CNC Wood Signs Making Machine

A signs CNC router is used for all kinds of wood projects such as wood signs, wood crafts, wood arts, wood boxes, wood furniture and other wood products. CNC (Computer Numerical Control) technology is commonly used in woodworking to create intricate and precise designs on wood.

IGOLDENCNC sign making machine can help sign makers to work with practically any material. You can use these sign engraving machines to carve signs in brass, wood, plastic, corrugated plastic, bronze, aluminum, styrene, rubber, acrylic, foam and other materials. IGOLDENCNC has a wide range of configurations including tangential knife systems, or multiple tools, vision recognition systems that meet any request for any level sign workshop. Our CNC router is compatible with any kind of software for sign makers, such as ArtCAM, Vectric, Enroute, Type 3, AlphCAM or MasterCAM. That brings the sign maker’s ability to design any 2D or complex 3D sign design or carving. The sign maker can use the DXF file, clip art, and photographs, or you can create your own design from scratch with our simple but powerful controls.

A CNC router machines is a computer-controlled cutting machine that utilizes a router to carve out precise shapes and designs from various materials such as wood, plastics, metals, and composites. It is commonly used in the woodworking, metalworking, and sign-making industries to create intricate and detailed designs that would be difficult or impossible to achieve by hand. CNC router tables consist of a table or bed, a spindle that holds the cutting tool, and a computer-controlled system that guides the tool’s movement. The computer system reads a design file, which is created using specialized software, and then translates the design into specific movements and cuts for the cutting tool.They can perform edge profiling, pocket cutting, pattern cutting, engraving, laminate trimming and many other applications. The CNC control allows for a high degree of automation, precision and consistency.

An ATC (Automatic Tool Change) CNC router machine is a type of CNC router that has the ability to automatically change cutting tools during a job without the need for manual intervention. This feature makes it highly efficient and reduces downtime, making it an ideal option for woodworking applications. Here are some benefits of using an ATC CNC router machine for woodworking:

ATC stands for automatic tool changer. An ATC CNC router adopts an electric spindle which automatically loosens or clamps tools by the movement of the internal cylinder. And the electric ATC spindle quickly auto changes the cutting tools without stopping work. An ordinary CNC router only adopts one cutting bit on the spindle. And the operator needs to stop the machine and then manually replaces the tool, which affects the processing efficiency in a negative way. The invention of automatic tool changer CNC router represents the most technological CNC router. It changes tools automatically and greatly saves the processing time and manpower.

The intelligent tool change function of the machine depends on the control system and tool magazine. The control system controls the movement of gantry and spindle. And the tool magazine carries multiple cutting tools. When a tool completes its machining work, the spindle moves to the tool magazine and releases the tool. Next, it automatically grabs the next tool for subsequent processing. Automatic tool changer function is the final trend of CNC router development. It is the best choice for large and medium-scale processing projects. Linear tool magazine and disc tool magazine. Linear Tool Magazine Linear tool magazine is a linear device on which there are multiple cutting tools are adopted. This tool magazine can be installed under the gantry or behind the workbench according to user’s requirements.

Types of Signs You Can CNC

Wooden signs might be popular on Etsy, but in industry, other signs are more common. So, here is a list of different ways CNCs can make (or help make) signs:

• Wooden signs: the CNC can carve the sign directly in wood (or MDF, Bamboo, etc). There are also methods of coloring to create contrast.
• Hand lettering wood: the CNC carves separate letters out of wood for hand lettering.
• ACM signs: the CNC (or laser) cuts the required ACM size. The CNC could also cut custom-shaped signs out of ACM sheets. Then, it drills holes in the ACM for mounting. Additionally, the CNC can round the cut edges with a bullnose endmill if the customer is willing to pay more. However, making ACM signs also requires printing or painting.
• Channel letter fabrication: the CNC (or laser) cuts returns and backs from aluminum sheets. The CNC (or laser) will also cut the face out of aluminum for opaque signs, and out of acrylic for LED-illuminated signs. CNC is far superior to hand-cutting since hand-cut letters have void spaces, which can result in water entering and destroying the light.
• Hardened PVC signs: hardened PVC is an excellent surface for creating channel letters. CNCs can easily cut hardened PVC, especially since lasers aren’t suitable for cutting these surfaces.
• Aluminum signs: CNCs or lasers can cut custom aluminum signs. You can CNC-engrave, paint, or use printing methods on aluminum signs.
• Anodized aluminum signs: however, laser engraving anodized aluminum signs is faster. So, it’s best to have a CNC for cutting, and a laser for engraving. Alternatively, you can get a very powerful laser (several hundred watts) that can cut and engrave.
• Acrylic signs: CNCs can cut acrylic signs, and also cut text or graphics out of contrasting acrylic. However, achieving an excellent acrylic surface finish is more difficult on a CNC router than with a laser, though CNCs are easier to cut thick acrylic with.
• Colorbond signs: though they’re falling in popularity, CNCs can cut shapes of our colorbond. You’ll still need printing methods or painting to finish the sign.
