King Rich SMX 3500 ProtoTRAK CNC Mill, 3 axis

Bed Mills are essential for when 3 axis CNC machining is required. Offering programmable ‘Z’ travel yet still keeping the versatility of a swivel head and manual quill.

The King Rich KR-B2V interfaced with the ProtoTRAK SMX CNC Controller offers a proven rigid construction solid slide-way fixed bed milling solution.

This 3 axis CNC offers the latest ProtoTRAK® technology. Canned cycles include pockets of every shape conceivable, pockets with islands, thread milling, bolt hole patterns, drilling, tapping and boring. AGE profiling means no more calculations! With the unique ‘guess’ key, if a dimension is missing from the drawing simply ‘guess’ the approximate position of a point or intersection, 3D surfacing with ‘on board’ DNC and the capability to handle virtually unlimited program size.

Electronic Handwheel’s allow in manual operation the Handwheel to be switched between course and fine, as well it has the advantage of the handwheels not spinning around when in automatic mode.

The powerful TRAKing feature of the ProtoTRAK SMX CNC comes in that you no longer have to choose between the efficiency of CNC and manual control. With TRAKing, you don't have to go through the process of proving out the CNC program before you press the Go button. You can run the CNC program at the speed at which you crank the handwheel. Go fast, go slow, stop and take a measurement, go backwards, whatever. You are in complete control as the machine moves the table, saddle and (for three-axis models) ram through the programmed coordinates.
