01/28/2010 - Tormach Announces Release of the Tormach CNC Scanner™
Tormach, LLC announced today the release the new Tormach CNC Scanner™, a dimensionally accurate 2D scanner for use with a PCNC or other Mach 3 power CNC mill or router. The scanner makes high resolution composite images by automatically stitching together an array of snapshots taken with a USB microscope mounted in the spindle of the mill. The length scale of these composite images is calibrated to the motion of the mill allowing for very accurate measurements that might not have been possible with conventional gauge tools. It includes Tormach ScanCAD™, an integrated analysis software for precision measurement and reverse engineering.

01/19/2010 - Tormach Announces Release of PCNC 770 Milling Machine
The PCNC 770 offers the proven performance of the besting selling PCNC 1100 Series II in a smaller package.
Tormach, LLC announced today that it has released the new PCNC 770™ personal CNC milling machine. The PCNC 770 has a space-saving footprint and a basic 115VAC household electrical service requirement. The optional patent pending moving kit allows the machine to be transported as component pieces, making this the first serious machine tool designed specifically for a basement shop.
Over 2 years in development, the design of the PCNC 770 combines reliable cast-iron construction, P4 grade ballscrews, and sensorless vector drive spindle technology to create a simple and robust platform with ample options for user-installed upgrades, just like the best-selling PCNC 1100 Series II. The mill weighs 662 pounds and is equipped with a 10,000 RPM spindle -- well suited for prototyping, hobby, small business, R&D, or educational use.
“Since we first released the PCNC 1100, we’ve heard from many people that space is a real constraint,” said Greg Jackson, president of Tormach. “We wanted to build a CNC machine that can fit smaller spaces without compromising the performance or quality that our customers have come to expect when they purchase a Tormach PCNC.” Like PCNC 1100 Series II, the PCNC 770 has enough power to cut the toughest materials – steel, stainless, even titanium.
