Touch Screen
Touch Screen, open architecture, Windowstm interface option, works seamlessly with ALL major CAD/CAM or “cabinet software” that generates standard machine ‘G’-code.

“RISC” Processor
All C.R. Onsrud CNC Routers are offered as standard with our 6-axis high speed “RISC” processor, digital machine controls. Our standard control has a remote hand-pad with “Graphics” display that controls all machine functions from any position around the machine that the “umbilical” will reach! Wireless solutions are also available!

12-Position Rotary Tool Changer
Standard 12-position rotary tool changer offers the ultimate in tooling flexibility. The tool carousel is always accessible to the operator to check or change tools while your router continues to make money. With our high traverse speeds we can return the spindle to the tool carousel in less time than the spindle rotation can be stopped. Therefore there is no advantage in carrying the tool carousel around with the spindle.

Shielded Cables
Onsrud uses only the highest-quality shielded electrical cables, designed for the constant flexing of cable-carriers, providing many years of trouble-free, continuous, multi-shift production. Virtually all components are user-changeable with quick disconnects.

Massive Cast Iron Construction
Cast iron is more expensive to buy and machine, but it provides up to ten times the damping capacity of steel. That’s why Onsrud uses cast iron for all major components that support the cutting spindle. Our castings are internally reinforced with heavy ribs to resist flex and damp vibrations, and every one is thoroughly inspected prior to machining to ensure it is free of flaws.

Wide-Stance one-piece Base
Our base is machined in one piece (after being stress relieved) to insure machined-in accuracy.

Get out your tape measure and check the distance between leveling bolts. Measure the width of the column and the depth of the saddle. Now look inside the castings for the heavy-duty, anti-flex, vibration-absorbing ribs that Onsrud adds. Now go measure the competition – and you’ll find they just don’t measure up to an Onsrud.

Fast, Reliable Electronic Tool Changer
Our unique tool changer allows the operator to inspect or even change any of the tools in the 12-position tool carousel while the machine continues to cut your material. Some of our competition will tell you it is faster to carry the weight and mass of the tool carousel with the spindle. Not so. With our faster acceleration and deceleration we can move the spindle back to our outboard tool carousel in less time than you can stop the spindle rotation! Our competitor’s machines, which carry the tool carousel with the spindle, only prevent your operator from checking tools without stopping production, and increase your maintenance costs by subjecting the tool changer mechanism to the harsh environment inside the cutting envelope. With minimal moving parts, the umbrella-style tool changer offers smooth, reliable action and long life. This feature is not found on competing products.

Efficient Design
When you look at the Onsrud router, you’ll find more uncluttered room than any machine in its class. There’s plenty of room for chips, with no hidden pockets or loose cables for them to build up in. The optional chip conveyor conveniently discharges them from the side of the machine.

Vibration absorbing, non-conductive, phenolic machine tables or more traditional aluminum tables are available on all models.

High-Speed Brushless Motors
Brushless motors are superior to brush motors in three distinct ways. First, standard brush motors are limited in voltage and current values because of commutator limits. The brushless motor can utilize twice the voltage and current, which means higher speeds, faster acceleration and greater power.
Second, brush motors generate brush dust, which can lead to internal shorts and accelerated brush wear. They also require periodic maintenance to clean and replace the brushes. Our brushless motors have no such problems.
Finally, on a brush motor, the armature, which contains the heat-producing windings, dissipates heat very slowly through the thick, permanent-magnet outer shell, dramatically shortening motor life. As a result, current potential must be limited to prevent burnout. With brushless motors, the heat-producing windings are attached to the outer shell of the motor, allowing heat to dissipate directly to the surrounding air, resulting in a higher duty rating from a more compact housing.

Double-Anchored Ballscrews
Onsrud uses only premium-quality STAR ballscrews. Our ballscrews are anchored at both ends and inspected for 100% parallelism to the axis guides. Pre-loaded ball nuts are used to eliminate backlash.

Hardened-Steel Bearing Packs
Onsrud uses THK hardened-steel bearing packs rolling on hardened-steel profile ways for each axis of every router. Built using the same precision grinding technology utilized in bearing manufacturing, these bearing packs feature zero clearance and full load-carrying capacity in all directions. They consume less power, do not require any adjustment and are proven to outperform sliding box ways for accuracy and speed. Profile Ways are used by every “high-end” machine tool builder today.

High-Capacity Cartridge Spindle
The advanced, four-bearing spindle design used for our HSK-63-F taper spindles provides high radial thrust capability, yet generates minimal heat. We accomplish this by finishing the front and rear bores of the housing and grinding the OD of the spindle in one operation. This guarantees perfect alignment between bores and ODs, thus reducing bearing heat.

Additionally, the two forward 50 mm angular contact bearings are separated by a 10 mm spacer to enhance radial stability – enabling heavy cuts. To ensure long life, the spindle is pressurized with air to prevent contamination.

Powerful 12 to 40 Horsepower Spindle Drives
These top of the line drives allow you to push the spindle to 150 percent of the motor’s continuous horsepower for a full minute. That’s more performance headroom than any other drive on the market.

Although our premium components are more expensive than our competitors’, the use of premium componentry is the only way to achieve the high accuracy and long life that our customers demand.
