Closed-Loop or Servo Motor Portal Milling Machine

Milling with Outstanding Precision

The T-Rex CNC portal milling machine with a steel substructure is ready for your work processes with precision and speed! The T-Rex CNC machine is available either as a CNC router with closed-loop motors or as a servo motor milling machine. The absolutely torsion-resistant, fully welded, and several millimeters thick steel frame with many additional braces creates an almost torsion-free construction.

This universal professional portal milling machine, built with stability in mind, forms the link between our small, precise High-Z CNC milling machine and the large RaptorX-SL XXL CNC router. Stable, precise, solidly built – top quality down to the last detail.

Best Choice for Sheet Materials

Milling wood, wood panels, chipboard, PVC sheets, other plastics, and various non-ferrous metals can be carried out just as precisely with this machine as text engraving. The loading aid, consisting of ball rollers on one side of the machine, makes it easier to insert large sheets of material, for example.

Ball Screw for Significant Ease of Maintenance

The ball screw drive on the Z-axis of the portal milling machine impresses as another advantage with significant ease of maintenance. The Z-axis is equipped as standard with a ball screw spindle measuring 25 mm with a pitch of 5 mm. With central lubrication, you have the option of manually or automatically oiling the spindle.

High-Quality Components and Protective Bellows

Helical racks, HIWIN / THK / PMI linear guides and carriages protected by bellows on all long axes, and the massive steel frame make this portal mill a reliable and durable CNC machine. In addition to industrial sheet processing, the T-Rex portal milling machine is suitable for many other 2D, 2.5D, and 3D applications. The cabling is also safely housed inside closed energy chains.

Performance Increase Through Rack-and-Pinion Drive

Another advantage, especially for large systems, is the absence of inert mass. Inert mass, such as a heavy ball screw, must first be set in motion by the drive motor, which reduces performance. This drawback is completely eliminated with the rack-and-pinion drive.

Optional Z-Axis Travel of 300 mm or 400 mm

The T-Rex portal milling machine can also be configured in terms of travel and clearance height according to your specific needs. Standard travel is 300 mm with a clearance of 200 mm. Optionally, we offer 400 mm travel with a clearance of 300 mm. In our detailed consultation, we work with you to determine your exact requirements to ensure 100% that working with your new portal mill is economical and flexible.

Massive Construction for Vibration Damping

The newly designed heavy machine bed of the T-Rex series efficiently counteracts the difficult issue of vibration damping. We deliberately use components with oversized wall thicknesses, usually only found in stone-processing machines. This results in up to 18% higher dissipation of vibrations into the machine bed, vibrations that would otherwise lead to poor surface finishes.

Many Possibilities Thanks to High Stability

Massive components, precisely matched parts, and a robust steel frame allow CNC users to machine countless materials. Some customers even machine marble, soapstone, and slate with this machine!

Wide Range of Sizes – Custom Versions Up to 2,600 x 8,000 mm

Ex-works, we offer the T-Rex CNC portal milling machine in 10 different sizes. Thanks to the helical racks used, we also have the option of offering custom sizes, for example up to 2,600 x 8,000 mm. These custom CNC systems are tailored to your production needs in terms of size and performance. Simply request by email.

Fast Travel Speeds – Up to 32,000 mm per Minute

With rapid speeds of up to approx. 15,000 mm/min with the closed-loop version and up to approx. 32,000 mm/min with the servo version, this machine type is efficient for milling, engraving, and cutting work in trade and industry.

Closed-Loop or Servo CNC Router with HF Spindle and Automatic Tool Changer

Our T-Rex CNC portal milling machines with closed-loop motors or servo motors are each available in 10 different sizes and are individually configurable. You can choose between air-cooled or water-cooled high-frequency spindles, with or without an automatic tool change system. We offer tool change stations with 4 to 12 tool holders, depending on machine size. The travel remains unchanged by these options.

If you decide to retrofit an automatic tool changer later, this is possible but will reduce travel length.

Servo Motor Router with Precision Racks and Planetary Gears

On the servo version of the T-Rex, the X- and Y-axes use helical racks with gears. This design allows faster travel speeds, as higher torque can be transmitted. In addition, there are no vibrations like those found with long ball screws.

High-Frequency Spindles from Hiteco, HSD, Spinogy, and Others

Depending on your application, different HF spindles can be selected. For example:

1.0 kW ER20
3.5 kW ER25
6.0 kW ER32
Hiteco spindle with 4.0 kW or 6.6 kW and SK30/ISO30 tool holder

Automatic Central Lubrication Included

Automatic central lubrication is a standard feature on T-Rex machines, making work easier and saving personnel costs while ensuring efficient use of lubricants. Intervals can be programmed, so no repeated checks are necessary.

Zone Vacuum Table – Standard Equipment

The working surface of the portal milling machine can be customized according to your needs. As standard, the T-Rex comes with a zone vacuum table with T-slot rails. Alternatively, a full T-slot clamping option is available.

You can also combine both – for example, one half with T-slot plates and the other with vacuum table. Depending on the application, the appropriate clamping method is used.

