Notes concerning noise emission: Given that there exists a relationship between noise level and exposure times, it is not precise enough to determine the need for supplementary precautions. The factors affecting the true level of exposure to operators are clearly the amount of time exposed, the characteristics of working environment, other sources of dust and noise, etc. For example, adjacent machines may impact the level of ambient noise. It is also possible that exposure level limits will vary from country to country. Note: It is probable that your machine will be delivered by a third party....

Glossary of Terms Ball End Milling Cutter - A milling cutter that has a rounded cutting diameter at its end that is equal to the cutting diameter. DXF file - Drawing exchange format file that was created as a standard to freely exchange 2- and 3-dimensional drawings between different CAD programs. It basically represents a shape as a wire frame mesh of x, y, and z coordinates (vectors). Encoder - Typically an optical device that consists of a disk with 100 to 1000 holes on its periphery. The most common is the incremental encoder that has a small LED light source on one side of the disk with...

The IQ is designed to give you years of safe service. Read this owner’s manual in its entirety before assembly or use. The advantage of the IQ machine is that it can, in most cases, fully machine the complete job without it being removed from the table so that you have finished parts of high accuracy that are totally repeatable. It can, with the purchase of the relevant software, also produce intricate carvings. Nesting is also a valuable feature of IQ machining that saves on waste and cost. It is possible to reduce the number of different machines in the shop, as the IQ will perform multiple...

Router Spindle The router spindle is very high precision and water-cooled. The router spindle is moved in the three axes by precision ball screw system that are controlled by the machine controller. Frame The frame is a welded heavy steel tubular construction that supports all the other parts of the machine. Gantry The gantry straddles the bed and carries the router spindle motion system. It is moved along the length of the bed by the ball screw and is guided by the linear bearing rails. The gantry is controlled by the machine controller. Router spindle Linear bearing rails Electrical control...

Electrical cable Water pump The water pump provides coolant for the router spindle motor. Running the router spindle without the cooling pump running can lead to spindle bearing failure. The pipe connector is push fit and is used for connection of the spindle water pipe. The water pump is 110 v. Hand-held controller The hand held controller controls all the functions of the IQ. Pipe connector Water pump For assembly and use of the hand held controller see hand held controller manual. Electrical control box The electrical control box is attached to the machine by a flexible conduit and can be...

Additional instructions for the use of the IQ Like all machines, there is danger associated with the machine. Injury is frequently caused by lack of knowledge or familiarity. Use this machine with respect. If normal safety precautions are overlooked or ignored, serious personal injury may occur. As the IQ is under the control of the onboard machine controller, it is important that you are clear of the cutter and moving parts when operating the machine. Where to Locate Your Machine The IQ is table mounted (TABLE NOT SUPPLIED). The table must be of a robust construction, as the IQ is heavy and...
