Along with its popular AXYZ-brand routers, AXYZ (Burlington, ON, Canada) is offering the lower-cost Camtech line. The Camtech Z7 is an entry-level CNC router that cuts plastics, woods, foams and non-ferrous metals in 2D and 3D. The machine has a 54 x 104-ft. process area and 48 x 96-in. vacuum grid with a 700-ipm maximum positioning speed.

The company says that the Camtech Z7 is less costly than the AXYZ line, and still offers a welded-steel frame, profile linear-bearing rails and a multi-purpose aluminum vacuum and clamping bed. An Elite 5 HP spindle (6,000 to 24,000 RPM), a side subconsole for operations, 6-in. z-axis clearance, linear profile bearings and a ballscrew Z axis are additional standard features.

Optional add-ons include a misting system; vacuum hold-down pumps and blowers; ArtCAM Insignia, Express or Pro; a heavy-duty drag knife and a vinyl knife/pen-plotter attachment.
