The AMC-E is a 'controller only' pcb intended for system integrators to use alongside our integrated 3 axis micro stepping driver and power supply board, or a wide variety of third party stepper drives, to control 2 or 3 axes of motion. The AMC-E stepper board supports up to 4 drives. The fourth drive is intended to be used as a second drive on one of the other 3 axes permitting for example, gantry's to be driven at both ends.

The AMC-E series controller is a natural progression from the "bookcase" enclosed AMC-B controller. The AMC-B was the first departure from the philosophy of only building 'all-in-one' enclosure style machine control solutions. These developments have evolved due to the demands for such NEE products from high volume OEM customers.

The AMC-E uses the same RISC processor technology as other controllers in the AMC range, providing system integrators with the same performance benefits. The systems are designed for Original Equipment Manufacturers who need the features, performance, and flexibility with PC compatibility provided by the latest technology, all at low cost.

Each AMC-E controller set comprises of two connected printed circuit boards, an axis and system interface board, and a RISC processor board. The system has an integral PLC which is easily configured using software supplied, to automatically control and monitor machine operations such as cutter control and monitoring, dispensing control, laser control, automatic part loading and unloading, and automatic tool changing.

AMC-E controllers are CE certified and some EMC immunity is provided. Full immunity will only be available when the boards are properly housed, when correct shielded cabling is used, and when I/O is filtered. Combined with one of NEE's handpad options, or their HMI panel design software, WinAMC®, the AMC-E is ideal for any sized machine builder.

Please see the AMC family range document for full technical specs of all the AMC controllers to see which will best meet your requirements. Our engineers are available to modify or add features, as you require.

• Increased machine productivity ( 300% on 3D work is not unusual ).
  
  
• Smooth, accurate quiet machine operation giving precise parts.
  
  
• The ability to use the system with a wide range of part generation and machine control software - we can even customise your software if you require.
  
  
• The control can be used with a wide range of motors and drives. If required we can supply these items separately, including cabling, or in an integrated enclosure at very competitive prices.
  
  
• Numerous special options plus Expanded I/O are available to meet the demands of a wide range of applications. See our AMC family range document for details.
  
  
• Our systems are designed and built to perform faultlessly for years. They include optically isolated Axes, analog, I/O and RS232 and utilise indirect edge connectors.
  
  
• NEE perpetually invests in product development that results in frequent system improvements and upgrades.
  
  
• Output signals can switch on the fly, that is operate when the axes motors are running.
