X-axis:
For the energy supply on the x-axis, we recommend the standard E2i.26 energy chain or the B15i for small milling machines. Thanks to smooth contours, both are cable-friendly. To make sure that the energy chains function reliably, we recommend using tubular troughs.

Y-axis:
Like with the energy supply on the X-axis, we also recommend the standard energy chain E2i.26 or B15i for small milling machines for the Y-axis.

Application example for milling head in CNC machine series

The M-series for CNC machines at the Stepcraft company is very popular with hobby users, but also for producing small series and creating prototypes.
When designing the milling machine, function and flexibility played just as important a role as cost. Therefore, the machine manufacturer now relies on our dryspin lead screws and nuts for moving the milling head on three axes.
