Fabertec M2 CNC Router 

1325 / 1530 / 2030

For the most demanding professionals where 10-12 hours shifts may be a everyday norm the FABERTEC M2 CNC CENTRE ROUTER is a perfect solution. Designed to withstand the challenging tasks, different materials, solid timber, composite panels and any other timber and plastic based products. Fitted as standard with HQD 9kW (12hp) air cooled spindle together with heavy 8-10mm steel structure fully welded, stress relieved and all surfaces for runners/linear bearings cnc milled to keep all axis perfect. It can cut through thick boards in one pass like a butter.

All M2 cnc router machines are fitted with Automatic Tool Changer ATC with 12 tools at disposal in the carousel type storage. Located close to spindle is the quickest position for cnc to change tools. Of course all tool holders, starting bits and collets are included in the package so you can start your projects from day one. Vacuum table with T slot clamps with air cooled 7.5kW vacuum pump installed as standard. For more demanding cuts with smaller elements or if you will choose bigger table we strongly recommend to upgrade to 11kW KVE360 vacuum pump which will be much more efficient.

Maximize Efficiency and Precision with the Fabertec M2 CNC Router along with Automatic Tool Changer and servo motors

As in our FABERTEC M1 model the M2 also is fitted with FULL SERVO MOTORS with feedback to controllers. We believe that if you investing in CNC Router machine £15-30k it should have servo motors not stepper or hybrid stepper motors. Servo motors will provide you with much better speeds, higher accuracy, parts longevity and more efficient cooperation of motors with controller due to information loop. FABERTEC M2 CNC router comes as a ready to operate package with vacuum pump, 5.5kW double bag dust extractor, all necessary tooling, Vcarve Pro CAD/CAM software, warranty and our support.

All FABERTEC machines are designed in UK with fabricators in mind. Even if we using latest engineering solutions without breaking a bank we still think in terms of who will be using our machines and how quickly he/she can start to operate them. We believe in clever simplicity, easiness of operation and minimum maintenance required. We also supply our Clients with FUSION 360 postprocessor which will allow you to directly create G-code files for processing on CNC.

NARROW WORKSHOP ENTRANCE?  NOT A PROBLEM FOR FABERTEC

We strive to accommodate our clients, though sometimes the situation may not be ideal.

 For the Fabertec M1 and M2 2030 CNC center routers:

  • After removing the gantry, the minimum dimensions required for the table are 232 cm in width and 225 cm in height.
  • With the gantry assembled, the minimum required dimensions are 280 cm in width and 225 cm in height, without the servo motors and covers on those two models.

An additional charge will apply, as the machines from Fabertec HQ arrive fully tested and assembled. Therefore, reassembly is required on-site, often necessitating the deployment of additional engineers.

Here’s a recent experience we had with one of our clients.

We recently had a client in Bradford who showed an interest in our M2 2030 CNC router machine. However, the main challenge we had was the narrow passage to their workshop, which made it hard to get the machine inside. So, the Fabertec team designed and welded 2 metal vertical frames; one for the bed and another one for the gantry to be able to move parts safely through a narrow entrance to the Client's workshop. Led by Charles, the team of Fabertec engineers safely moved the disassembled CNC into its final resting place. The rest of the day was well spent on assembly and the following day M2 2030 was fully assembled and ready for training. After a few hours, the team at Carlise was cutting their designs fully confident in drawing and creating G-Code files. With Fabertec we design machines with the Client in mind - there is no need for PHD or Engineering degree to use our cnc's.

Here at FABERTEC, we are not shy from the challenge and we are making sure you have the means to cut quickly, safely, and accurately.

Some of the important features of the M2 CNC Centre Router

The vacuum bed is one of the most important feature of the cnc routers. By applying vacuum underneath the final material your board is held in place hence you don't have to use any clamps, screws or other means to keep it in place. Just press a button and you can process your material in no time knowing it will not move even a millimetre. The vacuum pumps supplied by us are always air cooled. ​The cheapest ones are water cooled and operator has to remember to keep the tank full, use antifreezers in winter, make sure no liquid is left in system during winter if antifreeze not used.
Servo motors are best motors available on the market for the CNC (and other) machines. ​A great number of CNC machines are supplied only with stepper or hybrid servo motors. The main difference between SERVOs and other motors is that they have a feedback loop to driver and position decoder. It means that driver always knows the “position” of the servo motor, if it missed any routing step, if there is too much tension on the motor etc. ​That allows driver to counteract or inform of any challenges during the processing. Also servo motors are much more durable and quicker than stepper or hybrid stepper motors so your work will be done in no time compared to cheaper solutions.
ALWAYS AIR COOLED (Except if very high kW used by Italian HSD) Industrial 9kW spindles which are air cooled are the most efficient solution in cnc routers. They allow for reliable work being controlled by designated inventer which will always apply required revolutions per minute down to operator specification or cutting bits used.
The lubrication oil for all guides/runners is located in automatic pump tank. After a set amount of minutes it will lubricate all guides and runners. By working with machines with manual lubrication we know it was a huge waste of time ​of the operator hence this option was added ​as standard.
We know that sometimes getting into cnc routing may be daunting and bit over the head. That's why we decided to use Syntec controllers to ease the pain of learning on your new machine. As this controller is really easy to learn, all data is clearly displayed on large screen and operations are very intuitive we never had a Clients who wouldn't cut their own products in 2-3h of training. When you add MPG Manual Pulse Generator handheld wheel where you can have full control of any motion movements on cnc as long as you turn the wheel - the work on FABERTEC M2 is simply a walk in the park without any stress.
By installing extra physical emergency sensors at the end of the axis we wanted to be sure that no operator can cause a serious damage even if great mistake will be made. We set software machine travel limits in controllers to stop machine if the coordinates are wrongly programmes but with high speeds the heavy gantry can still move by a few milometers during rapid movements. That's why we also installing physical limiters to switch off any servo movement in case spindle/gantry will pass their working limit. This will ensure no physical damage to steelwork on the machine.
Hiwin trapezoidal runners are the guides on which gantry and spindle is moving. The "beefier" they are the more stability, repeatability and durability of the machine your machine will have. As we prefer to overdesign our products the 30HG runners are designed for 6000kg kinetic load. Our gantry on M2 weights from 550kg to 700kg. As you can see you don't have to worry about any non designed "movement" on our structure by having almost 10x leeway in allowance for the weight.
If you planning on routing very high elements like laminated posts/timber, oak tables, assembled sections etc you can be sure our 300mm gap between gantry and table will leave you a plenty of space for long bits when doing for example deep tenons.
We believe in using just a little bit more steel and stiffeners than our competitors. That's why 10 or 12mm thick steel elements, 14mm thick steel sections to hold gantry or a full web of SHS beams are welded underneath the table to prevent any sagging in the future and losing flatness on your bed. We had a situations where Clients by mistake left a blank door on table during operations and FABERTEC M2 by pushing it against the wall made a hole in workshop blockwork. 20min to set the squareness and cnc was cutting fine. Also other case forklift hit our gantry at other Client site. One quick engineer visit and machine was working fine again without any structural damage. Those situations assured us that those extra steel used was a great decision as we really don't have to worry about durability of our machines.
As standard we install positioning bars on 2 edges of the table. They will make sure you will always lay down your board straight down the line. Also what's very important they will act as a perfect datum line when you will be processing double sided boards for example shaker style doors and your left side base needs to be fixed to flip the board and continue processing on other side.
