XL Dual Gantry

The C.R. Onsrud G-Series is an industrial 3-Axis CNC moving gantry machine equipped for large, high-volume, continuous panel and sheet processing and nested operations. It easily handles full sheets of plywood, solid wood, laminates, aluminum plate, and plastics at rapid feed rates while operating under continuous duty conditions. The flexibility, production capabilities, and lower price point of the G-Series yield a large table-size-to-cost ratio for an exceptional R.O.I.

SAFE, EFFICIENT PRODUCTION WITH PENDULUM PROCESSING

With two zones on the G-Series, you can safely load material in one zone while performing machining operations in the other. Then, when the gantry switches zones to process the newly loaded material, you safely remove parts from the other. This technique is known as Pendulum Processing, and it keeps your production continuously flowing.

READ ABOUT AUTOMATION SYSTEMS FOR THE G-SERIES

Integrate C.R. Onsrud’s automated material-handling systems that fit the flow of your production. With customized linear and cell-based solutions, you get as much or as little automation as you need, from simple loading/offloading with or without pre-labeling to fully automated material storage and retrieval systems with integrated routers and saws. See also Automation for more information.

INCREASE PRODUCTIVITY WITH ADDITIONAL SPINDLES

Add a second, third, or fourth spindle to double, triple, or quadruple your production by performing machining operations simultaneously on the same machine. For larger parts, park one spindle to have access to the entire table. The G-Series supports up to 4 spindles.

HIGH THROUGHPUT AND VERSATILITY WITH DUAL GANTRY

A second gantry gives you the versatility equivalent to having another machine without the need for extra floor space. It provides the flexibility to produce nested or similar parts in tandem, or park one of the gantries and let the other continuously machine large parts end to end.

ACCESSORIES

Customize the G-Series with accessories. Here you’ll find ways to increase your productivity by adding a 4th axis to a 3-axis machine; select your tool lubrication; eliminate measuring errors with automatic tool measurement systems; and more.

C-AXIS

With a C-Axis (aka 4th axis), you can machine at an angle, including on the sides of your material, to create complex contours (such as helixes), otherwise not possible with a 3-axis machine. This comes standard on a 5-axis machine.

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

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.

Directional air blast blows air on the tooltip to aid in removing debris and cool tools. The direction of air changes relative to the path of the machine. It can be turned on/off via M-Code.

Precisely measures the length of your tool and automatically feeds that value into your CNC machine controls.

Precisely measures the length and diameter of your tool and automatically feeds that value into your CNC machine controls. It also detects if a tool is broken.

Precisely measures the length and diameter of your tool, without contact, and automatically feeds that value into your CNC machine controls. It also detects if a tool is broken. NC4 is application dependent; table constraints may apply.

Automatically greases your tools, bearings, and ball screws at regular intervals.

Drip pans (a.k.a. trays) catch excess lubrication that might otherwise cause contamination or other hazards.

With volumetric laser compensation, machining tools are automatically calibrated and the machine makes any necessary adjustments.

Note: Depending on your machine, C.R. Onsrud sends out a third-party A2LA-accredited company to your facility to perform volumetric compensation.

DUST / CHIP MANAGEMENT

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.

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.

With CR Onsrud’s innovative servo-positioned dust hood, we have improved upon the standard 2-position dust hood and given the CNC machine the ability to automatically adjust the dust hood’s height offset based on tool length, relative to the workpiece. This helps customers, who machine with a variety of tool lengths, get the most effective dust collection regardless of the tool length.

Designed for low ceilings and shop floors with layout constraints, a dust collection stanchion kit transitions dust to your collector from either side of the machine.

A floating duct reduces the drag of vacuum hoses and ductwork on long travel machines and moves the hoses out of the way of overhead cranes and forklift loaders. See this video to see how.

The dust trough system uses air from your vacuum to safely pull dust and debris away from the underside of the cutting area. It is engineered for 5′ wide machines and needs to be manually cleaned or integrated with a dust collection system.

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.

Engineered especially for fine or coarse chips (e.g., hard composites, fiber cement, metal, etc.), programmable air knives clear harmful debris from your linear guides.

Safety curtains set an invisible barrier that triggers your machine’s E-Stop when crossed.

A gantry shroud encloses the gantry to prevent unexpected objects (i.e., a broken part or tool) from discharging into adjacent work areas.

The gantry enclosure surrounds the gantry to protect you from potentially dangerous routing components and operations as well as the dust and debris caused by routing.

ZONE SENSING

The Onsrud Laser Safety Scanner sets an invisible barrier that triggers your machine’s E-Stop when crossed.

Sensing mats sense the pressure of an operator or object on them, alerting the machine to turn off.

AUTOMATION

Automated material-handling systems fit the flow of your production to make manufacturing processes more efficient and safe.

Using suction technology, the vacuum lift is a portable system that enables a single operator to safely and automatically load heavy materials.

Automatically reloads the scissor lift with another bunk of material prior to the first bunk running out. Since your material load is always stocked, you never have to synchronize your forklift timing or stop production.

