Overview
If you are looking for a top of the line CNC Plasma / Laser / Router Gantry kit that is a great "Value" for its price and surpasses the "Cheap" hobby
price point machines, that you can use to complete your own light Industrial CNC cutting system with some sweat equity to save some money, you
are in the right place!  The Alpha Wolf CNC Plasma Gantry will be a supreme leader in its class & reign superior because of its simple, yet highly
effective design features, great value, excellent strength, durability, exceptional accuracy & precision plasma cutting capabilities!  Many DIY people
and fabricators are capable of building a CNC machine, but it is not economically smart to do so totally from scratch, taking away from valuable
billable business hours as the time involved in order to understand all the important elements, eliminate the large amount of time it takes to
properly design, test and improve, as well as the trial and error associated in achieving a quality cutting table of this magnitude.  It just does not
make sense.  This is were our time already spent in these areas, can save you time and money but still allow you to achieve a "self built"
professional CNC table focusing your time on things that you are more productive at, which saves you time and money!

Features and Specs
  • Any width (4' - 10ft' +/-) and Any length (4' - 100' +/-) - actual width is several inches wider, allowing tool offset & cutting full sheet width.
  • 4ft Gantry is under 115lbs and 10ft Gantry still under 200lbs!
  • Setup for 3 Nema 34 stepper motors for the X & Y axis and 1 Nema 23 stepper motor for the Z axis (will accept other motors with adapters)
  • Positional Precision - X & Y = .0006", Z = .0001
  • Plasma Cutting Accuracy Capabilities of .001" and better from a used 2 yr old table using only a hand torch! (see video)
  • Rapid speeds up to 1000 IPM, cutting up to 500+ IPM (actual, realistic, practical used speeds are usually lower but these are possible)
  • Belt reduction, oversized, spring tensioned gear drives (low wear & no backlash without frequent adjustments)
  • Double wide stacked guide bearings, 28 total on main axis!! (provides extra long living bearings, smooth rolling and a very rigid machine)
  • Eccentric adjusters on alignment bearings for easy fine tuned adjustments
  • Quick disengagement pins on main axis for easy cleaning, adjustment and movement by hand of the gantry in an unpowered state
  • Enclosed motor mounts and belt covers on tables outside drives for safety
  • Hardened V bearing gantry linear rail (self clearing for dirty environments)
  • Heavy duty homing and limit switches (very important for indexing sheets, tubes, etc with repeatable accuracy and for collision safety)
  • Z axis manufactured using recirculating ball bearing guides and drive screw on Z axis, mounted with double opposing bearings
  • Z axis clearance and travel of 6 3/8" allows cutting of flat sheet and tubing
  • Allows use of a 2nd offset tool, such as an engraving scribe
  • Save lots of money on labor & freight, by building the table structure yourself, onsite with locally purchased steel & common fabrication skills
  • Complete the CNC table with a CandCNC Electronics, Software & PC package (or other) and finish up yourself to save even more money


Purchasing Options and Pricing
All kits include all the same parts, but are offered at different levels of completion.  If you are not comfortable getting everything aligned, squared,
parallel, etc. we recommend you purchase a complete gantry that will only require minimal adjusting when installing on the table.

  • Complete Alpha Wolf Gantry - Assembled (Easiest for you)
    Painted, Assembled and Adjusted ready to set on the table with only minor adjustments

  • Complete Alpha Wolf Gantry - Unassembled (Recommended Best Value!)
    Unpainted welded X, Y and Z assemblies ship partly assembled with required hardware.  Gantry linear rail may be dropshipped.  Main tube
    (trimmed and drilled) and table gear rack ship together.  All items ship via UPS in multiple packages.  Requires main parts to be painted,
    assembled and adjusted while setting on the table.  Does require common fabrication knowledge for properly finishing and aligning.
    Can also save approx $750-$1000 of freight cost!

  • Alpha Wolf Gantry Kit - Bare Bones Parts ONLY! (Lowest Cost - Most work for you)
    Still includes all of the same parts, however, some drilling and trimming may be needed, parts are not trial fitted, not welded, not assembled,
    not aligned or adjusted - Lowest Possible Cost - Requires competent, skilled DIY fabricator!  If you are not a DIY person, this is not for you.
    Currently limited instructions, but pictures and simple videos are available.  As time allows, we are working on improving instructions.
    If you have doubts, please contact us first and make sure you are capable and confident to ensure successful completion! No returns!

  • Table Drive Kit
    Includes gear rack for both sides of table rails, VHB tape for securing (optional) and cable carrier.  This IS needed to complete the table.
