Key Specifications & Features
Approximate Cutting Area:
- X-Axis: 1275mm
- Y-Axis: 1315mm
- Z-Axis: 135mm
HGR Linear Rail on Y-Axis and X-Axis |
|||||||
 |
Both the X-Axis and the Y-Axis use HGR Linear Rail for their motion system.
The HGR Rail is made from hardened steel and is secured along the length of the Aluminium extrusion which creates a very rigid actuator. Chatter when working on composites and metals is reduced with the installation of steel rails. |
||||||
Increased Working Height |
|||||||
| The working height on the OutBack CNC has a working height of 150mm or approximately 135mm if a 12mm base-board is installed. The taller height is achieved without accuracy loss due to the strong X to Z mating and linear rail being used on both the X-Axis and Z-Axis. |
|
||||||
C-Beam HEAVY |
|||||||
| Our famous C-Beam HEAVY is installed on the X-Axis and Y-Axis. This upgraded extrusion makes the entire machine significantly stronger, especially in the X-Axis. This HEAVY extrusion comes as standard with the OutBack CNC and as such, the machines can achieve impressive cut quality due to the rigidity of the extrusions compared to machines of a similar class.
|
 |
||||||
Slimline Z-Axis with MGN 15 Rails and Bearings |
|||||||
 |
MGN Rails are a low-profile version of the well-known HGR rails. The New Z-Axis uses High-Quality MGN Series Linear Rails and MGN15C Bearings. This combination of rail and bearings offers high rigidity and precision accuracy in linear motion.
The OutBack CNC takes advantage of the low-profile MGN rails that are responsible for keeping the centre of gravity as close as possible to the X-Axis gantry. This simple “trick” mitigates the X-Axis from twisting and causes less stress on the Y-Axis wheels. |
|

Lead Screw Transmission
The OutBack CNC uses Lead Screw transmission to achieve high-resolution levels and great repeatability. This transmission also requires little ongoing maintenance, with nut-blocks often having an average functional life of longer than 3 years. Lead Screw transmission combined with our stepper motors makes for a very accurate system that can reach a resolution of between 0.05-0.1mm.
XYZ Touch Probe
With its user-friendly design, the XYZ Touch Probe simplifies tool and workpiece setup. Probing specific points or edges enables the machine to precisely determine the position of the tool or workpiece. This eliminates the need for manual measurements and ensures consistent setups across multiple machining operations. This saves valuable time and improves overall workflow efficiency.
