Product Description

We have paused the sales of this machine due to the virus situstion. We are planing to open again in April-May

Raw Avantic is our latest model and a further development from our previous models, Raw 1.5 and Raw 2.0. Raw Avantic is built of aluminum but in the same way as an industrial machine with high-quality linear bearings from Hiwan and a real Z-axis that can pass its own axis.The cutting depth is 165mm (Compared to about 110mm for our previous models).

These machines are so-called Desktop machines, they need a table to stand on. The reason for this design is that it should be easy to transport the machine and take it through doors and stairs. You can build your own table of wood, steel or aluminum or buy one of our tables that are adapted for the machine. the only requirement is that the table should hold the weight and be in level.

Raw Avantic is more intended for working with wood, but it is also possible to cut in harder materials such as Aluminum but on a smaller scale. The precision is good with an accuracy of about 0.1mm. Without load or at low speeds, the accuracy is the same as any industrial machine, but under load, Aluminum is not as rigid as Steel.

Avantic comes with a powerful 2.2kw air-cooled spindle with collets between 1-13mm. The speed of the machine is up to an incredible 15,000mm/min and comparable to expensive industrial machines.Our previous models and others on the market have a speed of between 4-6000 mm min.What enables the speed are the spring-loaded motors, fixed racks, and the quality of the plain bearings we use.

Why an Aluminum Machine?
Aluminum machines do not weigh as much as a steel machine. If you compare a larger Avantic that weighs about 150kg, a steel machine weighs up to 2 tons in the same dimensions.
A steel machine can only stand on concrete floors while an Avantic can stand wherever you want and can also be carried up or down stairs. A steel machine requires a truck that can unload 2 tons and wide doors, while an Avantic can be moved with a pallet lift and through doors. If the machine is in the way, it can be moved. Aluminum does not have the same precision as steel, but if you cut in wood, plastic or aluminum, a precision of 0.1mm is more than enough. Aluminum is about twice as expensive as steel, but we have chosen to only build machines in this material as the benefits are many. An aluminum machine sounds more than a steel machine. The sound comes from the rack that sits against the aluminum profiles when jogging the machine back and forth. It is not loud, but you can hear it more on aluminum machines.

support
Raw Avantic is manufactured in Sweden and developed by us who previously worked as furniture carpenters. The machine came as an alternative to the expensive, heavy Asia machines that usually have a delivery time of 3-4 months and with questionable support. We always have personal support and guarantees.

What can I cut with a Raw Avantic?
Soft wood, hard wood, Mdf, plastic, aluminum, Sign production, 3D carving and engraving etc. Note that aluminum is difficult to learn to cut and there are better machines for it such as laser or water jet.If you only want to cut aluminum, you should look at more expensive industrial machines.We have cut thousands of meters of Aluminum ourselves with the machines, but it is difficult to learn.The machine is mostly for hardwood, wood, and softer materials such as plastic. Do not buy the machine if you are only going to cut in Aluminum.

3D cutting

Is it difficult to use the machine?
No, you learn right away.The only difficult thing is to draw your parts, the rest is easy. Once you have cut your first piece, you will understand.

Consumption table (Waste board)
The consumption table is made of black Valchromat. Valchromat is a stronger MDF that can withstand water better if you treat it with oil or hard wax oil. The table is easy to replace as it consists of two tables, a base table, and a consumption table. You can easily cut out a new consumable table in MDF or Valchromat after you have worn out the old one. The consumption table lasts about 6 months. Files for a new consumption table can be downloaded from the website.
The table is of infinity type, which means that you can cut pieces longer than the table by pushing it forward between runs. You can also choose to use vacuum suction by buying vacuum cups on eg eBay. Vacuum cups are placed on the table and you can fasten your pieces using them. We prefer to fasten the workpiece with the included clamps. Using vacuum is up to the user.

Aluminum bed
You can have an aluminum bed for the machine if you prefer. We do not include this to keep the weight down. A Valchromat table works just as well, but you can mount aluminum rails like industrial machines. You can remove the top plate and screw them directly into the table. (see picture) Here you will find aluminum beds: Motedis

Calibration
Avantic has 6 safety, homing and calibration switches for safety and precision.The switches are so-called Proximity switches that have no mechanical parts.Proximity switches are extremely accurate so that the machine can return to its “home” with the best possible precision.The safety switches ensure that the machine cannot go too far. The safety switches stop the system and spindle as soon as the machine goes too far in any direction.Avantiv uses 4 motors instead of 3 like many others. By using a 4th motor, we can calibrate the machine so that it always starts at a 90-degree angle.

Precision
Precision is a balance between the user and machine. It is about how good your drawings are, spindle speed and how fast you cut. At a normal speed of about 2-4000m/min, the machine has a measured precision of about 0.1mm, we have customers who have received higher accuracy, but it is entirely up to the user. The machine is built to mainly cut wood, plastic, and similar materials. If you need the machine to engrave jewelry or for tasks that require extreme precision, you should look at more expensive industrial machines. This machine is the result of many years of development. We have cut several thousand meters of material with machines like these and done it daily for many years.

Payment
Paypal fees are very high in terms of these amounts, we ask you to make a bank payment.

Tax
As a EU member you need to pay Swedish tax of 25% if you don’t own a valid company. If you own a valid company, you will need to enter your VAT number at checkout and the tax will not be added to the price. We will check with the registry to see that you have a valid company, if not we will have to charge you the tax even after delivery.

Delivery
Shipping a CNC machine is expensive.You can use your own shipping company but let us know beforehand.If you choose to have the machine sent, it will come disassembled, read the articles on our page on how to assemble the machine.
