Universal
program
Does not require
additional
hardware
WinPC-NC is a software program which takes any standard personal
computer and turns it into a universal NC control system for up to 3
axes.
WinPC-NC Light is operating without any external hardware and is
able to control a CNC machine or the drives directly by the
controlling signals of the LPT printer port of the Windows PC.
Realtime abilities of WinPCNC Light however require a personal
computer equipped with at least 1 Ghz clocking frequency and
operating systems of Win2000 or WinXP.
By 3 stepper motor axes it is possible to realize any 2.5D mechanics
and to use them for various functions. Standard applications contain:
• Drilling • Milling
• Plotting • Cutting foils
• Grinding • Engraving plates
• Dispensing
Extensive
parameters
Clearly
structured
operator interface
Runs on any
modern PC
The extensive range of options for setting parameters means the
program can be adapted to almost all 2-3-axis machines.
WinPC-NC offers a well thought-out and modern operating concept
incorporating drop-down menus and a windows management system
with mouse and keyboard operation. This makes it easy to learn and
master the program.
All that is required for operating WinPC-NC is a commercially
available personal computer with a hard disk, LPT printer port, any
graphics card and MS-Windows 2000 or XP.
