We offer optional Roller Hold Down system for customers especially in the furniture frame, boat and other other industries with warped materials and vacuum hold down alone isn't good enough to hold down smaller-thinner parts.
The Roller Hold Down option is available with the Gemini, Orion and Pegasus series.
Like many other options, the Roller Hold Down doesn't alter any of the machine's standard specifications and features that is being offered with unless otherwise quoted.

The two-stage 10hp regen vacuum pump comes standard with our Centaurus and Gemini series. It is low-maintenance, no messy oil lubrication, or belts to replace.
We normally offer free upgrade to the 15hp (15hp@50Hz, 17hp@60Hz)
Up to 33hp with more than 1,000Cfm upgrade is available.
ALL new customers will receive detail Pre-installation manual/guide well in advanced covering delivery schedule, preparations and requirements.
However, below are some basic steps for reference only.
1. You will be informed in advanced regarding your cnc delivery schedule.
2. If required, you must schedule a rigger to be onsite to unload and position the cnc into your facility
3. Once the cnc is in place, you must arrange for the power, air, dust extraction to be connected to the cnc. See Specifications tab above for details.
4. Ensure that you have the software, tooling, materials available for the cnc set-up/training. See Software-Tooling menu for details.
5. Once all items in No. 4 above are in place, fill in the cnc setup page request from the Pre-installation guide you received via email and fax it to us.
6. We will confirm the setup date(s) requested. Your cnc is expected to be ready for production at the end of the setup-training session.
