Keep in mind when shopping Avid that essential systems, such as this, are not included when selecting a machine. Sure, we expect a CAM system and typically the spindle to be an additional expenses... but not a spindle mount, motor power control systems, gross CNC control systems, limit switches, table legs on a non-table top system. Take whatever the base system cost and multiply by 1.5- then start budgeting for tooling, fixtures, dust management, CAD...
Hi, The main switch on the panel should isolate all equipment within. From what I can see on the video the independent relay controlled outlets are not. Cheers Dave.
6:25 mine does not have X+ sensor port mine has A sensor port instead...why? he connects 6 sensor cables but mine only came with 5...why? maybe an updated video for this one also.
The video states that the spindle is quiet and reliable. When frank was building his the video shows him surfacing the table with this spindle and he was wearing ear protection. What is the decibel rating of the spindle?
Is there an option to hang the control enclosures out of the way, like recessed so they are not on the edge of workspace where I will bang my knees on them every operation? It would seem if they could be arranged at 90 degrees to the side of rails under the edge rails, then the switches would be exposed on that surface.
The kits are customizable, you can place the control boxes where you'd prefer. We have hanging options coming soon. Some customers choose to hang them on the shop wall, or in a computer desk beside the machine. Check out Izzy Swan's recent CNC computer desk!
Hello, I live in Texas, and during the summer it gets around 95 degrees in my garage. My older CNC box (from another company) got too hot in the garage and would lose its communication on long cuts. Do you think I would have a problem with overheating from one of your boxes?
Hi Randy - Thanks for your question! Yes, 95℉ would be within the thermal performance range of our Plug-and-Play Controllers. Feel free to call or contact us directly at sales@cncrouterparts.com if you'd like to discuss your application in more detail. -Nathan
Hi Eric - Good question. Our NEMA 23 and NEMA 34 motor tuning parameters come optimized out-of-the-box in our Mach pre-configured machine profiles. Thanks! -Nathan
cncrouterparts Nathan- thanks for the reply. Do you guys plan on making any changes to the electronics packages anytime soon? upgrades etc? or to the spindle packages?
Hi Dave - The enclosure air intake (opposite side from fan) has a filter screen for moderate-sized particles, customers typically have not found it necessary to install a higher density filter element. Thanks! -Nathan
Great Video! Answered so many of the questions I had about the plug and play kits. Thanks!
Awesome! We are glad the video helped! -Nathan

Very informative and well done . Thank you, from a future customer
I wish you guys had cables with right angle connectors for the limit sensors . There easy to knock off as is
nice project,thank for explane this
I like the video, but is there a more current video to match the current sensor locations.
Hi,
The main switch on the panel should isolate all equipment within. From what I can see on the video the independent relay controlled outlets are not.
Cheers Dave.
Hi Dave, That's right, the power entry switch only serves to isolate the enclosure from mains/line power. -Nathan
1:32 to 1:56 Where's the electricals component to safe the Electronics and vfd....TROUBLESHOOT ?!
6:25 mine does not have X+ sensor port mine has A sensor port instead...why?
he connects 6 sensor cables but mine only came with 5...why?
maybe an updated video for this one also.
Replaced my old system with the CNCRP NEMA 23 Plug and Play and the motors now are almost silent. Super fast too.
Glad to hear it, Brian! Thanks for the shout-out! -Nathan

Very good video ... well explained ... bravo.
Would a typical computer power cable work for the Relay1,2 input?
I have a Question about the Relay ports. Are they IEC320 C13/C14 plugs ?

@@AvidCNC Do I understand correctly that the control boxes can be mounted on either side of the machine? Inside or outside? Front or back?

I'm curious, is the orange part inside the enclosure plastic or steel?
It is a powder coated steel plate.
I would like to know more about the drive motors
and how they are tuned to the mechanics
so that you get accurate movement.
Do you have for plasma cutting on 3 axis and what is the price?
hii there would you please tell me that to which other software than Mach 3 , this plug and play is compatible with.
Verry helpfull ! Thank you!
What brand are the container boxes?
Is Adam Carolla narrating this video? :)
Nathan- Do you guys use the PROTUNER software on the drivers to get the best tuning or are they good right out of the box with your motors?

normally the X is red, Y is Green and the Z is blue
Hi,
Do you have filter units for the cooling fans to stop the egress of dust into the electronics.
Cheers Dave
