Motionmaster 5-Axis CNC Router | Twin 5×5 & Colombo Spindle
For Sale: Retrofitted Motionmaster 5-axis CNC router, Twin 5×5 moving tables, 30” Z-axis travel, dual Colombo spindle, Fagor 8055 Power CNC. #E846
Large-Format, 5-Axis Simultaneous Production Workhorse
This retrofitted Motionmaster features a high-rail, fixed-bridge structural framework engineered specifically for simultaneous 5-axis sculpting, deep-cavity mold production, and complex compound trimming. Configured with dual 5’ x 5′ aluminum moving vacuum tables and a massive 30-inch Z-axis stroke, this layout provides an exceptional envelope for complex 3D tool paths.
The twin-table design allows you to run in continuous pendulum mode (loading one table while the other runs a 5-axis cycle) or lock the tables together for synchronized large-format setups. Upgraded to a modern Fagor 8055 Power platform and completely rewired in late 2022, this machine offers classic, ultra-rigid cast-iron mass paired with contemporary processing speeds, look-ahead features, and Ethernet capability.
5-Axis Work Envelope & Table Geometry
- Table Configuration: Dual 5’ x 5’ (60” x 60”) aluminum grid vacuum tables.
- Continuous Operations: Tables can operate independently for pendulum cycles or be locked/slaved together for long-form setups.
- Z-Axis Travel: 30” of programmable vertical Z-axis stroke—critical for deep-cavity mold patterns, tall fixtures, and complex multi-angle aggregate head clearance.
- Rotary & Tilt Axes: Fully active, continuous multi-axis articulation configured for smooth 3D toolpath interpolation.
Spindle & Tooling System
- Spindle Manufacturer: Giordano Colombo (Made in Italy).
- Power Rating: 5.2 kW (approx. 7 HP).
- Design Type: Dual-ended manual-change spindle config, providing highly flexible multi-tool or multi-ended indexing profiles.
- Electrical Data: 380V, 300Hz, 12A rated at 18,000 RPM.
Utility & Installation Requirements
- Electrical Power: 380 Volts, 3-Phase, 60 Hz.
- Pneumatics: Requires clean, dry shop air for pneumatic assists.
- Rigging Layout: High-rail stationary-bridge architecture with moving tables. Specific footprint coordinates, foundation load parameters, and transport dimensions are provided upon formal request.
Operational Status
Excellent Post-Retrofit Condition. Fully rewired and upgraded to the modern Fagor 8055 Power infrastructure at the close of 2022. The entire multi-axis servo loop has been fully tested and maintained. The unit remains set up in a production-ready environment and is available for full multi-axis geometry inspections under power.
Motion Control & 2022 Retrofit Specs
- CNC Control: Fagor 8055 Power CNC platform (incorporating a high-speed PowerPC module, integrated PLC, and real-time axis diagnostics).
- Interpolation Capability: Full simultaneous 5-axis motion handling with advanced RTCP (Rotary Tool Center Point) or tool length offset tracking.
- Network & Storage: 2 GB Hard Drive, Ethernet TCP/IP interface, USB, and RS-232 serial links for lightning-fast CAM data transfers.
- System Retrofit: Complete electrical cabinet rewire, new components, and CNC control conversion completed by our engineering division in late 2022.
- Operator Handheld: Custom CNC Parts Dept. (CNCPD) remote teach pendant featuring an industrial manual pulse generator (MPG) flywheel, active E-stop, axis selection dial, and incremental resolution toggles.
Industry Applications
Aerospace & Marine Composites
Optimized for simultaneous 5-axis edge trimming, pocketing, and drilling of carbon fiber, fiberglass, and Kevlar components.
3D Pattern & Mold Sculpting
Rigidity allows clean finishing cuts in heavy foam, polyurethane tooling board, and epoxy model blocks.
Woodworking & Cabinetry
The massive 30-inch Z-axis clearance accommodates deep-drawn plastic housings, automotive components, and large-format enclosures.
Technical Support
Because this machine was systematically retrofitted and rewired internally by our expert team in late 2022, we retain the complete engineering map, wiring schematics, and PLC configuration data for this exact layout. This ensures your maintenance team or future operators will have direct, friction-free technical clarity that standard legacy machines simply cannot offer. Whether you are expanding a high-volume thermoforming facility or scaling up structural pattern production, this platform delivers new-machine dependability at a fraction of the capital investment.
