Genmitsu 3040 Y-Axis Extension Kit

Y axis extension kit

WHAT'S INCLUDED?

For 3018-PRO& 3018-MX3 Series:

2 x Y-axis Aluminum Extrusions

1 x Y-axis Extended Lead Screw

2 x Y-axis Extended Linear Rails

1 x Replacement Zip-ties

1 x Assembly Instruction

Expand your machine's potential with an easy upgrade that will provide over double your previous work area. Perfect for making signs or just accommodating larger stock material for multiple cuts.

Note: The stock limit switch wire is long enough to accommodate the Y axis extension. In order for this to work you must move the X axis arms forward on the Frame far enough so that the Y+ wire can reach the Y+ limit switch, and then secure the X axis arms by tightening all 6 screws on each arm.

Material: Aluminum

Package Weight: 1.77 KG (3.90LB)

Package Dimension: 51.5*21.5*7.5cm

How to assemble the extension kit?

1. Disassembly

Disconnect & remove all wires connecting to the base of your CNC.

Unscrew the gantry assembly from either side of the CNC's base.

Take apart your frame.

2. CNC Base Assembly

Attach the extended side extrusions & linear rails to the back panel.

Install extended lead screw into CNC bed through spring & copper nut.

Install the bed with threaded lead screw into the liner rails already attached to back panel.

Secure the lead screw to the Y-Axis stepper motor through the coupler.

Install the front panel & square frame.

3. Final Assembly

The process of mating the base frame with the gantry assembly mirrors the same process as when you assembled your CNC for the first time, the only major difference is that rather than having the gantry spaced 46.5mm from the rear of the frame, you are now going to want it to move more forward in order to take advantage of the expanded Y-Axis.
