The Momus CNC router:
The completed Momus CNC router is a fully
enclosed and self-contained machine. There
are no external boxes required for
containment of electronic equipment, and the
dust enclosure is integral to the machine
design. The front half of the machine
enclosure hinges upward, to allow
unobstructed access to the bed area.
The Momus CNC router is a gantry-style
machine. However, unlike most routers of this
type, the Momus design places its outer
bearings directly in line with the gantry tube
to maximize stiffness and prevent deflection
while cutting. This results in the most
accurate cut possible.
Both the X and Y axes of the machine are
belt driven, which gives high speed, zero
backlash, and is tolerant of any small
misalignments.
The electronic controls for the machine are
housed directly in the side of the machine
base. This greatly minimizes the number of
cables going to the machine and makes it
easy to transport.
