Robotpark MF-70 CNC Kit Control Box

Robotpark MF-70 CNC Kit Control Box info

With Robotpark MF-70 CNC Kit you can convert your standard MF-70 micro milling machine to a computer controlled CNC milling machine and process your parts much more quickly and precisely. You can even create your own PCBs on a copper plate. You can check the original kit using this link.

Robotpark MF-70 CNC Kit simply consists of two sub systems. First sub system which is called mechanical system is used to mechanically convert the control method of micro milling machine from standard hand wheels to step motors. Second sub system which is called electronical system is used to convert the CNC commands called G-codes to signals suitable for the steppers and control the steppers electrically. Due to that distinction between these two subsystems the mechanical parts and the electronical parts of the original kit can be purchased separately.

Electronic parts in this kit are one original Arduino Uno microcontroller board, one Synthetos GShield, one SBS-1005T box which all the parts are mounted on. 

Similar to Robotpark MF-70 CNC Kit, the CNC controls in the electronic parts kit are also done using grbl protocol. Arduino Uno is programmed properly to be able to convert any CNC command to a suitable motor driver command. To send G-code lines to the electronic box, you can check the electronics section of the Robotpark MF-70 CNC Kit Setup Guide.
