Drive technology

Tekcel routers feature recirculating ball leadscrew drive systems powered by closed loop, digital servo control motors on all axis. The X axis has 2 leadscrew drives to power the heavy duty gantry up and down the bed.

The ball leadscrew drive systems deliver unerring accuracy, repeatability and reliability. Their rolling ball design virtually eliminates contact wear and creates a robust linear motion free of play.

Less expensive drive systems, such as rack and pinion, are subject to wear and, as a result, can end up costing considerably more in terms of loss of accuracy, breakdowns and loss of production. Our servo motors deliver the power you need to get the through the biggest workloads, constantly checking their position to maintain cutting accuracy at all times.
