In this article, we will take an in-depth look at the Wattsan M1 1313—one of the leading models among CNC milling machines.
What materials can be processed?
The machine is designed for cutting, engraving, and 3D machining of various materials, including wood, plastic, composites, and soft metals such as aluminum.
Key features of the M1 1313
The Wattsan M1 1313 is a three-axis CNC milling machine equipped with a 3 kW water-cooled spindle by default. The spindle operates at speeds of up to 24,000 RPM, with a maximum working height of 300 mm. For enhanced performance, an optional 4.5 kW spindle can be installed, which accelerates processing on certain materials and makes the machine more suitable for aluminum machining.
The working area of the machine measures 1,300 × 1,300 mm, providing ample space for various applications. The worktable is equipped with a T-slot slatted cover and a vacuum hold-down system, ensuring secure material fixation during processing.
In terms of construction, the M1 1313 is a heavy-duty machine, weighing 680 kg. Its reinforced frame is strengthened with 8-10 mm thick center crossbars, providing durability and reducing vibrations for improved precision. The entire frame undergoes thermal stress relief processing, ensuring long-term stability against mechanical and temperature-related deformations.
The portal side posts are made from thickened cast iron, enhancing the machine’s rigidity. The gantry system is powered by two-phase stepper motors, coupled with planetary gearboxes and Leadshine drivers. Upon request, the machine can be upgraded with hybrid stepper motors or servo motors, extending its lifespan and reducing maintenance requirements.
The linear motion system features 20 mm European-quality guide rails, minimizing resistance and ensuring smooth movement. The combination of helical racks and high-precision guide rails allows for maximum positioning accuracy of 0.05 mm. To maintain long-term precision, all guide rails and helical racks are robotically milled and polished. The machine is also equipped with a mechanical lubrication system to prolong component life and maintain operational efficiency.
Control system of the M1 1313
The machine can be controlled using either an NC Studio or DSP controller. By default, it comes with NC Studio, which allows for direct connection to a computer via USB and D-sub interfaces.
Optional features
The Wattsan M1 1313 can be customized with a range of additional features to meet specific production needs. These include:
- Dust extraction (aspiration) system
- Rotary axis for cylindrical workpieces
- Vibration-damping supports
- Gantry leveling system
- Tool height sensor
- Coolant system for metal processing
Our engineers and technical support team are always available to assist with machine configuration and provide expert guidance.
