1. Computer control
That is, by installing a dimensional macro control card on the PCI slot of the computer motherboard, and installing a dimensional macro software driver on the computer to control the walking of the XYZ axis of the engraving machine and the rotation of the spindle motor, you can preview the processing effect, you can see the processing trajectory at any time, and if the program loading error can be corrected in time; Dimensional macro control system is currently engraving machine control system widely used system, user-friendly interface, simple and convenient operation, complete functions, high program compatibility, all kinds of engraving CAM software can be directly or indirectly imported. The disadvantage is that it is necessary to configure a computer separately, but fortunately, the computer configuration requirements are very low, and for customers with less capital budget, they can configure second-hand obsolete computers by themselves. Now Wei Macro has launched a variety of versions of different control software and hardware, including multi-axis linkage.
2. Handle control
It can be held in the hand to control the motion of the engraving machine. Save space, do not occupy the computer; The disadvantage is that the operation is relatively troublesome, after all, all the functions are assembled on a control panel, and it is easy to press the wrong function key if the operation is not skilled. Widely used with a variety of engraving machines (including four-axis linkage), no need to occupy a separate computer, greatly reducing the footprint of the equipment, in addition to the knife is more convenient. The disadvantage is that there is no preview and other functions, and the interface is not as intuitive as the computer.
3. All-in-one control
Independent integrated design, the use of industrial computer, PLC and other integrated control, rich interface, complete functions, can achieve multi-axis control and automatic tool change. Mainly used in high-end engraving machine, machining center, and part of the mold machine engraving machine, the anti-interference ability of the control system, as well as various aspects of performance, control accuracy, etc. are better than other categories, the system is not the mainstream in the CNC operating system, but in the engraving machine control system is the mainstream of this category, the disadvantage is that the price is high, The operation tends to be more cnc CNC machine tools, and the operation is not as simple as the former for some customers.
These three control systems, which are widely used in woodworking engraving machines, have their own advantages and disadvantages, so everyone must be clear about their own machine needs when choosing. Users who use woodworking engraving machines to open materials generally choose all-in-one machine control, industrial panels, and customers who do relief and grille generally choose computer control or handle control.
