The MC3E machine controller was developed for very cost conscious automation applications requiring modest machine performance.

This small, standalone integrated controller, will allow you to automate small 1, 2 or 3 axis stepper motor driven machines, monitor machine sensor and switch signals, and control machine function via actuators.

XYZ coordinate tables; plastic and wood and metal milling and routing: drilling; drill sharpening; valve control; pipe bending; 'hot wire' cutting; 'programmable angle' cutting; process control; and scientific applications.
