Re-inventing the CNC experience again!

Onefinity changed the CNC experience, first by standardizing a quick and easy set-up process and pioneering linear rails and ball screws at a price makers and small businesses could afford. This forced ALL manufacturers to abandon plastic wheels and rubber belts. We then revolutionized accessories for small shops with products like the Rolling - Folding Stand, Wall Mount and Use Anywhere QCW. Now, Onefinity is trailblazing again with the Revolution.

Unique Material Holding Adapter

The Onefinity Revolution comes with a unique material holding adapter to allow for the use of oversized material. The Material Holding Adapter allows for machining material that is too big for the jaws of the chuck to hold by themselves.

Unique Height Adjusting Design

The Onefinity Revolution is the first and only Rotary 4th Axis that allows you to adjust the material loading height. This patent pending feature allows you to maximize your cutting material thickness height to match the gantry height of your CNC machine.

Tired of being stuck with a 4th Axis that can only handle small diameter parts and no way of increasing the material size it can handle? With the Onefinity Revolution there’s no need to worry, adjusting the height so you can increase the size of the material you can machine is now possible. You can go from accepting a 4” material size to a 7” material size (and beyond) by using Revolution Spacer Blocks.

Plug and Play XYZ Probing

Finding the exact center of your material is quick and easy with the built in Plug and Play XYZ Probe.

Inductive Homing

With the Onefinity Revolution not only can you easily find your material center with the XYZ Probe, you can easily find the angle of your work piece with the built-in inductive homing. (Elite Machines Only)

Innovative QCW Mount

The innovative patent pending QCW Mount allows the Revolution to be precision installed and ready to use within minutes. Your journey to 4th axis Carving couldn’t be easier.

Y-Axis Splitter Box (for non-elite machines)

To allow our non Elite customers to have true 4th axis function, we designed a unique Y-Axis Splitter Box. Simple plug your Y-Axis cables into the back of the Splitter box. They will stay there permanently. When you want to use your 4th Axis, simply plug it into the front and push the activate button. You now have true 4th axis motion (Y-Axis will now be able to move during a 4th axis carve).

The Y-Axis Splitter Box comes standard with all Pro/Original (BB Buildbotics) versions of the 4th axis.

Easy to use Clamping Brackets

The Revolutionary easy clamping brackets allow the Revolution to be installed virtually anywhere on your wasteboard.

super cool - could we have on the Wishlist that the Elite profiles for Vectric / Masso includes a Rotary profile?

And maybe make a “Elite Rotary getting started” with the above config and Masso Steppers?

And last but not least - make certain we can order spare/extra Masso steppers direct from Onefinity to maybe include in our Elite shipments?

The above 4 Axis combo is available from a range of eBay and Alibaba sellers but of course without the closed loop stepper.

4

If I understand the specification data correctly, the only machine with a higher gantry clearance is the elite foreman, due to it using 50 mm Y rails. You gain an inch - now 6 1/4” vs 5 1/4” - when the z assembly is in the highest mounting position.

5

Based on the drawings on the Amazon link above the center point is 2.79" so appears it would fit either if it is mounted flush to the table surface

8

Only on the foreman model I think as it is the only one with larger diameter Y rails.

10

It already does. Look at post processors under MASSO

11

Exactly, We’ve used these ourself.

12

It’ll just need a modification of the table. The table will need a removable section so the rotary axis can mount below the waste board.

It would be nice to find a rotary axis that didn’t come with a chuck. The chuck on my wood lathe has numerous options for jaws where as the rotary axis versions have what look like two sets of jaws that are designed more for metal. So a rotary axis with an internal MT2 taper and/or a standard outer thread would be great.

Team
What software is being used or recommended, for 4 axis? I am just getting my system set up and currently haven’t purchased anything yet.

16

Came here to say just this!

17

can the rotary be used for laser engraving?

18

I have the exact rotary attachment would it be possible to still use it with the stepper motor it came with or do we have to change to the stepper motor

19

I just installed a masso closed loop stepper on a K12-100, one size larger than you are using. I’m assuming you used the k11-80 due to the interference between the stepper and the chuck with the supplied 350-5M-15 belt on the K12-100. On the K12-100 with the 2nm masso stepper the stepper rubbed on the chuck with the supplied belt, I replace the belt with a 360-5M-15, there still some adjustment available and it doesn’t rub.

20

Hi - Same question. Did you get an answer?

21

Answer here: Axis Servo/Stepper examples

22

I have this same unit I got from CAD/CAM when I did an upgrade to add 4rh axis and MASSO g3. That was for my d23 unit from CAD/CAM. They did not have me change the stepper motor ?

23

Welp, i’m going to be attempting this in the next few months. Ive got the rotary in hand, waiting on Masso to ship the servo motor. Wiring the motor to the controller looks straight forward, ive been inside the G3 touch before and there looked like plenty of room to run wire. I found some decent 4 core STP cable and pull up resistors, heat shrink and wire loom. I just need to work out how im going to get power from the PSU to the stepper. I really dont feel like cracking that thing open to run wire. Anyone know what those two prong cable ends are called? The ones that are on the front of the PSU box? there are 5, and one is open.

24

I used the open connection for the Rotary on my Elite machine, I purchase the cable from 1F ( I am lazy) it has the 2 conductor connector on the end already.
Not sure about the resistors, I wired my Rotary just like the other steppers in the G3 )( I used a Masso Motor) and it works fine.

To plug into the 1F power supply’s open port, you’d need:

One of these: 0039013028 Molex | Connectors, Interconnects | DigiKey

At least 2 of these: 0039000039 Molex | Connectors, Interconnects | DigiKey

Two of these: 2047230002 Molex | Connectors, Interconnects | DigiKey

And these to crimp the pins correctly: Knoweasy Molex Crimper and Delphi Crimper Compatible with Deutsch DT Series Stamped or Formed Contact,Molex, Delphi, Amp, Tyco, Harley, PC, Automotive - AWG 24-14 Wire Crimper 1424A - Amazon.com

I’d also recommend running the cable inside the nylon sheathing and finishing the ends with heat shrink.

Hello, same here. i just ordered a rotary:

Was someone able to use this rotary using the motor that came with it?
I have the Elite Foreman.
