Brooklyn-Audio from the Netherlands

Hi all,
My nam is Sander and I'm the founder of Brooklyn-Audio, I develop, build and sell loudspeakers for professional use.
In 2018 I bought a 9060 CNC for prototyping and get experience with CNC.
This year I bought a larger machine, a 1325 CNC. I made a huge upgrade with 12Nm closed loop steppers, a 5,5kW water cooled spindle, location pins, an ATC and the Masso G3 touch.
The machine is equipped with sensors for air pressure, coolant fluid, dust hood and on the ATC. All mechanical construction for the ATC and dusthood is made by myself. I also renew all cabling made a new control cabinet and install a wireless pendant.
At this moment I'm testing the machine, this week I hope it will be operational.

Welcome to the site Sander,

Be sure to post up some pics of your table and your speakers both. I have a 12 pack of the Cerwin Vega Pro series myself from the DJ / Pro sound days.

That is beefy machine, you are making some serious speakers then. Welkom op de website!

Impressive machine and upgrades. What have you prototyped or plan to prototype on the CNC related to loudspeakers? Enclosure designs?

Nice job did you design your own crossover networks or out source that work? Sounds impressive for sure welcome but I am a new guy too. Do you mill any interior sections like a bass port or similar. My apartment tenants son-in-law works as an audio engineer for Bose. Wild stuff welcome but I am a new guy too.

Here a serie of pictures from my CNC.
The start was the purchase of an old simple machine so that I had a good chassis.
After many hours of thinking searching to the right components, milling, welding, etcetera, this is the result at the moment.
The machine works fine till now, next step is to give it a place in my workshop and made the dust collection system. This is fully automatic with pneumatic valves and a 3kW dust collector.
I lifted the gantry 100 mm so that I have enough hight for the tool changer.


The spindle is a water cooled 5,5kW spindle, the dust shoe is made on my 3D printer and has two sensors for both up and down position.

The stepper motors on the Y-axis had some problems with the belt tension, to solve that I made a small spanner.
All motor pully's have been drilled out from 10 to 14 mm and needed a new key slot.

In the coolant circuit I added a flow sensor. The hose connections I made on my lathe.

All pneumatics are mounted on a bracket to reduce the amount of hoses and for easy acces to maintain.

The connectors on the control cabinet, at the left 2 25 pol Sub-D and a 15 pol. Sub-D to connect the Masso.

Inside the cabinet, lot of wires, it needs a clean-up but hey, this is only the test phase!

On the tool changer two sensors for the position. The tool changer is also made by me and contains 14 tool holders.

I wanted location pins but couldn't find suitable, so again a few hours behind my lathe and metal milling machine.

Nice extension for the Masso, the switches are for the parking position, switch on/off the six different zones of my vacuüm bed and to switch the vacuüm pump from manual to automatic.
