Compared to other 1″ offline controllers, our 1.8″ controller has the following three advantages: 1. No need to connect to a computer; 2. No need to download files. 3. Manually adjust the X, Y, Z-axis position to the starting point of engraving, and manually turn the spindle on or off.
• 【HIGH PERFORMANCE】- The 3018 pro comes with T8 screw rods driving units, three 42 stepper motors, and a 775 24V spindle motor with the rotational speed of 10000r/min.
• 【VERSATILE USE】- The CNC 3018 Pro is used for engraving all types of plastics, soft aluminum, woods, acrylics, PVC, PCB, etc. But the engraver is forbidden to cut or engrave hard metal, jade, or other hard materials.

Key Features

 

Durable Material

 

Made of aluminum and Bakelite material, the CNC 3018 Pro is of good appearance, high precision, and durability.

 

3 Refined Axis

 

Three axes can realize plane engraving, with an effective working area of 300(X)x180(Y)x45(Z)mm (11.8″x7.1″x1.8″). The driving units consist of T8 stainless steel screw rods.

 

GRBL Control Board

 

Can be connected to a computer via a USB interface. Able to output 2P/3P, and support PWM, TTL functions, which can achieve greater practicality. These two kinds of control panels are delivered at random, but does not affect the performance.

 

Offline Controller

 

A multifunctional offline controller is configured to control the engraving machine remotely. 1. Do not need to connect to a computer; 2. Do not need to download files. 3. Manually adjust the X, Y, Z-axis position to the starting point of engraving, and manually turn the spindle on or off.

 

Efficient Motors

Three 42 stepper motors are included on each of the three axes for smooth movement. The 775 24V spindle motor on Z-axis can reach the speed of 10000 r/min.

 

Wide Application

 

As the CNC 3018 pro, it’s capable of engraving or milling all types of plastics, soft aluminum, woods, acrylics, PVC, and a wide range of other soft materials.
