AXYZ Automation
AXYZ Automation got started in the late 1980s as its founders saw an opportunity to combine the power of microcomputer technology with innovative processing machines to handle new demands in automation.
Serving both industry as well as education, an AXYZ automation solution empowers students with the skills they need to be successful in today’s high-tech industry.
From architecture to woodworking to metal fabrication, the experience students gain by using an AXYZ router table is directly transferable into the workforce. AXYZ even maintains a job posting service and encourages placement of AXYZ trained students with AXYZ clients. With their worldwide customer base and more than 3000 CNC routers installed, this represents a sizable job market.

|
An AXYZ solution is flexible enough to support the needs of all your departments - the Millennium table has a small footprint, and can even be easily moved about your building!
And with ToolPath software, students can design with the school software that they are currently familiar with, and then output directly to the CNC router table!
AXYZ recognizes the unique requirements of educational institutions and has developed a complete Instructor Support module offering free instructor training, comprehensive instructor and student manuals, and both written and practical student tests.

This might just be the machine that will revolutionize your woodshop! Developed by NASA robotics engineers, the CarveWright Woodworking System is a workhorse that creates complex carvings with ease.
Use the point-and-click CarveWright Project Designer software to create your project. Import images from an existing library or design your own using the 2D drawing capabilities. For further inspiration, you'll find hundreds of unique 3D patterns available for testing, download and purchase. |
 |
Although designed to handle woodworking, with CarveWright you also have the flexibility to work with soft materials including foam and certain plastics. After you create your project, save it to a memory card that fits right into the machine and an LCD display walks you through each step. It's that easy! And with a compact footprint of 15"x18"x26" you save space while still being able to work pieces up to 14.5" wide, 5" thick, and essentially any length.
|
 |
This system is also perfect for the educational environment and is currently being used in hundreds of classrooms around the country. In addition to its durability, compact size, and economical cost, students and teachers alike will appreciate the engaging, hands-on curriculum package that was developed by technology educators.
