Description

  • Sherline CNC-Ready 2-Axis X/Y Machine Slide 18" (Metric)
  • Offers precision-engineered motion for CNC systems
  • Constructed with durable 6061-T6 aluminum
  • Supports up to 10 lbs, emphasizing stability
  • Features metric leadscrews for accuracy
  • Mounts stepper motors for automation

The Sherline CNC-Ready 2-Axis X/Y Machine Slide 18" (Metric) is a precision-engineered component derived from the X/Y base of the Sherline miniature milling machine. It facilitates movement along the X-axis and Y-axis, with the Y-axis enabling in-and-out table motion and the X-axis allowing side-to-side travel. When mounted vertically, the X-axis remains the same, while the vertical movement is referred to as the Z-axis. Constructed from 6061-T6 aluminum, the slide is finished with a black anodized coating, ensuring durability and resistance to wear.

This CNC-ready machine slide is available with an 18-inch table length and features a metric leadscrew. The leadscrews are precision rolled from steel, with adjustable backlash to maintain accuracy. The dovetailed tables and saddles are equipped with adjustable gibs to eliminate play, enhancing the precision of operations. The handwheels are graduated in 0.01 mm increments, providing fine control over adjustments. The slide is designed to accommodate NEMA 23 stepper motors, making it suitable for integration into CNC systems.

Mounting options are versatile, with provisions for securing the slide from the bottom using four 1/4-20 holes on 2-inch centers, or from the top using four angle clamps. The slide can support a weight capacity of approximately 10 lbs, contingent on the weight's location and the table's length. For optimal performance, it is recommended to keep the dovetail and screw lubricated with light oil, as this will extend the lifespan of the components.

Note: CNC-ready slides cannot be operated manually until stepper motors are installed. Additionally, do not use WD40 as a lubricant, as it will remove the anodized coating from these parts.
