Cabin Fever 2008:

January 18-20, Cabin Fever Model Engineering Exhibition.  York, PA, USA
Auction on Friday, Model Engines on Display Friday through Sunday.  Purchase items from our catalog and get free shipping for those picked up at the show.  We will have 4 demo machines (available at 10% off catalog prices) that may be picked up on Sunday afternoon.

We have been busy lining up new products and improving those already in our catalog.  

Advance product news (check out these items at Cabin Fever):

  1. Stand alone machine operation with complete run from SD card memory.  No computer required.  This option will be released just after the first of the year on all ncPOD systems.
  2. Digital readout-All IMService servo systems past and present, will be able to use this plug and play device.  It is a permanent position readout for 4 axes. The device has a USB interface that will permit initializing of controller software and basic setup operations.  Crash the computer, fault the servos, lose power, and the readout will still track the machine position.  .0001 display resolution. Estimated price under $400.
  3. 6-axis servo controller systems in industrial consolette enclosure.
  4. X2-Mini-mill servo retrofit kits with precision lead screws, thrust bearings and zero backlash lead nuts.

Recent and forthcoming additions include:

  1. Carbide end mills, USA, single or double end, flat or ball end, 2 or 4 flute
  2. Whiteside Router bits various sizes and shapes with 1/4 shank
  3. Engraving and specialized profiling cutters 1/8 and 1/4 shank
  4. New 300va made in USA transformer 115/230 primary 20/40 secondary

  7. Mach3, Lazycam, Sheetcam, and Alibre cad-cam software options
  8. New router spindle speed controller

Servo controlled Routers:

Our new 12 x 24 x 4 CNC router.  This machine builds on the technology of our 12 x 12 x 4 machines.  The new machines have twice the capacity and run at speeds up to 350 inches per minute.  The entire framework has been strengthened and stabilized. The addition of mic-6 (flat ground aluminum) frame components and improved machining accuracy has enhanced the machine performance, improved the assembly process  and maintained the low weight to cutting envelope of the smaller model.  Now Shipping!
