MAAC’s - Royce Router: 5 Axis CNC Machine
By Mike Alongi 29th December 2009
Royce Router Model R55T5A
MAAC’s – ROYCEROUTER: 5-AXISCNCMACHINE
CAROLSTREAM, IL – MAAC Machinery, a leader in the manufacturing of thermoforming machinery is producing a line of 5-Axis CNC routers to the thermoforming industry, labeled Royce Routers.
The Royce Router is providing faster feeds and speeds, higher quality, and more reliable components in order to allow processors the ability to match the output of rotary thermoforming machines. This router is designed specifically for the maximum production of trimming thermoformed parts. The Royce Router combines the latest technology and speed to improve cycle times up to 400% when compared to traditional CNC routers. This allows processors to not only speed secondary processes, but eliminates the need for multiple “slower” trimming machines typically required to provide an equivalent output.
This addition to the MAAC line up allows them to now provide complete processing cells; from forming equipment and molds, to trimming equipment and trim fixtures. With the ability to provide everything from a single source, MAAC can greatly reduce project timing, pre-set all processing parameters, greatly reduce learning curves, and assure complete cell integration.
