ProtoTRAKreg; SMX

ProtoTRAK SMXThis 2 or 3 axis C.N.C. 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’ D.N.C. and the capability to handle virtually unlimited program size.
