PC based CNC control
Designed voor usage with external USBCNC CPU.

The result is hickup-free motion with higher speeds.

Design your next part while USBCNC is doing its job.

Look Ahead feed calculates the optimum path, and delivers the best possible performance. Especially CAD/CAM generated programms consisting of small line pieces will benefit immensely. 

On the Real-time graphic display you can whatch what the machine is doing. The graphic screen also visualises the movement limits of the machine.

Klick on a screen to see it in original size.

The operate window. All machine operations take place from this window. In this window you can do everything mouse-less with function keys very quickly.

In the program screen, DXF and HPGL files can be imported.

Simple CAD/CAM functionality.

• DXF
• HPGL
• Engraving
• Drilling
• Profiling/cutting
• Pocket milling

The Tools screen for milling. Tool data is entered here.

Variabele watch window. During test, the G-Code program can be single stepped and the variables can be watched here.

USBCNC has extended G-Code programming capabilities. During test/debug the variables can be watched while single stepping the programm.

• # variables
• Subroutines sub - endsub - gosub
• While - endwhile
• If - else - endif
• Mathematical functions
• User dialogs from the G-Code trough function "msgdlg". You can make your own wizzards with this.
• Automatic tool change is aloso defined this way, direct in the G-Code macro file.

• Choice of visible axes, x,y,z,a,b,c
• Nr of steps/mm per axis.
• Machine reach per axis
• Max speed and Acceleration per axis
• Homing speed, direction, position
• Backlash compensation per axis.
• Interpolation mode for A-axis: 4th axis milling, 4e as linear (Foam cutter), standard rotation axis.
• Lookahead feed optimalisation angle.
• IO modes and inversion.
• Jog keys inversion for machines with moving bed.
• PWM mode voor spindel speed control
• Name of file to strore digitize data.
• Password to prevent changes of the settings bij machine operators.
• Handwheel parameters.
• Favorite editor e.g. notepad++
