ProtoTRAK SMX Retrofit options
Retrofit CNC Models ProtoTRAK SMX2 and ProtoTRAK SMX3

RSG - the Remote Stop/Go Switch

 
 
Our most popular accessory. A convenient hand-held switch to start and stop the CNC servos during program run.

 

Converters

Translate the programs between the ProtoTRAK to other CNCs. Priced separately for each machine model.

DXF File Converter

 
 
Powerful software that imports DXF file information and provides the user interface to add the data necessary to complete the part program. Same user friendly format as the ProtoTRAK programming.

 

TRAK Sensors

 
 
Optional sensors for table and saddle traverse for a milling machine. See TRAK DRO for a description of the TRAK Sensors.

 

Glass Scale

 
 
A popular brand of glass scale  mounted on the table and saddle.

 

Limit Switches

Switches and brackets to set for maximum travel limits. Tripping the switch will cause the servo motors to shut down. Note, limit switches are not especially recommended. The system software monitors voltage intensity and will shut down the servos if it detects excessive force.
 

Coolant Pump

Three-axis ProtoTRAK SMX CNC with AUX functions only.
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 two-axis CNC operation, a manual switch is provided.
 

Auxiliary functions

Three-axis ProtoTRAK SMX CNC only.
The Auxiliary functions provide program control of spray mist or coolant and interface to a programmable rotary table or indexer. Auxiliary functions are not available for running the ProtoTRAK SMX in two-axis CNC operation.
 

Advanced Features Option

Advanced programming and operation for the ProtoTRAK SMX CNC. See the specifications under the ProtoTRAK SMX CNC for a detailed listing of features.
 

Spray Coolant

 
 
The unique Fog Buster non-fogging coolant sprayer precisely directs a find stream of coolant to the tool and workpiece.

 

Networking/Memory Option

The Networking/Memory Option enhances the file storage and file sharing capability of the ProtoTRAK SMX. See the specifications under the ProtoTRAK SMX CNC for a detailed listing of features.
 

TRAKing / Electronic Handwheel Option

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) quill 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.

 

Vise

 
 
 
Model 675 6” Kurt vise and mounting hardware. Opens to 7.5”.
