NibblerBOT Capabilities

- 5 x 8’ working table area + 16” non tabled space
- 14.5” of total Z travel, 12” of gantry clearance
- 4 hp spindle
- 12 station tool rack
- Air blast
- Dust collection
- 1,000 ipm X and Y
- 400 ipm Z
- Wired control pendant
- 18K is the sweet spot for max torque, 24K is the max speed
- Woods of all types, non-ferrous is also possible (ASK FIRST)
Machine and Work Axes

All XYZ Coordinates are in Inches
- X axis 0-60
- Y axis 0-114.5
- 0-18 is pocket area
- Workspace Axes are oriented in the same fashion
- Red star denotes Machine 0,0,0 and Gold star denotes the HOME position.
Interface M, G-Codes, Miscellaneous
- M6 G43 – Tool Change, Enable Tool Length Offset
- Stores current tool if it was pulled from the rack, loads requested tool
- G43 – Enables Tool Length Offset, should be ON
- G49 – Cancels tool length compensation, DON’T do this!
- GO TO ZERO – moves to working X/Y zero
- GO TO G30 – Go To Predefined Position (in this case, Tool Setter)
- GO TO HOME – Returns spindle to back right
- All pre-programmed movements above are ‘Z First’ meaning they will raise the spindle to max height before moving on the X or Y axes.
