V-Core 4

Universal Frame

The same frame is used in all variants, which facilitates the interchangeability of the motion system within a brief timeframe and with minimal assembly complexity.

3 Modes:

Standard

  • Single Toolhead
  • CoreXY Kinematics

Hybrid

  1. Single Toolhead
  2. Hybrid CoreXY Kineamatics
  3. (2 extra motors for Y axis)

IDEX

  • 2 Independent Toolheads
  • Hybrid CoreXY IDEX Kineamtics

The Universal frame allows for a much simpler enclosure:

Reliability and Precision

The V-Core 4 is built with precision milled 3030 T-Slot extrusions that, in conjunction with the quick connectors, make for a simple and self aligning frame assembly.

The included metal base plates improve assembly precision and stability!

Full metal motion system

Heavy Duty linear motion!

Improved bed mount, for a highly consistent and repetable Z-Axis motion

Improved position acuracy with the Rat Rig Omron enstops

Auto Z calibration

The faster, most reliable, most accurate.....The Beacon is now the standard probe for the V-Core 4, with a high-performance machine it only makes sense to use a high-performance probe!
