Queries & Answers
Is Opus a UK company?
Yes, we are based in the North East of England and we have an extensive team of engineers who work throughout the whole of the UK, including an engineer who is based in Northern Ireland.
What software is supplied?
VCarve Pro software is supplied as standard with all Side Drilling machines. VCarve Pro can be upgraded to Aspire for all those 3D machining.
We are proud partners of Cadspec who specialise in many suitable CNC software such as Fusion 360 and Autodesk.Â
We can also supply post-processors for Fusion 360 and Rhinocam if required.
Is training included?
Certainly, with a proven track record of transforming individuals into experts, our engineers are a beacon of excellence in CNCs and skill development. As part of of our service, you will receive machine training, safety management and VCarve Pro software training. Our engineers adeptly customise their training approach to align perfectly with your requirements and proficiencies!
Additionally, all Opus engineers are fully trained in Fusion 360 and can supply training in place of VCarve when necessary.
Is tooling supplied?
Understanding that each customer has unique tooling requirements, our provision of tooling is primarily geared towards the training process only. Nevertheless, we work in partnership with the established tooling supplier Cutting Edge Carbide, and we can work with you for all your tooling needs.Â
Do I need 3-phase electric supply?
Olympus CNC routers come equipped with a 3-phase connectivity setup. We can however, produce the Side Drilling machine with a single-phase configuration. It is worth noting, modifying to single-phase will entail replacing certain components with single-phase counterparts, such as the spindle, vacuum pumps, inverter, and extraction system.
What bed sizes are available?
We offer the following standard sizes, 1300x1300mm, 1300x2500mm, 1525x3050mm, 2100x3050mm, 2000x4000mm and 2000x6000mm. We also manufacture bespoke sized Olympus CNC routers. Please ask one of the team if you need a bed size which isn’t mentioned above.
