From Your Mind to the Mill

Whether for product designers, engineers and other professionals, or for students and educators, the MDX-540 combines advanced capabilities with ease-of-use for the precision milling of a wide variety of plastics, woods, metals and more. Although the MDX-540 is a highly advanced 4-axis desktop CNC device, it offers a simplified operating system plus included SRP Player CAM software to make prototype production an easy and stress-free experience. The rotary axis (optional), automatic tool changer (optional), and milling speeds can all be controlled via a simple Virtual Control Panel or the user-friendly software.

Choose the MDX-540 Model That's Right For You

All MDX-540 models deliver superior performance with a combination of Digital AC Servo motors and Feed Forward Processing commonly used in larger, more expensive machines. In addition to the base-model MDX-540, you can choose from the following options:

MDX-540S
Produce even smoother curves and finer details with the addition of higher accuracy ballscrews for enhanced precision and repeatable production capabilities.

MDX-540A
Includes an Automatic Tool Changer for uninterrupted milling.

MDX-540SA
Produce smoother curves and finer details with the addition of higher accuracy ballscrews for enhanced precision and repeatable production capabilities, plus an Automatic Tool Changer for non-stop production.

Quality and Reliability are Standard

Like all Roland DG devices MDX-540 is designed and built in Japan at a state-of-the-art, ISO-certified facility. As further evidence of unmatched reliability, the MDX-540 comes with a One-Year Trouble-Free Warranty and industry-best customer service and support. Roland DG international ISO certifications are your guarantee of superior quality.
