HALOONG CNC Woodworking Equipment FAQs

Product Selection and Comparison
What are the key differences between stepper motors and servo motors in a HALOONG CNC router? How should I choose?
Stepper motors use open-loop control and are lower in cost. They suit production where high precision and minimal load changes are needed.
Servo motors use closed-loop control, offering higher accuracy and faster response. They perform well under heavy loads and at high speeds.
Choosing the Right Motor
Consider your production needs and budget. For limited budgets and simple panel cutting, stepper motors are economical. For higher accuracy, efficiency, and complex work, servo motors are better.
HALOONG’s Offerings
HALOONG uses different motors based on the CNC equipment series. We often offer upgrades from stepper to servo motors. Our sales team can advise on the best choice for your scale, product type, and budget.
In HALOONG CNC equipment, what are the advantages and disadvantages of rack and pinion versus ball screw drives? How does HALOONG cleverly apply them?
Ball screws offer exceptional precision and minimal friction. They are ideal for short, precise movements like the Z-axis.
However, in long strokes, ball screws can experience “screw whip” at high speeds, affecting stability and accuracy.
Rack and pinion drives are better for long strokes. They provide higher rigidity and load capacity, with no theoretical limit on travel length.
HALOONG’s Application
HALOONG typically uses high-precision rack and pinion systems on long axes (X and Y). We optimize the gear meshing for overall performance. For more precise short-axis movement, some high-end models use ball screws. HALOONG selects the best drive method based on each axis and the equipment’s performance goals.
What factors should I consider when choosing the spindle motor for HALOONG CNC equipment? What power range of spindle motors does HALOONG offer?
Choosing the right spindle motor is key for efficient, high-quality machining. Consider the material type and thickness you plan to process.
Power Considerations
Harder materials or deeper cuts usually require a more powerful spindle motor.
HALOONG’s Range
HALOONG offers various power and types of spindle motors, including air-cooled and water-cooled options, from 3kW and up. Our team will recommend the best motor for your specific materials and process needs.
When choosing a HALOONG CNC router for my factory, what size factors should I consider? What size best suits my production needs?
Selecting the right CNC router size is crucial for production efficiency and product range. Consider your current needs, including panel size and type, and your future plans, like expansion or new product lines.
Size Considerations
If you mainly process small parts, a smaller machine might suffice. If you often cut standard-sized panels (e.g., 1220mm x 2440mm), a correspondingly sized or larger HALOONG router is better.
HALOONG’s Recommendation
If your budget allows, choose a machine that meets your needs for the next few years. Avoid going too small to save initial costs, as this can limit future growth. Our sales engineers will assess your factory space, current production, and anticipated products to recommend the best CNC router model and size.
Operation and Software
Is it necessary to master complex G-code programming to operate a HALOONG CNC router?
For most users, complex G-code programming isn’t needed to operate a HALOONG CNC router. Modern systems have intuitive interfaces and powerful CAD/CAM software.
You can easily design products in this software, which automatically converts designs into machine code.
HALOONG’s Control System
HALOONG’s control system uses standard G-code. Basic G-code knowledge can help with advanced operations or troubleshooting. However, for routine tasks like panel cutting, you can work efficiently through the design software and control panel without deep G-code knowledge.
What types of supporting software are typically required to operate HALOONG CNC equipment? How should I choose?
To fully use HALOONG CNC equipment, you generally need two main software types: design software (CAD) and machining programming software (CAM).
CAD Software
CAD software is for creating product drawings and models.
CAM Software
CAM software converts these drawings into machine code.
HALOONG’s Compatibility
HALOONG CNC equipment works with various mainstream CAD/CAM software like XX, YY, and ZZ, commonly used in furniture design. These cover simple 2D to complex 3D work and professional cabinet design.
Choosing Software
Select software based on your specific machining needs, your familiarity with it, and your budget.
Can I directly use drawings designed with software like AutoCAD on HALOONG CNC equipment?
Yes, if you use AutoCAD or other CAD software, you can import your DXF files directly into the CAM software compatible with HALOONG CNC equipment. This simplifies your workflow, especially for users with existing CAD drawings.
What are the common methods for fixing materials when using HALOONG CNC equipment? What fixing methods does HALOONG’s equipment support?
