Mach 3 Based CNC Control Kits

This kit includes the major components you need for a fully capable DC CNC system, perfect for the do-it-yourselfer who wants to save money and still have all the features of a more expensive off-the-shelf system. AjaxCNC has bundled together a fast, reliable DSP-based CNC CPU card, with a 15 amp 3-axis servo drive and PLC combo, into a dead simple plug-and-play system optimized for use with Mach3 software. Not only that, we’ve taken all the work out of configuring your system: coolant, lube, spindle control, limits, and more have dedicated connections and are pre-programmed and ready to run.

Shown at left is a depiction of a typical setup for this kit – only a few simple connections are required, and all components are powered by standard household 110VAC. Install Mach3 software and AjaxCNC’s included plugin on your PC, connect it via Ethernet to the CNC CPU card, plug in your motors and switches, and you’re essentially ready to run!

Need more options or expanded PLC I/O? Want to add a 4th axis, digitizing probe, tool length setter, MPG handwheel, or operators control panel? No problem! Our kits are expandable, upgradeable, and have the flexibility to meet nearly any application.

Our Mach3 kits solve a major problem of other PC-based systems: we provide a dedicated CNC CPU card (our “ALLIN1DC″). Other systems rely on your PC’s internal processor to command servo drives — any “hiccups” or problems on your PC while running a job are instantly transferred to the drives on these “hobby” systems. AjaxCNC’s Mach3 kits also feature two-way Ethernet communication, so that Mach3 on your PC always receives position feedback and never has to guess at the position of the machine (like in other systems without two-way Ethernet communication).

• Drive, PLC, DSP motion control, spindle control all on one CNC Mill control board.
• Connects to your computer via Ethernet cable.
• DSP Motion Control
• 3-Axis Digital Servo Drive, drives up to 40 in -lb DC servos!
• Typical Machine Pre-Programmed PLC Inputs and Outputs
• Conversational Programming Software
• Installation and Operator’s manuals PDF on CD/DVD
• Full Size Wiring Schematic

This kit includes the major components you need for a fully capable CNC system (AC or DC), perfect for the do-it-yourselfer who wants to save money and supply (or re-use) their own motors and drives. AjaxCNC has bundled together a fast, reliable DSP-based CNC CPU card (our “MPU11″), with a Drive Interface and PLC combo board (our “GPIO4D”), into a dead simple plug-and-play system optimized for use with Mach3 software.

This system will communicate with any -10v to +10v drives.
