The IGM i2R A-series CNC Router is one of the top-tier small-format CNC routers on the market, combining precision, high performance, long life, ease of use and fun in one. Developed for hobbyists, small businesses and professionals alike, the router can be upgraded with many features, such as a rotary kit for 4th axis machining. The router is controlled on a Windows PC through UCCNC software, a very intuitive interface with numerous options convenient even for new or inexperienced CNC operators.
The IGM i2R A-series CNC Router is capable of machining all wood-based materials, foam, polystyrene, brass and aluminum. Designed for 2D cutting of furniture parts; making intarsia, 3D models, sculptures, samples and prototypes; or to mark and label.
The A24 features extremely precise travel on 16 mm ball screws and high-quality, low friction prismatic guide rails on each axis. For this reason, you won’t find any drive belts or gearboxes that would reduce precision and cause vibrations. Both the ball screws and the guide rails are fitted with recirculating bearings capable of supporting high loads in all directions while providing very low clearance and unmatched accuracy.
Instead of the usual air-cooled spindle, the i2R A-series includes a powerful 2200 W liquid-cooled spindle, increasing service life and especially performance. High-performance cooling system in combination with powerful, high torque stepper motors ensure that the machine can work continuously all day long without interruption.
A solid, welded steel frame carries a massive, 40 mm thick aluminum tabletop with integrated MDF boards that hold the workpiece perfectly level and protect your tools and the tabletop from damage when cutting. There are T-slots between MDF boards to install clamps and other accessories such as a dust arm or a 4th axis rotary kit.
Unlike other competing machines, the i2R CNC router is equipped with magnetic proximity sensors on each axis to prevent the gantry from bumping into end stops at limit positions. This allows the use of a HOME button that calibrates all three axes. After completing calibration, the machine will know where exactly the spindle is in relation to the working surface. All cables and cooling pipes are protected from accidental disconnection, damage, or pinching because they are integrated and encased in a flexible nylon cable chain.
The UCCNC software, which comes with a license, provides real-time visualization of every step in your laptop. UCCNC allows you to control the movement and parameters of your CNC machine; measure tool height with Z axis touch sensor; work with the 4th axis; and monitor progress of your work in both a 2D and 3D preview. Maximum compatibility of UCCNC with Windows OS lets you control the i2R router with an Xbox controller (not included).
The UCCNC program controls the machine; however, you must create your project elsewhere. That’s where CAD/CAM software comes into play. This software exports your completed project in G-code, which is easily uploaded to UCCNC with a click of a button. Then, just adjust the machine to the workpiece and start working. Due to working range of A24 model, we recommend purchasing VCarvePro software which allows you to create projects on the whole 610 x 1220 mm working area. VCarveDesktop lets you create your project in a limited working area only up to 610 x 610 mm.
The machine is supplied with Z axis touch sensor. Whenever you insert a new tool in the spindle, you have to re-measure the length of your tool relative to the machined part or working surface. The sensor is simply plugged into a port on the gantry; placed under the tool; and then the length is automatically set in the UCCNC program by clicking AUTO Touch-off button.
