Sherline 2-Axis CNC-Ready Machine Slide (Metric)

Description

• Sherline 2-Axis CNC-Ready Machine Slide (Metric)
• Engineered from durable 6061-T6 aluminum
• Supports precise CNC applications
• Features adjustable leadscrew backlash
• Includes mounts for NEMA 23 motors
• Measures 8×2.75 inches with flexible mounting

The Sherline 2-Axis CNC-Ready Machine Slide (Metric) is a precision-engineered component designed for use in CNC applications. It is primarily constructed from 6061-T6 aluminum, which is known for its strength and durability, and features a black anodized finish for enhanced resistance to wear and corrosion. The slide incorporates steel parts with ground dovetails, ensuring smooth and precise movement. The table measures 8 inches by 2.75 inches and is equipped with a metric leadscrew, which is precision rolled from steel to ensure accuracy and reliability. The leadscrew backlash is adjustable, allowing for fine-tuning to maintain precision over time. The dovetailed tables and saddles are fitted with adjustable gibs to eliminate play, further enhancing the accuracy of the machine slide. The handwheels, measuring 1-5/8 inches, are graduated in 0.01 mm increments, providing precise control over movements. The machine slide is CNC-ready, featuring mounts for NEMA 23 stepper motors, which are essential for automated operation. It is important to note that the slide cannot be operated manually until the stepper motors are installed. The design includes mounting provisions from both the bottom and the top, offering flexibility in installation. The machine slide is capable of supporting a weight capacity of approximately 10 pounds and is designed to withstand a duty cycle of 2080 hours under heavy use. Note: Do not use WD-40 as a lubricant.
