SRP (Subtractive Rapid Prototyping) - starting with a solid object and removing unwanted material - has several advantages over traditional additive rapid prototyping. SRP devices cost significantly less while producing prototypes out of a wider variety of non-proprietary materials with greater precision and better surface finish.
Automatic Tool Changer (Optional)
The Roland Automatic Tool Changer (ATC) further reduces the time and cost associated with product development. From roughing to finishing, this optional accessory enables the MDX-540 to mill prototypes completely unattended. It automatically changes up to four preset tools of different sizes. The ATC comes with an air-activated, high-precision spindle.
The MDX-540 s hi-precision spindle decreases vibration within the unit and produces extremely accurate models, ideal for complex snap-fits. With ISO15448 standard collets, the MDX-540 also generates a smooth surface finish that requires little to no post finishing work.
Roland SRP devices can mill parts in an average time of just over four hours. According to Todd Grimm s independent study of RP systems, the SRP process saves time by producing parts that are smooth and precise right off the machine. Additive systems, on the other hand, typically require time-consuming post finishing processes.
The MDX-540's emergency stop switch enables you to shut down the machine at the push of a button, making it safe to operate in any office environment. An optional safety cover makes the cutting mechanism inaccessible during operation and reduces dust in the surrounding environment. The MDX-540 is also compact enough to fit though standard-sized doors and roll from one room to the next.
Handheld Controller & Virtual Control Panel
The MDX-540 s Handy Panel and Virtual Control Panel simplify both setup and operation. The hand-held control panel can be extended from the machine, allowing you to operate the MDX-540 from a safe distance. It has a jog dial for changing spindle speed and selecting options on the menu. The Virtual Control Panel lets you control the MDX-540 directly from your PC.
Roland's international ISO certification is your quality assurance. Like all Roland products, the MDX-540 was designed and manufactured at a state-of-the-art, ISO-certified facility. Roland builds all products at its advanced Digital Factory one at a time by a single assembler just like a Rolls Royce. Attention to detail is given the highest priority.
