All cam functions can use flat, ball, radiused and V-pointed cutters for all tool path calculations. Includes customizable post processor, program editor, simulation of CNC programs in 2D and 3D. Software is internet download only. A code will be e-mailed to license the program.

NOTE: This item is NOT refundable. Please try out the software BEFORE you buy it. After we send the non-expiring code we will not honor any requests for refund. Note: The software is only available via download. Software on a disc will NOT be shipped to you 30 day full working Controller 4 axis continuous motion contouring Windows controller. Utilizes the serial port. Controller can produce step and direction pulses at up to 125000 steps per second.

External microprocessor based controller is flash reprogrammable so future software and firmware enhancements are automatically uploaded into controller. Operates off of a USB port with purchase of optional USB to serial adaptor. Integrated probing function automatically scans a 3D surface, compensates for probe tip diameter and creates a 3D.stl file for remachining or for use in a CAD design program. Has 7, g-code controlled, external relay functions built in. Spindle CW, CCW, Flush coolant, Flood Coolant, Aux1, Aux2, Aux3. 5 volt PWM spindle speed control output. Logical inputs include 4 axis homing switches, Emergency Stop, Feed Hold, Cycle Start, and Probe/Limit.

Board has a single quadrature encoder input ( for future use). A user programming API is available for customization of the controller functionality. Optional 3D contact probe is available (Probe requires software compatible with probing unless both DeskCNC and controller are purchased.) Requires 32 or 64 bit Windows OS XP through Windows 7-10 Related Products.

As of this date the DeskCNC, TP-100 touch trigger probe is released. This device is a mechanical contact probe capable of scanning a contoured surface at rates of 20,000 points or more per hour. It is integrated with the DeskCNC controller and software program. Routines, within the DeskCNC software, permit jog selection of scanning zones and then fully automated raster collection of surface data, resulting in the creation of a machinable,.STL file. Probe tip radius compensation and waterline probing are also included.

The probe has a precision ruby tip for reduced wear and increased accuracy. The shank is 3/8 inch diameter, to accommodate the capacities of the small desktop mills such as the Sherline, Taig, and MaxNC. With an expected useful life in excess of 10,000,000 data points, it is suitable for both commercial and hobby use. In addition to the probing capabilities, the package also includes a base and contact tip that converts the probe into a precision tool length setter.

In this mode tool lengths are automatically measured and recorded in the DeskCNC tool table. Price is $399 in single quantities, DeskCNC customers are eligible for a discounted price of $275.
