What this page is

This is the "CNC Router Machines for Business" post on achievement.co.za, one of AM.CO.ZA's company sites. It points to cnc-routers.co.za, the AM.CO.ZA information site for CNC routers, wood routers and stone routers for business and industrial use.

These machines are designed to provide precision and reliability, making them an essential tool for various manufacturing processes. Discover the right CNC router for your business needs today."

This Knowledge Base version expands that into a plain guide to the range. Every point below comes from Buythis product data and AM.CO.ZA posts already in this KB, which are linked so you can read the full wording.

What a CNC router does

A CNC router is a computer-controlled gantry that moves a fast-spinning cutting spindle over a flat table. It cuts, drills, pockets, engraves and carves sheet material. The Buythis catalog note lists MDF and Supawood, plywood, melamine, Perspex (acrylic), PVC foam board, ACM or DiBond, HDPE and soft aluminium, and, on the water-table stone models, granite and marble.

Typical business uses are signage and channel letters, shopfitting, kitchen and bedroom cabinets, furniture, school and prototype work, and stone engraving. See the CNC routers catalog note for the full model tables.

The EasyRoute range

AM.CO.ZA sells its routers under the EasyRoute brand, a family of general purpose 3-axis CNC routers aimed at start-ups, small businesses and mid-sized workshops. See the EasyRoute brand page. The range has five groups:

Group	Model codes	Who it suits
EasyRoute-Express desktop DIY	`R-6090DIY/15`, `R-6090DIY/15/R`	Hobby, school and prototype shops; 600 × 900 × 150 mm on household 220 V
Signage and general routers	`R-1325C`, `R-2030C`, `R-1325K`, `R-2030K` with `/30`, `/40`, `/55` or `/HSD60` spindles	Signwriters, shopfitters and small cutting businesses
EasyRoute-Express full-size	`R1-2030K/55`, `/55L`, `/55V`	Full 2050 × 3050 mm vacuum work with the Express keypad
ATC furniture routers	`R-1325K/90` up to `R-2080K/90`, plus the Z-600 `R-1325Z6K/90L` and `R-2030Z6K/90L`	Furniture and cabinet factories with many tool changes
Heavy Duty and stone	`R2-1325V/90`, `R2-2030V/90` and others; stone `R-1325W/55`, `R-2030W/55`, `R-1325SW/55`, `R-2030SW/55`	Heavy daily production, and granite or marble work

The Buythis EasyRoute configuration list explains that not every combination is kept on hand, and highlights the configurations AM.CO.ZA recommends buying.

How to read a model code

Take R-2030K/55V as an example: R is EasyRoute, 2030 the bed, K the table, /55 the spindle and V the package.

Family: R- is the standard EasyRoute, R1- the EasyRoute-Express full-size and R2- the EasyRoute Heavy Duty with servo motors and automatic tool change.
Bed: 6090 is 600 × 900 mm, 1325 is 1300 × 2500 mm (one full 1220 × 2440 mm board), 2030 is 2050 × 3050 mm, and 2040, 2060 and 2080 are 2050 mm wide and 4000, 6000 or 8000 mm long. The 2050 mm width is described as specially enlarged for the South African market, so full 2050 mm Perspex sheets fit.
Table: C is an aluminium T-slot clamping table, K a PVC clampable vacuum table with T-slots, V (on Heavy Duty models) a bakelite or hard PVC vacuum table, W and SW stone sink tables with water recycling (SW with servo motors), and Z6K a vacuum table on a raised 600 mm Z gantry.
Spindle: /15 is 1.5 kW water-cooled, /30 3 kW water-cooled, /40 4 kW water-cooled, /55 a 5.5 kW high-torque water-cooled spindle, /HSD60 a 6 kW HSD (Italy) air-cooled spindle, and /90 a 9 kW air-cooled automatic tool change (ATC) spindle with ISO30 holders.
Package: no letter is the complete package, L is the machine only, and V is the machine plus a vacuum pump without the dust collector. /R on the desktop router adds a rotary.

Choosing a router for the job

Hobby, school or prototypes: the desktop R-6090DIY/15, with a water tray, ball screws on all axes and a 16 A household plug. See R-6090DIY/15.
Signage or a small cutting business on household power: the 220 V /30 models on the 1300 × 2500 mm or 2050 × 3050 mm bed, with either a T-slot table (C) or a vacuum table (K).
Daily full-sheet production (signage, shopfitting, cabinets): a 380 V vacuum-table router with the 4 kW, 5.5 kW or HSD 6 kW spindle. See R-2030K/55.
Furniture factories and many tool changes: an ATC router (/90) with a linear tool rack and a wired tool presetter. See furniture manufacturing with a CNC router and the furniture routers category page.
Heavy daily production: the Heavy Duty servo ATC routers. See R2-2030V/90.
Granite and marble: the sink-table stone routers with a 5.5 kW water-cooled spindle and a recycling water table.

Power supply

Only the /30 routers, the desktop DIY router and the smaller spare spindles run on 220 V single phase. All /40, /55, /HSD60 and /90 routers need industrial 380 V three-phase power, and the plug and cable are not included. Check this before choosing a model.

What comes in a complete package

A complete package (no package letter) includes the machine with its spindle, control box, keypad, tool presetter and clamps, plus a chiller for water-cooled spindles. On vacuum tables it adds a liquid-ring vacuum pump with its tank, gauge and hoses, and a dust collector with a dust hood. The L version is the machine unit only, and the V version adds the vacuum pump without the dust collector. The catalog note lists the exact included parts for each model.

Common full-size specs from the product data are 0.01 mm resolution, X and Y speeds up to 20 m/min, about 300 mm Z clearance on the standard gantry, helical rack and pinion drive on X and Y, a ball screw on Z, and a rotary-attachment interface.

Control and software

EasyRoute routers run from a standalone DSP controller with a handheld keypad, so no computer is needed at the machine. It reads G-code files from a USB stick. You still need CAM software on a PC to turn a design into G-code. AM.CO.ZA's own option is RouterCAM, a CAM plug-in for CorelDRAW; see RouterCAM CorelDRAW CAM plug-in.

Delivery, warranty and training

Full-size routers are shipped to South Africa disassembled because of their size and weight, and are assembled and levelled before handover. See how AM.CO.ZA gets every CNC router perfectly level before it ships.
Machines carry a 1-year quality warranty on parts. Some items in a package have 6 months or no warranty, and wear and tear and misuse are excluded. The catalog note gives the details.
Most full-size packages include training credits and a voucher for the CNC Router Online Training Course at Ambitious Academy. Separate courses cover basic G-code and basic EasyRoute control use; see T-BASIC/RE.

Tooling, vacuum and dust extraction

Router bits. Bits start with TL- and are covered on toolings.co.za. See high quality, low cost router bits, the toolings.co.za introduction, router bits and stone CNC tool bits.
Vacuum pumps. Liquid-ring vacuum pumps (AG-VACUUM/LR) hold sheets flat on vacuum tables. See vacuum pumps and CNC machine air pumps.
Dust extraction. See dust collectors and extractor fans.

Running a router well

Level the wasteboard so cuts are an even depth across the bed: levelling your CNC router wasteboard.
Keep noise down in a shared workshop: quieting down your CNC router noise.