Optional accessories include an oil-free vacuum pump or side channel blower. Each vacuum table zone can be switched on/off individually via levers or optionally via a front control panel. Depending on machine size, vacuum pumps from 2.2 kW to 7.5 kW are available.

Manual or Pneumatic Dust Extraction

The optional dust extraction shoe can be manually adjusted or pneumatically controlled and keeps the work surface clean. Pneumatic control is handled directly via the KinetiC-NC software, allowing the shoe to lower or lift automatically. A surrounding brush strip adapts to any workpiece shape. The hose connects to your existing vacuum system; optional extraction units are also available. This saves significant cleaning time after machining.

Protective Bellows and Energy Chains

Bellows protect the linear guides, carriages, and racks on the X- and Y-axes, while the massive steel frame ensures durability. Closed energy chains keep cables tidy and safe from external influences.

Ergonomic Control Terminal with Full HD Monitor and PC

Every T-Rex machine comes with an ergonomic control terminal with a Full HD monitor and PC. The included wireless keyboard and mouse allow you to work comfortably at standing height. The angled design ensures the screen is easily visible.

Smooth and Powerful Performance

An Intel® processor, ample RAM, and a large SSD ensure smooth, fast, and powerful operation of the KinetiC-NC control software. Windows (German or English) comes preinstalled.

Information about Gantry Milling Machines

Portal milling machine structure Functionality

When you take a closer look at the topic of CNC and the milling machines associated with it, you will frequently come across the term gantry milling machine (in German: Portalfräsmaschine), or simply gantry mill or wood router. This gives us reason to answer some common questions about gantry milling machines:

What is a gantry milling machine?
What is a gantry milling machine used for?
Which software is suitable for working with a gantry milling machine?
and
Which points are important when buying a gantry milling machine?

Design of a Gantry Milling Machine

As the name suggests, a gantry milling machine refers to a specific type of milling machine design. In this case, the X-axis (bridge) represents the width of the machine, the Y-axis represents the length, and the Z-axis is the vertical axis. Together, these form what is known as a gantry. Some gantry milling machines or wood routers feature multiple milling heads on the Z-axis, in addition to the milling head on the X-bridge, allowing simultaneous processing of different sides in a single step.

The workpiece to be machined is either clamped onto a movable work table that moves within the gantry according to the desired cutting path, or onto a stationary work table that is traversed by the gantry machine carriage. The animation clearly illustrates what characterizes gantry design and how it is typically constructed.

In some machines, the bridge is moved along the X-axis by a centrally positioned ball screw spindle located beneath the table. Other machines, such as our High-Z CNC router, operate with two motors mounted on the X-axis, ensuring evenly distributed tensile and compressive forces on both the right and left sides of the X-axis.

What is a CNC Gantry Milling Machine / Gantry Router Used For?

Gantry milling machines are widely used in the woodworking, plastics processing, and metalworking industries. Their stable design results in reduced vibrations and therefore high precision in machining.

For this reason, smaller gantry machines are also popular for engraving, surface machining, and creating 3D shapes in wood, plastic, marble, granite, stone, and metal. They can also be used for dispensing applications, plasma cutting, CNC welding, and even waterjet cutting.

The range of applications is broad, extending from woodworking, plastics and metal industries, to hobby model building, the food industry, architects, and advertising agencies.

Thanks to the wide variety of interchangeable tools and the usually easy-to-learn software applications, gantry milling machines are increasingly attracting hobbyists and newcomers to CNC technology.

Which Software is Suitable for Working with a CNC Gantry Milling Machine?

Like all milling machines, a CNC gantry mill operates with so-called control software. What was once done manually with drawing paper and pencil is now handled with far less effort on a computer.

Thanks to modern CAD/CAM software—CAD meaning computer-aided design and CAM meaning computer-aided manufacturing—it is possible to transfer almost any shape, whether 2D, 2.5D, or 3D, to the machine as data sets, usually in the form of DIN ISO G-codes. The machine then processes these data step by step until the workpiece has been machined according to your specifications.

When it comes to selecting the right control software, a knowledgeable salesperson should provide advice. The same principle applies here:

The better all components are coordinated, the more powerful and precise the gantry milling machine will work!

When buying a gantry milling machine, it is advisable to turn to a manufacturer or vendor that also offers free support after the purchase. This ensures that any initial difficulties in learning the software are handled professionally, without incurring additional high costs. This makes getting started significantly easier and more affordable.

Which Points Are Important When Buying a Gantry Milling Machine?

The following questions should be considered before purchasing a gantry mill:

Which material with what hardness do I want to machine in relation to the milling motor power? Hard or soft? Heat-sensitive?

What are the maximum dimensions of my workpieces in relation to the size of the desired machine?

What quantities do I want to produce in one machining cycle?

How well do the characteristics of my chosen gantry mill match the requirements of my workpieces?

Am I receiving good professional advice?

Will I also get expert support after purchase, possibly even free of charge?

The more precisely you define the requirements of the machine before purchase, the better a competent salesperson can recommend the right machine, and the more accurate the milling results will be. A qualified company will always have a trained technician available to assist you
