Universal

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 4
axes.
WinPC-NC Economy 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. Using
two LPT ports there are more input signals and additional outputs
available.
Realtime abilities of WinPCNC Economy however require a
personal computer equipped with at least 1 Ghz clocking frequency
and operating systems of Win2000 or WinXP.
By 4 steppermotor axes it is possible to realize any 3D mechanics
and to use them for various functions. Standard applications contain:
• Drilling • Milling
• Plotting • Cutting foils
• Grinding • Engraving plates
• Dispensing • Sharpening coin dies
Extensive

operator interface
Runs on any
modern PC
The extensive range of options for setting parameters means the
program can be adapted to almost all 2-4-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, USB
port, any graphics card and MS-Windows 2000 or XP.
