CNC 3018 Pro Z-Axis Aluminum Sliding Table with Handwheel 0.6nm Motor

Description

Product Overview

The Doesbot 3018 Pro Z‑axis sliding table is engineered for precision and durability, featuring an all‑metal structure built from high‑grade aluminum alloy. The table incorporates a T8 stainless steel lead screw with a 4 mm pitch and a copper anti‑backlash nut, ensuring consistent, low‑friction motion across the full 90 mm stroke. A 0.6 nm handwheel provides fine manual control, while the included 1.2 A stepper motor delivers reliable, repeatable positioning for CNC applications. The design includes a 52 mm spindle hole fixture for easy integration with a variety of tools, and an X‑axis upgrade kit that supports a 10 mm diameter optical axis, expanding the machine’s capabilities. All components are packaged compactly, with a total weight of 4.44 lb and dimensions of 11.5 × 6.89 × 4.41 in, making it suitable for both desktop and portable setups.

Usage

This sliding table is ideal for hobbyist CNC enthusiasts, small workshops, and educational labs that require precise Z‑axis control. It excels in milling, engraving, PCB drilling, and prototyping tasks where accurate depth control is critical. The robust aluminum frame tolerates continuous operation, while the handwheel allows for quick manual adjustments during setup or fine‑tuning. The stepper motor’s 1.2 A rating provides sufficient torque for a range of material cuts, from soft plastics to light metals. The X‑axis upgrade kit enables users to add a 10 mm optical axis, facilitating advanced applications such as laser engraving or multi‑axis machining. Whether you are building a custom CNC router, retrofitting an existing machine, or expanding a 3‑axis system to a full 4‑axis configuration, this sliding table integrates seamlessly with standard CNC controllers and firmware.

FAQ

What size spindle can I install on this sliding table?

The table includes a 52 mm spindle hole fixture, which accommodates most standard CNC spindles up to 52 mm in diameter. If you need a different size, adapters are available from Doesbot or third‑party suppliers.

Is the stepper motor cable included, and do I need any additional wiring?

Yes, the package contains the stepper motor cable required for connection. For most setups, no additional wiring is needed beyond the standard power supply and controller connections. Detailed wiring diagrams are provided in the user manual.

Can I use this sliding table with a 12 V power supply?

The stepper motor is rated for a 12 V DC supply, and the table’s electronics are compatible with typical 12 V CNC power modules. Ensure your controller can deliver the required current (1.2 A) for optimal performance.

How does the X‑axis upgrade kit integrate with the existing Z‑axis table?

The X‑axis upgrade kit includes mounting brackets and a 10 mm diameter optical axis rail that bolt directly onto the sliding table’s base. Installation requires only basic tools and can be completed in under an hour, expanding your machine to a true 4‑axis system.

What warranty does Doesbot offer for this product?
