Introduction
Congratulations! Whether you bought the ProtoTRAK KMX CNC as a retrofit or as the
CNC integrated into the TRAK Knee Mill or TRAK Bed Mill, you have an excellent
toolroom machine. The ProtoTRAK KMX has an easy-to-use interface and features that
make knee and bed mill work faster and more productive.
Manual Machining
is always available and made easier with features like power feed,
100 i
nch per minute rapids, and all the best features of sophisticated DRO’s.
Two-Axis or Three-Axis Machining
is available at the touch of a button for the
prototyping and moderately complex, low volume work that is typically done on knee
mills or bed mills.
The operation of the ProtoTRAK KMX CNC has been painstakingly refined to bring you
the most useful CNC technology while retaining the ease of use that has made
ProtoTRAK the top brand in controls for low volume production.
This manual will describe the operation of all basic and optional features in the
