Motorized Z Axis Lift Platform Conversion

COMING SOON!

All in one hardware solution to control BJJCZ Lite card based systems (Lightburn / EZCad2) with emphasis on motorized Z axis lift style platform control (for galvo lasers). Designed to work with our FocuZ software controller.

* FocuZ software controller sold separately *

Features:

• Convert your manual Z axis lift platform to a motorized system with easy, saved positioning and Lightburn / axis movement events.
• Hardware controller for single Z axis with enclosure. Enclosure can be expanded to 3 axis systems (pre-built enclosures and upgrade kits planned).
• Z axis mount and motor included.
• Integrated braking system to ensure no accidental movement of the axis (no lead/ball screw clamping needed - position is held regardless if powered on/off)
• Inductive limit switches on both Z+ and Z- for greater accuracy over mechanical switches and crash avoidance.
• Upgraded external drive for Z axis control included

 Controller:

• Flashed with custom GRBL based firmware designed to work seamlessly with our FocuZ software controller (or utilize your own GRBL based G-Code sender)
  • Note: For Lightburn users your non-GRBL Lightburn setup remains non-GRBL. GRBL control is handled independently of Lightburn
    
• Two additional axis (X/Y) available on the controller to use for automation. If your current BJJCZ controller includes rotary axis support, it remains available as usual via Lightburn / EZCad2
• Closed loop limit switch availability for Z+, Z-, X+, X-, Y+, Y-. Homing on all + switches
• M-Code functionality (for uses cases including on / off relay control such as air or additional automation

Installation

• 4 holes will need to be drilled and possibly tapped (recommended) to secure the motor mount to the top of the lift column. An additional two tapped holes may be needed to secure the target (sensor plate) to the lift platform. Parts can be sent in for drilling and tapping service.
• Install a coupler and simply connect the cables for plug-and-play operation.
• Installation assistance is available both before and after purchase. Installation videos will be available as well.

FocuZ software controller (sold separately):

• Z Axis software based control designed to control BJJCZ Lite card based systems (Lightburn / EZCad2 galvo) with emphasis on Z axis lift platform control.
• 8 saved lens optimum focal positions
• Easy to find optimum focal distances with significantly greater accuracy
• Z axis offsets for setting the part/fixture height from base board
• Powerful sequencer control to run a series of operations for multiple Z height part marking (currently working with Lightburn 2.0.04 - EZCad2 control TBD)
• Terminal (MDI) control for advanced capability or quick, targeted input
• Includes additional "@" command for freehold release to idle
• Linear axis control for Z/X/Y axis
