This guide covers the main assembly steps for the LUNYEE 4040 Titan, from preparing the installation area, assembling the X-axis module, installing the spindle and dust collection shoe, connecting the control box, and completing the initial controller setup.
Preparation Before Starting
Before starting assembly, prepare a suitable workspace and ensure that you have all the necessary tools.
Preparing the Installation Area
After assembly, the LUNYEE 4040 Titan measures approximately 624 × 645 × 446 mm. To ensure proper ventilation, leave at least 100 mm of space around the machine, especially around the control box and spindle. Do not place the machine directly against a wall or block the vents.
Place the machine on a level, stable worktable with a load capacity of at least 50 kg. A sturdy metal worktable or thick solid wood table is recommended. A stable work surface helps reduce vibrations during machining.
Before connecting the machine to power, ensure that the wall outlet is properly grounded and that the machine's voltage selector matches the available power supply (110 VAC or 220 VAC).
Required Tools
The assembly kit includes the necessary hex keys. Please also prepare the following:
l A set of hex keys, including M3, M5, and M6 sizes
l A compact spirit level for checking that the worktable and machine are level
l A fine-point marker for marking the orientation of parts as needed
l Lint-free cleaning cloths for wiping dust and oil from the surfaces of parts
l 14 mm and 17 mm open-end wrenches for installing spindle tools
Gloves are optional and can help protect the machine surfaces during assembly.
Step1: Installing the X-Axis Module
The first major assembly step is installing the X-axis module onto the Y-axis module platform.
Positioning the X-Axis Module
Place the Y-axis module platform on a stable worktable with the motor facing the rear of the machine.
Stand the X-axis module upright and carefully position it between the slots on both sides of the Y-axis module platform.
Ensure that both sides of the X-axis module are fully inserted into the corresponding slots before letting go.
Important: During this step, support the X-axis module firmly. If it is not fully seated, the module may fall or shift during assembly.
Securing the X-Axis Module
Once the X-axis module is correctly positioned, use the included #4 hex key to install eight M5 × 16 socket head screws.
Tighten the screws securely through the mounting holes on the sides.
After tightening, check the X-axis module lightly by hand. It should be securely fixed without excessive movement or wobbling.
Step2: Installing the Spindle Tool
Install the cutting tool before attaching the spindle to the machine.
Place the spindle and cutting tool in a stable location. Use the included 14 mm and 17 mm open-end wrenches to attach the cutting tool to the spindle.
Turn the two wrenches in opposite directions to securely tighten the tool.
Use the same wrench combination when changing the cutting tool later.
Important: Always ensure that the tool nut is securely tightened before machining. Improperly tightened tools may loosen or fall during operation, creating a safety hazard.

Preparing the Spindle Clamp
Please prepare the following parts:
l φ55 spindle clamp
l Four M6 × 60 socket head screws
l Four M6 flat washers
l #5 hex key
l Assembled spindle and cutting tool
Position the clamp, washers, screws, and spindle according to the mounting orientation shown in the assembly diagram.
Installing the Spindle
Align the assembled spindle and clamp with the corresponding mounting holes on the Z-axis assembly.
Tighten the four M6 × 60 screws using the #5 hex key.
Before fully tightening the screws, check the gaps on both sides of the clamp. The gaps should be nearly equal to ensure the spindle is held evenly.
Also check the vertical position of the spindle. Ensure that the height of the red frame shown in the assembly reference diagram does not exceed 20 mm.
Once the position is confirmed, tighten the screws securely.
