The LC Series: The New Generation

Since 2001, the Techno LC Series CNC router has been a legendary leader in the CNC router market. This machine was engineered to provide high quality and reliable performance, at an “LC” (Low-Cost) price, backed by superb customer service and support. With thousands of machines sold worldwide, customers have enjoyed the precision and reliability of the LC Series model. 23 years later, these machines are still running and are happily running daily in workshops across the US. Techno CNC Systems continues to support these machines for free, 23 years later.

Description

Discontinued a few years ago, customers have been requesting Techno CNC Systems to bring back this legendary CNC machine after having such success with their Techno router. Equipped with the newest modern technology and features, Techno CNC Systems is happy to introduce the NEW Generation LC Series that will follow suit to its predecessor. This new machine is bigger and better, featuring all steel construction and new ball screw technology. Available in three sizes, 4′ x 4′, 4’x8′ and 5’x10′ with a 12” gantry clearance, this machine comes standard with a 12HP automatic tool changer, 8-position tool rack, and pneumatically operated vacuum hood. In addition, a 4-zone vacuum T-slot table, digital AC servo motors and drives, precision linear rails and bearings, all driven with an easy-to-use and learn handheld controller.

Featured List

  • All Steel Construction
  • Available in 3 Sizes: 4’x4′, 4’x8′, 5’x10
  • 12 HP High Frequency Automatic Tool Changer Spindle
  • 4-Zone Vacuum T-slot Table
  • Digital AC Servo Motors and Drives with Ballscrew Technology on all 3-Axes
  • 8 Position Tool Rack
  • 5 Pop-up Pins for Easy Sheet Alignment
  • Pneumatically Operated Vacuum Hood
  • Easy to use Handheld Controller
  • Open architecture works with all industry standard CAD/CAM software

Features

  • Steel Base
  • The base frame is fabricated from heavy-duty tubular steel that is welded, stress relieved and precision machined, so that the foundation remains true and steady over the operational life of the machine. The machine weighs in at over 5,500 lbs.
  • Gantry
  • The LC comes standard with a 11″ raised gantry. The gantry is constructed of tubular steel that is precision machined. This quality engineering and workmanship results in smooth precision cutting.
  • Spindle
  • The New Generation LC Series machine comes standard with a 12 HP high frequency automatic tool changer spindle. This precision spindle requires no maintenance, uses industry standard ER collets and ISO 30 tool holders, is fully programmable with speeds from 6000 to 24000 RPM, and comes complete with a pneumatically retractable vacuum hood.
  • Tooling
  • The New Generation LC Series machine includes an 8-position tool rack in the rear of the machine. The position of this rack allows for easy loading and unloading of material from either side of the machine.
  • Vacuum Shroud
  • The New Generation LC Series includes a pneumatically retractable CNC vacuum hood with a 6″ connection, thus creating a concentrated cyclonic effect resulting in efficient removal of all dust and debris.
  • Drive Motors
  • The New Generation LC Series CNC Router utilizes digital AC servo drive motors and drives. These motors require no regular maintenance — therefore, reducing any maintenance downtime.
  • Electronics
  • All the electrical components are housed and wired in a doubled-doored NEMA 4 electrical enclosure. This allows for easy access and service when needed. All wiring is tagged so that when service is required, the customer can easily navigate the cabinet. In addition, the cabinet serves as a work bench for the tools required.
  • Pop-Up Pins
  • The Techno New Generation LC Series Machine comes standard with 5 pop up pins. These pins allow the operator to bank the edge of the material against them precisely aligning the material to the axis of travel and always having a common origin.
  • Tool Calibration
  • Tool Calibration is used for recording tool length offsets. This is an automatic process for easy storage of tool length offsets.
  • Z-Zero Touch Pad
  • Automatic tool calibration pad allows for easy and accurate “Z” zero position.
  • Vacuum Table
  • The New Generation LC Series comes standard with a multi-zone phenolic vacuum t-slot table. The table can be easily customized by rerouting gasketing to section off specific areas.
  • Controller

The Hand-Held Controller

The hand-held controller is the heart of the operational system. This hand-held controller redefines the phrase “easy-to-use”. Customers can be up and running the same day power is connected to the machine. Every controller has very easy-to-read, -understand, and -execute commands.
