BenchPilot is like autopilot for Origin: clip Origin into BenchPilot to turn it into a hands-free milling machine, capable of vertical or horizontal cutting. Let BenchPilot drive Origin so you can focus on other tasks at hand. Then simply unclip Origin to use it elsewhere when needed.
Tired of driving Origin around? BenchPilot enables automated, hands-free cutting for Origin (Gen1 and Gen2) so you can focus on other tasks at hand. Clip Origin into BenchPilot and let it drive Origin from point A to point B, while Origin continues to handle the small precision movements. Think of it like autopilot for Origin.
Dimensioned and sized to fit perfectly with Shaper Workstation, BenchPilot creates a gantry-like system with horizontal and vertical milling capabilities – flexible for cutting joinery, inlays, intricate engravings, or profiles. It can also be mounted without Workstation and fit directly to your bench. It’s great for batch work or simply tedious and time-consuming jobs. Best of all, it doesn’t require complicated software, g-code, or other types of CNC programming to operate. If you know how to operate Origin, you’ll know how to operate BenchPilot.
Features:
- Drives Origin Automatically: Removes physical strain from long hours of Origin operation.
- Clip In, Unclip: Transform Origin to hands-free operation when you want to, then take Origin on the go when you need it.
- Variable feed rate control knob: Dial in the speed you want with real time control.
- Timer display: Origin will display its progress and time remaining while cutting with BenchPilot.
