Some options are only available with three-phase electrical power. Please discuss with your sales representative for further details.
You can customize your A-Series with the following accessories.

AIR BLAST
Bursts of air keep tools cool and remove debris and chips from the cut without the need for coolant.

MQL
Primarily used for metals, Minimum Quantity Lubrication (MQL) dispenses only the amount of lubricant needed for your specific operation to keep tools cool and improve cut quality.

ATLM SYSTEM (METROL)
Precisely measures the length of your tool and automatically feeds that value into your CNC machine controls.
Dust management systems connected to appropriate dust collection systems capture chips, dust, and other airborne particles that would otherwise be harmful to humans and the machining environment. We offer dust management systems that are geared toward the materials you’re machining and your production environment.

DUST HOOD
Targeted to the machining area, a dust hood suctions away dust and debris that can impact your health as well as the performance of your CNC machine.
Note: Due to the range of motion required for 5-axis machines, a machine enclosure is recommended over a dust hood.
Automated material-handling systems fit the flow of your production to make manufacturing processes more efficient and safe.

STANDALONE LABEL PRINTER
This auxiliary equipment can create and affix labels to parts for tracking and identifying parts for use in downstream operations or at the job site.

ROBOTICS INTEGRATION
Devices are strategically incorporated into your production to automatically perform repetitive tasks, so you and your team can focus on projects that grow your business.
Onsrud Tooling is a direct and easy way to buy high-quality cutting tools at great prices for your Onsrud machine.
Drill Blocks: Drill Blocks support the simultaneous machining of a set number of holes, evenly spaced with the same or varying diameters.
Aggregates: Aggregates give your 3-axis machine the capability of machining at various angles and the use of 1000’s of specialty tools to perform specialized functions for unique projects. Not all aggregates work with every machine configuration. We recommend discussing your specific application requirements with our team.
Not sure what you need? We’ve got you covered, our knowledgeable staff is on hand to help with your tooling needs.

4 SPINDLE DRILL BLOCK
Rapidly drills 4 holes, simultaneously, evenly spaced with the same or varying diameters.

9 SPINDLE DRILL BLOCK
Rapidly drills 9 holes, simultaneously, evenly spaced with the same or varying diameters.

AGGREGATE RING
The Aggregate Anti-Rotational Retention Ring mounts to the underside of the spindle, giving it the capability to pick up specialized tooling from the Automatic Tool Changer and preventing the aggregate head from rotating during machining.

90° HEAD
A 90° head gives you the capability to perform lateral machining operations on a 3-axis machine.

DUO 90° HEAD
A Duo 90° head gives you the capability to perform lateral machining operations using different tools in opposite directions on a 3-axis machine.

ADJUSTABLE ANGLE
An adjustable angle head allows you to set the angle at which you want to cut, for up to 5-sided machining on a 3-axis machine.

FLEX ANGLE
With a flex angle head, you can perform horizontal and angular machining operations on a 3-axis machine without having to reposition your workpiece.

OSCILLATING KNIFE
Cut out sharp corners and radii from flexible materials, such as packaging foam, tool foam, plastic, or cardboard with an oscillating knife aggregate.
These devices accurately locate your workpiece in orientation to the table and the tooling. To properly secure your workpieces, it is important to have the correct work-holding device for the material you are cutting. Proper work holding and material positioning ensure precise and efficient machining.

ONSRUD MATRIX GRID TABLE
The Onsrud grid table provides a grid pattern for multiple part-holding options, such as gasketing, vacuum pods, clamps, etc. and is compatible with most third-party products.

REFERENCE (POP-UP) PINS
Reference pins are for quick, reliable, and repeatable placement of your workpieces on your CNC machine.
