PathPilot control software. Additionally, the new 4th axis kit for the popular tabletop router was just launched during the fall semester.
“With an ER32 spindle that can hold workpieces up to .75 inches, an adjustable tailstock for workpieces up to eight inches and an integrated homing switch for positional referencing, the addition of the 4th axis enables more advanced operations to help prepare students to work with the types of technology they’ll encounter in real-world manufacturing environments,” Guinta explained.
Tormach will be attending the Association for Career and Technical Education’s (ACTE) CareerTech VISION Conference & Expo from Dec. 4-7 in San Antonio, where school administrators, teachers and other attendees will have the opportunity to experience the xsTECH and its 4th axis firsthand and learn more about how Tormach’s solutions can enhance their technical education programs.
Additionally, Giunta will host the “Advanced Manufacturing in the Classroom: Intro to CNC Milling” workshop on Friday, December 6, at 9:00 AM. During this event, participants will learn how to operate and program a CNC mill using the xsTECH and discuss how integrating mills in the classroom reinforces students’ understanding of key math concepts such as Cartesian coordinates, geometry and more.
