Description
Discover the precision and efficiency of the CanCam X540, a compact CNC milling machine engineered to deliver big performance in a small footprint. Designed for workshops where space and budget matter, the X540 combines industrial-grade rigidity with an impressive feature set—making it the ideal entry into professional CNC machining without compromise.
Despite its space-saving design, the X540 is built with a rigid frame and structural integrity that ensures exceptional machining accuracy and stability. Drawing just 5.2kW of power, the machine operates effortlessly on a standard 40 AMP breaker, making it perfect for smaller facilities or single-phase applications.
At the heart of the X540 is the reliable GSK218MC-H controller, known for its intuitive interface and dependable performance. This robust control system enables seamless programming and high-precision execution for even complex machining tasks.
Equipped with a Lichuan 3kW (4HP) spindle reaching speeds up to 9000 RPM, the X540 delivers the torque and speed required for demanding applications like milling, drilling, and engraving. Its 8-position automatic tool changer uses a compact disc-type magazine to minimize tool change time and maximize workflow efficiency.
