Beware if you are converting an old NC machine whose servos may use resolvers to measure position of the axes as you will have to provide a complete new drive for each axis. Virtually all stepper motor drivers work like this, as do modern DC and AC servo systems with digital encoders. The drivers for your machine's axis motors must accept March3's step pulses and direction signals. Mach3 generates step pulses and direction signals to perform the steps defined by a GCode part program and sends them to the port or motion controller board. Use of a motion controller board can remove considerable processing load from the computer, so you may want to consider using one to get the performance advantage even if your computer does have a parallel port available.
If your computer does not have a parallel port, you can buy a motion controller board from a third-party vendor that uses a USB port or Ethernet for communication. Mach3 and its parallel port driver communicate with the machine hardware through one parallel ports or printer ports. To run Mach3, you need a PC running the Windows operating system with at least a 1GHz processor with a 1024 x 768 pixel resolution screen. Mach3 is a type of CNC software that runs on a PC and turns it into a very powerful and economical machine controller. Converts a standard PC to a fully featured, 6-axis CNC controller. Allows direct import of DXF, BMP, JPG, and HPGL files through Laz圜am.ġ2. Customizable M-Codes and Macros using VBscript.ġ1. Generates Gcode via Laz圜am or Wizards.ġ0. Three-dimensional dynamic display tracking, automatic tool setting, program jump execution (breakpoint memory). The standard PC computer is completely converted into a full-function CNC controller, and the highest 6-axis CNC control, Directly support a variety of DXF, BMP, JPG, HPGL file format input, visual G code display, direct G code generation, spindle speed control, multiple relay control, manual pulse generation, including a large number of processing strategies, video display, and touch screen, Full screen display, digitization.
Mach3 CNC controller software is an open CNC system, simple operation, convenient maintenance, open, stable performance, and low-cost new CNC system. And it has many functions such as numerical control testing, high precision machining of complex parts and clearing of corresponding data. The software interface is simple and intuitive, and users can adjust the corresponding parameters according to their needs. Mach3 is a powerful and practical CNC controller software designed to control CNC router, CNC mills, CNC plasma, CNC lathe, and other CNC machine tools.