With a half bunk loader (a.k.a. “scissor lift”) system, your machine picks up one sheet from a stack, places it into position, and then adjusts its height to prepare for the next sheet.

With a full bunk loader (a.k.a. “scissor lift”) system, your machine picks up one sheet from a full stack, places it into position, and then adjusts its height to prepare for the next sheet.

The pusher automatically clears the machining area by moving parts to an offload table while the sweeper sucks up any additional dust and debris.

See pusher sweeper vs. manual offload system time trial.

A static outfeed table provides a work area for sorting and stacking parts without interrupting the machining operations.

Safely and automatically moves parts (e.g., heavy and bulky ones) down your machine’s production line for easy off-loading.

Pre- or post-affix removable labels to parts for tracking, identification, or to provide descriptive details. (Most common for cabinets and sheet goods).

Applies marks (e.g., alpha-numeric), without contact, for part tracking. Marks can be permanent or removed based on how porous the material is.

Applies one or multiple colored paint for layout lines and shapes/symbols needed downstream (e.g., hot/cold water lines, nail locations, wiring, etc.) (Commonly used in the prefab home industry).

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.

Scan a barcode (machine-readable data) from a document and the machine automatically retrieves the specified program, tooling list, and set-up directions for that job.

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.

TOOLING

Onsrud Tooling offers a direct and convenient solution for purchasing top-quality cutting tools at competitive prices tailored to your Onsrud machine. Our extensive selection includes Drill Blocks, supporting simultaneous machining of evenly spaced holes with varying diameters. Additionally, explore our Aggregates, enhancing your 3-axis machine’s versatility to handle various angles and utilize thousands of specialty tools for unique projects (note: not all aggregates are compatible with every machine configuration; we recommend consulting our team for tailored recommendations). For intricate notches, miter cuts, and straight cuts on up to five sides of your material, our Saw Blades attach seamlessly to CNC machines, offering flexibility for both 5-axis and 3-axis configurations when paired with an aggregate. Unsure of your requirements? Our knowledgeable staff is here to assist you in finding the perfect tooling solutions for your needs.

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

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

Rapidly drills 13 holes, simultaneously, evenly spaced with the same or varying diameters.

Rapidly drills 14 holes, simultaneously, evenly spaced with the same or varying diameters.

Rapidly drills 18 holes, simultaneously, evenly spaced with the same or varying diameters.

Rapidly drills 24 holes, simultaneously, evenly spaced with the same or varying diameters.

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.

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

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

With a Quad 90° head, you’ll easily add lateral machining operations to your 3-axis machine using four tools in each direction.

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.

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

Mill, plane, carve, and bevel, symmetrical and asymmetrical shapes on a 3-axis machine, with the addition of a moulder head aggregate.

Cut out sharp corners and radii from flexible materials, such as packaging foam, tool foam, plastic, or cardboard with an oscillating knife aggregate.

The spindle automatically picks up and returns small diameter saw blades (up to 6″) from the station that is mounted on the machine’s bridge or column.

Note: (Requires a 5-axis machine unless an aggregate is utilized)

With a dedicated aggregate station, you can automatically store and retrieve specialty tools (such as saw blades) that are too large or heavy to fit in a standard automatic tool changer.

WORK HOLDING & POSITIONING

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.

With custom vacuum zones, you tailor the size and location of vacuum areas for part-holding and can shut off sections of the table to concentrate vacuum to specific zones.

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.

Custom fixturing is adapted to hold irregularly shaped parts or panels that cannot be held by traditional methods.

The channels of T-Slot tables are used for linear positioning of clamps and vices across the surface of the machine’s table.

A pod & rail system directs vacuum through the pods for strong part-holding as well as raises parts for boring holes or cutting into the side of a part. It can also serve as a flat table.

With a rotary axis lathe or chuck, your machine operates as a turning center with live tuning. It rotates bar stock and long and skinny components to create chair legs, columns, etc.

Roller hold-down uses rollers to apply pressure to the top of your material for additional hold and flattening of stacked, warped, or porous materials.

Note: This option is common for plywood processing, foam panel processing, and composite sheet processing.

Reference pins are for quick, reliable, and repeatable placement of your workpieces on your CNC machine.

A surface probe or part finder helps your machine accurately identify the position of your material on your worktable.

A part-probing system adjusts the origin of your part prior to machining, performs in-process QC for tight tolerance applications, and performs post-machining QC to approve or reject a part before it is taken out of its work holding.

Without touching the material, a Laser Pattern Projection Alignment System provides true to scale patterns of one or several aligned or nested objects, transferred from CAD software onto the CNC table.

Note: This option is common for high-mix shops and when using vacuum pods.

A fiducial vision recognition system scans for reference points to identify a sheet’s position. The program and tool paths automatically adjust to the position.

Note: This option is common in the signmaking industry where sheets are otherwise difficult to align perfectly.

Quickly restart (resume) paused programs and prepare (ready) the machine to start immediately after a process is complete.

Comes standard on the 3-Axis E-Series.
