Operator-Friendly Control and Software

Become a 3D milling expert almost immediately with the MDX-50’s simple yet powerful built-in control panel and virtual control panel (VPanel), and bundled SRP Player CAM software that’s easy-to-use and simplifies operation.

With the control panel at the front of the unit, almost all operations can be completed from the unit itself without having to go back to a PC. The VPanel interface operates seamlessly with the MDX-50 and allows users to make changes to spindle rotation or speed during operation.

Automatic Tool Changer

The MDX-50 increases performance with an expanded machining area and increased operating speeds, while reducing production time with faster job processing and a 5-station Automatic Tool Changer for continuous operation without stopping to change milling tools.

Mill Fine Details and Smooth Finishes

With an improved drive system, machine rigidity and enhanced drive mechanics, the MDX-50 mills incredibly smooth and accurate prototypes for testing structure, function, and assembly with other parts. A machining area of 400mm (X) x 305mm (Y) x 135mm (Z) supports production of large single objects or batch production of smaller multiple parts.

Free Your Time

The automated features of the MDX-50 enables users to mill with speed and confidence. Combine the 5-station ATC and optional rotary axis unit for the most automated and precise operation:

Auto-sensing function corrects the tool length to ensure milling accuracy for every job
Optional rotary axis for effortless production of complex surfaces:
- Includes a wide, self-centering headstock and tailstock workpiece clamps
- Auto-rotates materials from 0-to-360 degrees
- Indexes for 2-sided, 4-sided and custom angles
