary Device

Rotary Device

Enables full 360° rotation of the workpiece for the perfect cylindrical carving and engraving, making it possible to machine profile bars and posts, such as newels for staircases and table or chair legs, with speed and ease.

Drill Bank

Drill Bank

The drill head has the capacity to hold up to 9 drill bits for a wide range of machining. It is suitable for a vast range of materials including non-ferrous metals, plastics, woods and composite materials.

CCD Camera

CCD

The CCD camera detects pre-printed registration marks to determine the exact cutting toolpath. This is mainly used in conjunction with large-format printers and is ideal for sign-makers.

Automatic Tables Loading & Offloading
We all know how tricky it can be loading large sheets of material onto a CNC machine manually.  Therefore, all Opus CNC routers can be manufactured to accommodate the automatic loading and offloading tables; making material placing a whole lot easier!

What makes our vacuum beds stand out?

The Opus team of engineers have designed all Opus CNC routers to offer superior suction, throughout all of our CNC machines!

Vacuum Bed for CNC Router

Extreme Suction

A common concern with standard CNC routers is the loss of suction at the edges of the vacuum bed. Why? Most CNC router machines have a standard bed layout with uniform shallow channels. These superficial channels restrict the airflow as it moves away from each vacuum hole, giving a significant loss of suction.

We have designed all vacuum beds on an Opus CNC router to come equipped with a tapered vacuum matrix bed with much deeper grooves radiating away from each vacuum hole. This tapered grid bed allows maximum airflow throughout without restriction, even to the extremities of each bed zone. 

Practical Zoning

We have redesigned the vacuum bed zones to provide maximum suction for various material sizes. Our CNC routers with bed sizes of at least 10′ x 5′ deliver optimal suction when working with both 8′ x 4′ and 10′ x 5′ sheets.

The grid below illustrates how a 10′ x 5′ CNC router is zoned to accommodate both 10′ x 5′ and 8′ x 4′ sheets, ensuring maximum suction for these specific sizes as well as full coverage across the entire bed.

Do I need an 

Automatic Tool Change ?

Efficiency and Productivity: The auto tool change (ATC) allows a CNC machine to change tools automatically without manual intervention. This reduces downtime between machining operations, leading to increased efficiency and productivity. Operators can load multiple tools into the ATC rack, and the machine can select and change tools as needed, enabling uninterrupted machining.

Reduced Human Error: Manual tool changes are susceptible to human error, such as selecting or misaligning the wrong tool. An ATC eliminates these errors by precisely selecting and positioning the correct tool according to the CNC program.

Consistency and Accuracy: An ATC ensures that the same tool is used consistently throughout a machining process, leading to greater accuracy and consistent results. This is particularly important in industries where precision is critical, such as aerospace or medical device manufacturing.

Unattended Operation: An ATC-equipped CNC machine can run unattended for extended periods. Once programmed, the machine can automatically change tools and continue the machining process, allowing operators to focus on other tasks or run multiple machines simultaneously.

Reduced Setup Time: A manual tool change can be time-consuming when a machine needs different tools for various operations. With an ATC, setup time is significantly reduced, as the machine can swap out tools with minimal delay.

an Opus CNC router?

HIAB Delivery
Delivery

All 1313, 1325 and 1530 models are delivered by a curtainsider lorry. Therefore, a forklift is required to offload. 

2030, 2040 and 2060 models are delivered by a HIAB, so no forklift is required to offload.

Installation
Installation

All of our CNC routers include installation by one of our experienced engineers. We will carry out the full installation, including the wiring in of the extraction unit. It normally takes approximately one day for the installation of an Opus CNC router.
