Frequently Asked Questions

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.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 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.

Ball screws offer exceptional precision and minimal friction. They are ideal for short, precise movements like the Z-axis.Rack and pinion drives are better for long strokes. They provide higher rigidity and load capacity, with no theoretical limit on travel length.
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.
In large-scale cutting machines (X/Y axis), rack and pinion are used to ensure speed and travel, and ball screw is used on the Z axis to improve engraving accuracy.

Choosing the right spindle motor is key for efficient, high-quality machining. Consider the material type and thickness you plan to process.Harder materials or deeper cuts usually require a more powerful spindle motor.
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.
Economical type: 3-6kW (suitable for MDF engraving);
Industrial grade: 8-15kW (suitable for high-speed cutting or multi-layer board cutting).

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.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.
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.
Small furniture factory: 1300×2500mm single station;
Large factory: 1300×2850mm double station + automatic loading and unloading.

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 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.

To fully use HALOONG CNC equipment, you generally need two main software types: design software (CAD) and machining programming software (CAM).CAD software is for creating product drawings and models.CAM software converts these drawings into machine code.HALOONG CNC equipment works with various mainstream CAD/CAM software, commonly used in furniture design. These cover simple 2D to complex 3D work and professional cabinet design.Select software based on your specific machining needs, your familiarity with it, and your budget.

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.

Several common methods exist for fixing materials on HALOONG CNC equipment, suitable for different part sizes, material types, and production goals.
• Vacuum Hold Down: Efficient for large panels, using a vacuum pump. HALOONG offers various systems. Ensure the material surface is flat and airtight.
• Mechanical Clamps: Use pressure plates, screws, etc., for various shapes and sizes.
• Fixture Systems: Custom solutions for specific products to improve efficiency and accuracy.
HALOONG’s equipment is flexible and supports all these methods. Choose and configure based on your needs.

The machining speed varies by HALOONG CNC equipment model. Specific parameters are in our manuals or on our website.Actual cutting speed (feed rate) isn’t fixed. Key factors include:
• Equipment Configuration: Spindle motor power, machine rigidity, and tool quality.
• Tool Type: Number of flutes, diameter, and sharpness.
• Cutting Parameters: Cutting depth, spindle speed, and feed rate.
• Machining Material: Hardness and density affect achievable speed. We can provide reference ranges for common materials.
HALOONG recommends consulting tool supplier parameters and carefully adjusting based on actual conditions for optimal speed and quality.
