- Operating System & Software
- Our CNC controls are PC based with Microsoft Windows operating system and state of the art Mach3 CNC control software. Being Windows based anyone with basic computer skills can learn how to use our CNC controls. We pre-configure our CNC controls with standard parameters, so little setup is needed. All our controls come with standard settings and interfaces for lathes, grinders, mills, routers, plasma, and amoung others.
- Unique Features
- Some unique features of this control include virtually unlimited file storage space of 100GB (10,2400 MB), flange mount chassis for a fast and easy installation, and very compact design so it will easily fit inside a industrial enclosure.
- G-code
- Our controls accept standard Fanuc style G-code programming. You will need a program to convert your dxf files into G-code. You can use a Fanuc post-processor or many Cad Cam programs are now making post-processors for Mach3. Our controls also include many conversational programming functions.
- Customization
- It is easy to change settings on our controls, add more inputs/outputs, axes, and many other settings. Our controls also come with a screen editor, so you can edit any of the standard screens. Our controls are being used in many custom applications every day.
- Non-Proprietary
- All PC parts used in our controls are non-proprietary and can be purchased at local suppliers for your convenience.
- Digital or Analog?
- Before you buy this control, you will need to know if your drives take a digital signal (step and direction) or analog signal (±10V) input from the control. Most older servo drives take an analog signal. All stepper drives, and many new servo drives take a digital signal. If your drives are digital, then this control will work for you! Otherwise please look into our Analog CNC control or into a full retrofit package with a CNC control with drives and motors.
- Wiring
- After figuring out if your drives are analog or digital you will need to find wiring diagrams for them. If you need help finding out what type signal your drives take or how to wire them please feel free to contact us. We will need to know the drive brand and model number. If you can send us your drive and motor we can make custom cables to go from our CNC control to your drive.
- Warranty
- All of our controls come with a full 1 year warranty. Each control is tested thoroughly before shipment.
