Our CNC2000 control card and software can maximally support 6-axis control at the same time. It operates under Windows such as Win10, Win7, Win2000, WinXP, Windows98, WindowsSME or Windows95. It can be used in the numerical control system of 3-axis linear motion + 3-axis rotational motion (X,Y,Z,C,A,B) or 6-axis rotational motion (6-joint mechanical arm). Also it can control all the lasers in the market such as YAG lasers, CO2 lasers, fiber lasers and ultrafast lasers.
The CNC control card is an Ethernet card which is more convenient for connections. The advantages and features of the CNC control card are
Better stability, anti-interference and precision than traditional PCI card
More convenient for connections
No need to have a PCI slot to insert the control card
Operate in all versions of Windows systems
Operate in laptop or desktop computers
Can output 0-10V analogue voltage to achieve the real-time control of the fiber laser power
Can output 24V PWM signals to control the frequency and pulse width of the fiber lasers or CO2 lasers
One control card can support 6-axis system and combined 2 cards can support 10-12-axis system
The number of the input ports has been increased to 32 to achieve multi-station control and various kinds of logic control according to different input signals
Our control cards are made with multi-layer circuit boards and power source and ground are separated into two layers. Although the card costs more, they improve the performance of anti-interference. Thus our cards can be used in precise control.
