The optional coolant pump is mounted on the back of the machine column. It is wired into the electrical panel for operation as an auxiliary function or through the Accessory key on the CNC front panel. For ProtoTRAK SMX CNC two-axis models, a manual switch is provided.
The Networking Option lets you connect your ProtoTRAK to a network of other ProtoTRAKs or offline computers. See the specifications under the ProtoTRAK SMX CNC for a detailed listing of features.
Our most popular accessory. A convenient hand-held switch to start and stop the CNC servos during program run.
The unique Fog Buster non-fogging coolant sprayer precisely directs a find stream of coolant to the tool and workpiece.
Optional sensors for table and saddle traverse for a milling machine.
Since 1986, ProtoTRAK has brought an extraordinary level of productivity to small lot machining. When we tell you that TRAKing is the coolest thing ever made for tool room applications, you should believe that you owe it to yourself to get a live demo. This option converts the mechanical handwheels into electronic handwheels for operating the table and saddle and that enables the powerful TRAKing feature of the ProtoTRAK SMX CNC. The power comes in that you no longer have to choose between the efficiency of CNC and manual control - TRAKing gives you both. With TRAKing, you don't have to go through the process of proving out the CNC program before you dare to press the Go button. You can run the CNC program at the speed at which you crank the handwheel. Go fast, go slow, stop and take a measurement, go backwards, whatever. You are in complete control as the machine moves the table, saddle and (for three-axis models) ram through the programmed coordinates.
TRAKing is an exclusive feature to ProtoTRAK. Anyone else who says they have it may not be lying, but they don't know what they are talking about.
Slam your productivity into high gear with TRAKing. Do yourself a favor and get a demo of this powerful feature.
Standard on models FHM7 and DPM SX5P.
