Our CNC Controllers consist of a microcomputer, running Actek FLEXcam software, an embedded microprocessor based controller and are modular in construction.

Our general controller architecture consists of:

A microcomputer, running Actek FLEXcam software configured to provide a graphical user interface to the machine to be controlled. This element of the system is supplied in the form of a Windows based PC with all of the attendant software compatibility & interconnection abilities that technology provides.
An embedded microprocessor based controller with its own real-time operation system that cannot be impacted via typical Windows OS problems. This element of the system is supplied in the form of a controller which includes functionality to control 1-8 servos & an array of analog and discrete I/O. The "real-time" controller is interfaced to be the "front-end" computer via a high-speed serial link (RS 232, RS422, and RS485 depending on configuration).
All System elements are designed to be modular in construction so that modules from any part of the product line are compatible with complementary modules from any other part of the product line. Several packaging variations are provided in order to optimize the cost effectiveness of any selected configuration.

FLEXcnc Controllers

The photo shows a typical set of devices, all of which are designed to be easily installed in readily available, traditional, industrial cabinetery. A set of such equipment would include:

FLEXcnc2-3 Axis

1-MCNC112B Operator display (FP color) with or without touch screen
1-MCNC-PC Industrial PC with Actek FLEXcam software package (configured)
1-MCNC100 series controller (MCNC010 through MCNC180B) & any necessary I/O expansion cards

PScnc Controllers

The photo shows a typical set of devices, all of which are designed to minimize the integration time and costs, especially in an OEM machine situation and especially in the case of "light-duty" machine. A set of such equipment would include:

PScnc-PMTI

1-PMT300 Operator control terminal including LCD display combined with a control oriented keypad. Typically a customer furnished "white box" PC with Actek FLEXcam software package is used when necessary to write or down-load programs to the machine.
1-PScnc-III series controller (PScncn120B through PScnc 160B) and any necessary I/O expansion cards.
1-PScnc-III series controller (PScncn120B through PScnc 160B) and any necessary I/O expansion cards.
