Industrial CNC Artisan 408 — price

Price estimate: uncertain

We have no price for the Industrial CNC Artisan 408 that we can cite and no estimate we can stand behind, so this page shows no number rather than a guess. A quote from Industrial CNC or an authorised dealer is the reliable figure.

What moves the final price

  • Spindle, control and probing options
  • Tool changer capacity and tooling package
  • Automation — pallet changers, bar feeders, robot cells
  • Freight, rigging, installation and training
  • Region, dealer and time of year

Overview

The Industrial CNC Artisan 408 is the full-sheet model of the Pro Series, a three-axis gantry router with a 48 x 96 x 12 in (1,219 x 2,438 x 305 mm) working area. That is one standard sheet of plywood, MDF or plastic with nothing to spare in X or Y, laid on a table of 60 x 110 in (1,524 x 2,794 mm). The frame is stress-annealed welded steel and the machine weighs 1,980 lb (898 kg) net.

Rapid speed is listed as 0-900 ipm (0-22.9 m/min). The gantry is driven on both sides by Nema 34 motors through gear-reduced rack and pinion; the Z axis uses a ball screw. Because the open bed can be loaded from the front and back, the 12 in (305 mm) of gantry clearance is usable for thick slabs, glued-up blanks and foam as well as sheet goods.

Spindle speed is variable to 24,000 rpm on a high-frequency liquid-cooled unit, and tools are held in ER collets. Industrial CNC does not print the spindle power in the specification sheet. Sheet work usually calls for vacuum hold-down and several tools per program, and on this machine both are extras: the standard top is T-slot with clamps, the zoned vacuum bed is optional, and the 8-station automatic tool changer is an accessory.

In the range it sits between the half-sheet Apprentice 404 and the Craftsman 510, which has a 60 x 120 x 12 in (1,524 x 3,048 x 305 mm) working area. Power is AC 220 V; the maker states that the standard table needs a single-phase supply.

Strengths & Limitations

Strengths

  • Working area of 48 x 96 x 12 in (1,219 x 2,438 x 305 mm) takes one full standard sheet in a single setup
  • Dual-driven gantry with a rapid speed of 0-900 ipm (0-22.9 m/min)
  • Liquid-cooled high-frequency spindle, variable to 24,000 rpm, with ER collets
  • Open-architecture bed on a stress-annealed welded steel frame, loadable from front and back
  • 12 in (305 mm) of Z in the working area for thick stock

Limitations

  • Travel equals the sheet size exactly, so there is no margin for oversize panels in X or Y
  • Vacuum hold-down and the 8-station tool changer are not standard; the base machine uses clamps and manual collet changes
  • Spindle power is not stated, and the accuracy rows of the table carry no unit
  • At 1,980 lb (898 kg) with a 118 x 64 x 44 in (2,997 x 1,626 x 1,118 mm) crate, delivery needs a forklift and a wide door

Frequently Asked Questions

01 What sheet size does the Artisan 408 take?

The working area is 48 x 96 x 12 in (1,219 x 2,438 x 305 mm), which is one standard sheet. The table measures 60 x 110 in (1,524 x 2,794 mm). For 60 x 120 in material the Craftsman 510, with a 60 x 120 x 12 in (1,524 x 3,048 x 305 mm) working area, is the model to look at.

02 Does the Artisan 408 have an automatic tool changer?

Not as standard. The base machine has an ER collet spindle and tools are changed by hand. An 8-station automatic tool changer is listed among the accessories, and the maker advises confirming option compatibility for each model.

03 What are the spindle and speed figures?

The specification sheet lists a high-frequency liquid-cooled spindle that is variable to 24,000 rpm, and a rapid speed of 0-900 ipm (0-22.9 m/min). The maker also states that the included variable frequency drive gives a 2000 to 24,000 RPM range. No power rating is printed.

04 How is the Artisan 408 delivered and how heavy is it?

Net weight is 1,980 lb (898 kg) and the packing size is 118 x 64 x 44 in (2,997 x 1,626 x 1,118 mm). Plan for a forklift and for an opening wider than the 64 in crate dimension, plus working room around a 60 x 110 in (1,524 x 2,794 mm) table.

05 What electrical supply is needed?

The table lists a working voltage of AC 220 V, and the maker states that the standard table requires 220V single phase 20 amps. Accessories such as a vacuum pump have their own requirements, which have to be confirmed separately.
