IH Folks,
The time has come to move to a bigger/faster machine with a tool changer. So in order to make room for the bigger machine in my small shop, the IH CNC machine must go.
This machine has been up and running for 5 years now. Installed the kit myself with a great deal of help from Gene back in the day.
Since then it has gone through multiple upgrades to get it reliable enough to start an operation and walk away for 3-5 hours. In the past year, it has been used extensively for surfacing and prototyping very large time consuming jobs. It has worked better than I could have ever imagined and made me more money than I would have ever guessed. I have it to the point where I'll start an operation in the morning, monitor it via video camera while I'm at my real job. And remotely e-stop it when the part is finished hours later. I need something that can do automatic tool changes, so it's now time to upgrade.
Here's what comes with the machine:
IH square Mill fully converted with the IH kit
IH Stand - with a full plexiglass enclosure and custom metal enclosure stand (10' x 4')
Tormach TTS tooling (approximately 17 ER20 tool holders)
2 year old Win 7 computer with touch screen monitor for the controller and separate monitor for 3d software
Upgraded spindle motor (2 years old)
Controller box with Gecko 320x drives.
Smoothstepper
Upgraded Hall sensor limit and home switches
Fog buster coolant system controlled by cam software
XBox 360 controller for moving axis, zeroing and homing
Tool stand for measuring tools offline
Other small items and extra parts
This machine is setup to be VERY easy to start. Basically turn on the computer. Load the Mach3 software. Hit the button to reference the axis. Load the program. Hit Start. All tooling is indexible.
Has been used exclusively for Aluminum work.
There are no major issues with the machine. It is currently in operation and running great. Of course there are cosmetic things since it's been used for 5 years, but other than that it is in great shape. The plastic covers over the axis pullys are a little cracked, but I don't use flood coolant, so it's not a problem. They keep out the chips.
I thought it would be easier to just post a video of it running instead of pictures. You can find the video here:

This would be a plug and play machine. Plug everything in. Adjust Gibbs. Start cutting.
Cost: $11,700 for everything
Shipping: Customer pays for shipping from Rapid City, South Dakota- the enclosure could be expensive since the base is all metal and welded.
Availability: August 20, 2012 (Still currently in use)
