WinPC-NC

HR-20 handwheel The HR-20 handwheel has a replaceable 3 m cable with USB connector. Its ergonomic housing makes the HR-20 comfortable to hold, and the mounting bracket stores it on the CNC machine. Select the axes on the HR-20 with the rotary switch. Windows detects the handwheel automatically. Enable it in WinPC-NC under Basic Settings – Interface. Operate your CNC machine with WinPC-NC and the HR-20 handwheel. The HR-20 handwheel supports the following functions  Select any of 4 axes Precise positioning via a high-resolution rotary encoder  Incremental motion with adjustable step size  Continuous motion while the wheel is turning  Variable-speed mode  Start/stop loaded jobs  Save and move to work zero positions  Switch spindle and coolant on/off  Adjust feed and spindle overrides during a job The HR-20 handwheel works with all WinPC-NC editions from version 2.5 onwards.

  WinPC-NC USB offers functionality comparable to Economy and requires no built-in LPT interface. It works on modern PCs, notebooks and netbooks and is supplied with the compact ncUSB box and a cable.The compact ncUSB box has 2 LPT pin-compatible interfaces for the machine. It is connection-compatible with previous versions, making it easy to upgrade from WinPC-NC Light or Economy. The USB module handles motor control independently of Windows and its processes. Step frequencies of up to 80 kHz are possible during interpolated motion.

The WinPC-NC NET edition is the latest WinPC-NC version and offers features comparable to WinPC-NC USB . In addition, WinPC-NC NET includes dedicated functions for flame and plasma cutting. Unlike previous WinPC-NC versions, the included ncNET module connects directly to the control PC or via an existing network using a standard Ethernet cable. This robust, interference-resistant connection is suited to sensitive applications such as flame and plasma cutting and to harsh industrial environments. Key features of WinPC-NC NET at a glanceStable network connection directly to the control computer or through a network switch or hubCompatible with all previous WinPC-NC versions and all components previously controlled with WinPC-NC .1:1 pin-compatible with earlier versions such as WinPC-NC Light, Economy, USB, Professional and PC-NC.Flame and plasma cutting functions are built into WinPC-NC NET .The internal 168 MHz clock supports high performance and motor pulse outputs up to 8 times faster than earlier WinPC-NC versions.Controls up to 4 axes using pulse and direction signals with 5 V TTL logicIsolated and buffered inputs and outputs for noise immunity10 inputs with low-pass filtering and Schmitt-trigger evaluation, with overvoltage protection up to 38 V DC16 digital outputs with 5 V TTL logic, rated up to ±25 mA and ±50 mA per group of 4 outputsExternal 5 V DC or 12–36 V DC supply for flexible installation in a control cabinet(Power supply sold separately)WinPC-NC runs on modern desktops, notebooks and netbooks with 32- or 64-bit Windows.   Motor control is handled by the ncNET module and is largely independent of Windows and its background processes and applications. With WinPC-NC NET , no LPT port or USB connection is required.WinPC-NC NET places no special requirements on the computer hardware and runs on current Windows versions. In addition, WinPC-NC NET continues to be developed.
