THE EASY WAY TO MORE PRODUCTIVE MILLING AND TURNING!
that's easy enough to save
you time on any small lot job.Looks like a DRO when you need to machine manually, but with handy extras!
Clear, sharp dimensions
just press ...
Manual operation plus Jog, Power Feed and Teach
... And follow the instructions
Modes keep things simple by grouping like activities together
To Program choose a geometry
To RUN a part you’ve programmed ...
... then ... answer the prompts
Graphics show you what you’ve programmed
learning is easy, even if you have never used a CnC before.
RUN! It is easier to make parts with a ProtoTRAK than with a manual machine
fewer mistakes
easier setups
less drudgery
more fun
SEE A DEMo!Everything in EnglishNo codes to memorize

You can Save programs to run in the future.
Math Help makes it easy to find dimensions missing from the print ...

We keep costs low by using the same hardware and taking the older display in exchange.
These ProtoTRAK Models may be upgraded to the ProtoTRAK EMX:• ProtoTRAK Edge• ProtoTRAK MX2• ProtoTRAK M2
Productivity is where the money is. Since 1986, the ProtoTRAK has helped thousands of shops be more profitable and successful. There are few things in life as certain as an investment in a ProtoTRAK.
