2�2 Workspace
The workplace needs to provide enough space around the CNC gantry milling system for the machine to be able to fully
use its traveling paths and allow the user to work comfortably. Additionally, a safe distance to possibly nearby positioned
machines is to be maintained.
The location of the machine as well as the workplace surrounding the machine has to be sufciently illuminated. The PC
controlling the machine is to be placed in the vicinity of the machine in order to have both in clear view.
The workplace needs to be compliant with the applicable regulations and provisions of the respective industry.
2�3 Intended Scope of Use
The STEPCRAFT D-Series is constructed for a permanent and regular application for private and smaller industrial
applications. This machine is not suited to be used for mass production. Due to the torsional stiffness, a variety of differ-
ent materials, such as wood, plastics and non-ferrous metals, can be processed.
The following manufacturing processes and applications are possible:
• Machining manufacturing processes such as drilling, plotting / vinyl cutting, engraving and scratching.
• Additive processes, such as FDM 3D printing.
• All processes requiring 3D positioning such as measuring or dosing.
bridges but is also possible with other clamping devices. The STEPCRAFT CNC gantry milling system consists out of the
following, sometimes optional, components:
• CNC gantry milling system D.420, D.600 or D.840.
• Electronic control unit on the rear side of the CNC system with a parallel, USB or network module.
• System-guided tools such as a milling motor.
• PC including control software with clock / direction output signals such as WinPC-NC or UCCNC.
