FAB - Meet your large format CNC machine

Steel structure driven by high-torque motors

The FAB has a strong and rigid structure, with 8 & 10mm steel plates and aluminium profiles (30x60mm & 60x60mm).

Its modular design means that you will be able to bring it through the front door of your workshop.

Its high-precision rack and pinion system on the Y-axis, its ball screws on the X- and Z-axis, and its prismatic rails allow it to remain accurate over long distances, even at high speeds.

The Z-axis has a high clearance of 133mm, to comfortably work with thicker materials.

Precise and speedy CNC panel milling

This machine is specially designed for people who want to work with standard panels of all kinds, and create stairs, cabinets, surfboards and more.

The FAB can reliably mill a variety of materials at high speed.

Typical cutting parameters (soft wood):

- Feedrate: 7000 mm/min

- Depth of cut: 5 mm

- Spindle speed: 20,000 rpm

- Carbide cutter 3 flute 6 mmm

FAB CNC machine - Plug and play computer

Plug-and-play onboarded computer

As opposed to many CNC milling machines on the market, the FAB comes with its own onboarded computer (Raspberry Pi 4B - 2 Gb RAM).

That means that you don't have to dedicate a computer to the running of the machine, or worry about the impact of dust on its performance and longevity.

The electronic control units are plug and play, assembled and tested in our workshop, in Brussels.

Every Mekanika CNC milling machine comes with PlanetCNC Mk3/4.

At least an affordable professional CNC machine!

The FAB CNC machine has everything of a great machine except the price.

Its reliable design and large 1300x2700mm format will enable you to boost your production at a contained price.

Price still an issue for you?

Take a look at our leasing offer to get you off to a good start!

In the past, we were outsourcing a lot of our production, so bringing new products on the market was a very long and expensive process.

The FAB CNC machine allows us to speed up that process, we can test new experiments every day but also save a lot of money! (...) the machine paid itself back in less than a year.
