Digitizing Probe & Tool Setter

Tormach offers an electronic Digitizing Probe (PN 30668) which enables faster setup of jobs on the machine. The probe is used to set the work offset values corresponding to the position of the work on the table or in the vise. It has a standard TTS (¾") shank and is best used in the ¾" R8 collet (PN 30146). The standard probe tip is 0.1575" in diameter (4 mm). The probe cable has a male 5 pin DIN connector. This connector will join to the auxiliary socket provided on the PCNC 1100 operators control panel. The Tormach Digitizing Probe also comes with a sturdy storage case.

 

The Tormach Tool Setter (PN 30669) is typically used to measure and set tool lengths and Z-axis work offsets. When contacted by a tool it works with the machine control software to record position. Description The tool setter enables fast and accurate measurement of tools and setup of jobs. It also has the advantage of setting work offsets with no risk of chipping the edges of high performance carbide mills. The tool setter cable has a male 5 pin DIN connector. This connector will join to the auxiliary socket provided on the PCNC 1100 operators control panel. The Tormach Tool Setter also comes with a sturdy storage case.

Machining Vise

A good vise is the foundation for much of your work. We have found a 6" vise is too big, a 4" vise is too small but this one fits perfect. A comparison of vise size, machine table, and work space is available on a drawing in our document library. Please note, this is a DXF file and you need to open this file with a CAD program (click here - some computers require you to right-click and save before it will open). Clicking on the photo will get you a high resolution image. Manufactured in the USA .

High Speed Spindle

The High Speed Spindle Kit (photo on left) consists of a Proxxon IP/E high speed electric die grinder and a rigid offset spindle arm. The Spindle Arm (photo on right) clamps on to the spindle nose, holding the Proxxon spindle off to one side. The 100 watt motor, variable speed up to 20,000 RPM, is excellent for engraving, precision milling, prototype circuit boards and drilling small holes.

Tapping Heads

Tormach offers both a Small Tapping Head (PN 30613) and Large Tapping Head (PN 30612). These are reversing style tapping heads, designed to be loaded in the PCNC 1100 mill as a TTS tool and used to thread previously drilled holes under CNC control.

An auto-reverse tap head has an internal gear/clutch mechanism which provides two functions. First, it will allow compliance in length to accommodate variation between spindle rotation speed and Z-axis speed as the tap screws into the hole. Secondly, it contains a gear clutch mechanism that will reverse rotation of the tap as the tap head withdraws. This allows the tap to screw itself out of the newly threaded hole without the need for reversing the spindle.

Machine Arm

Tormach's Machine Arm (photo on left) is a great addition to your PCNC 1100. It can be mounted directly on the machine column. It has a rigid support with a machined cast iron support bracket, two sturdy steel extension arms, and a center pivot. It is fully adjustable and easy to install. Any LCD with a standard VESA 75 mm or 100 mm mount can be used. Every machine comes with the column drilled and tapped to fit our cast iron bracket. The supporting arms are machined to allow routing the cables inside the arms.

The Tool Tray (photo on right) is used in conjunction with the Machine Arm (sold separately) and used to hold up to 20 tools.

Please note, LCD displays and keyboards normally need extension cables when used with a keyboard arm. Our video extension is PN: 30280, the USB extension is PN: 30279.
