The MC range of controls were high speed, very high performance multiple axes ( 1 - 6 ) motion controllers. The very high performance was obtained by using multiple 16 bit micro processors together with NEE designed Application Specific Integrated Circuits ( ASIC ). MC Units have been optimised to rapidly execute data produced by CAD/CAM software.

The full range of motion controls ( MC ) are:

MC 3P up to 3 Axis Plotter Controller where the third axis can either control a tangential knife or a Z axis.

MC 4P up to a 3 Axis Plotter Controller plus beam axis when 2 controller axes are used to drive a plotter beam, i.e. one at each end.

MC 3M up to 3 Axis Machine Controller.

MC 6M from 4 to 6 Axis Machine Controller.

MC Controller range features:

PROGRAMMABLE SYSTEM PARAMETERS- Enables the MC to be precisely matched to machine parameters on installation e.g. number, type and movement limits of axes, acceleration /deceleration profiles, angular dependent vector intersect velocity, datum features etc.

Dual RS232 ports :- 1 Host computer port, 1 'pass-through' port enabling additional peripherals to be 'daisy chained'.

INTEGRAL MOTOR DRIVES - Either up to 4 small to medium STEPPER motors or up to 3 small to medium power DC servo drives can be fitted internally making the MC a complete integrated control package.

CONTINUOS CONTROLLED MOVEMENT - Dual 16 bit microprocessor system provides continuous machine movement at feeds up to 30,000 steps or encoder pulses per second.

HIGH SPEED BLOCK PROCESSING - Typically up to 100 blocks ( programme lines ) can be computed and executed per second.

The MC controllers are compatible with a range of stepper and DC drive units. For small to medium motor power applications the MC is generally supplied complete with motor drives in a robust enclosure with the host computer connections on the unit front and other external connections on the unit rear.
