CNC Machine Conroller Typs and Progrming Softwares List
CNC Router Machine
computer numerical control (CNC) router is a computer-controlled cutting machine which typically mounts a hand-held router as a spindle which is used for cutting various materials, such as wood, composites, aluminium, steel, plastics, glass, and foams. CNC routers can perform the tasks of many carpentry shop machines such as the panel saw, the spindle moulder, and the boring machine. They can also cut joinery such as mortises and tenons.
A CNC router is very similar in concept to a CNC milling machine. Instead of routing by hand, tool paths are controlled via computer numerical control. The CNC router is one of many kinds of tools that have CNC variants.

For a cnc router, there are many control systems to choose to use. For our products, we usually use 3 kinds. DSP handle control system, Nc studio PCI card computer control system, Taiwan Syntec control system. What is the difference between these control systems? How to choose to use? Here is our professional opinion
DSP Controlr System
When use a DSP control system, you can make the design files on your computer in your office, then copy it into a U disk. Then connect the U disk to the DSP control system via the USB interface, and load the design files to the DSP control system. The DSP control system has 512M memory space, can not put in a lot of G code in it, so you should pay attention to it. DSP handle control system is easy to operate, controlled by a handle controller, also it can work offline, save space. For 3 axis wood working machine, advertising used cnc routers, we usually adopt DSP control system.
NCstudio
When use a Nc studio control system, you can control the machine through the computer. NC studio control system in China usually called Weihong control system. It is more feasible. And you have no needs to worry about the memory space, because you use a computer. Computer control the machine via the NC studio card, you can make designs on the computer while the machine is working. If you have a lot of different products to produce, and usually need to change the program, also if prefer to computer control system, we recommend the NC Studio control system machine to you.
Syntec Controlr System :
When use a Syntec control system, you can make the design files on your computer in your office, then copy it into a CF card. Then connect the CF card to the Syntec control system via the interface. Also you can load the design files from a computer via a net cable.
The Syntec control system can control complex processing route well and you can design some simple processing route on the control system without computer. Syntec control system is a closed-loop control system, high precision, great to use with servo system. For big machine with servo motors, we recommend Taiwan Syntec control system cnc machine to you, such as auto tool changer (ATC) cnc router, big mould making cnc
Fagor Controlr System:
Fagor Automation offers an integral solution to high performance machining centers and production lathes because of our large selection of features. Our CNC systems meet the most demanding requirements. The range of CNC’s goes from conversational programming CNCs for short production series that require quickness to high-speed CNCs with nanometric accuracy for machines of high technological value or CNC systems for specific applications such as Laser cutting, etc.
etc. Relatively speaking, free CAD,CAM software may be simpler and easier to use.
Designe Making
Software that works with CNC machines is the bridge that connects your model to reality. It’s what you need to combine your motors, rails, and a 3D model. All CNC mills, and virtually every other type of CNC machine, use software to govern the process of converting a model or into motor movement. Broadly, we can divide the process into four stages:
Designing a Mode
Generating the G-code
G-code creating step and direction pulses
Stepper motors driving the final sequenced phases and current
More About the Process
Going through the phases above, the first is often made using CAD software and is a subject of its own. The second and third stages are the ones that CNC software usually deals with. Due to the variety of machines and uses, the way these are dealt with can vary. For this reason, we’ll divide our choices based on their different approaches (categories).
Some programs let you edit and input your G-code and create all the math, all the step (direction) pulses, and send them precisely timed to the stepper drivers. Others divide the work and simply send out the G-code and leave the rest of the calculations up to the firmware on a separate board.
The exception to these two methods is Mach software, which is an in-between option. Mach interprets the G-code on your computer but sends out special low-level commands to the external board, instead of trying to time the step (direction) pulses itself.
