The IGM i2R B-series CNC Router was developed for first time CNC users. This CNC router combines high quality components with precision engineering to deliver an exceptionally capable and high-performance entry-level machine. 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 is outstandingly precise, high-quality machine made of industrial components, giving you an affordable entry into the world of CNC machining.

The IGM i2R B-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 B22 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.

A powerful 1,5 kW air-cooled spindle and high torque stepper motors deliver enough power for demanding work lasting several hours.

A solid, bolted steel frame carries a 25 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.

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 hose.

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; 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 B22 model, you can purchase only VCarveDesktop software, which allows you to create projects on the whole 610 x 610 mm working area, or VCarvePro, which has added features.

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.
