Advanced CNC Router Control
An Advanced CNC Control System For Apollo CNC Routers
Our Apollo CNC router range comes with our in-house developed CNC Motion Control called M-TECH.
M-TECH combines a full feature set allowing for full control of your CNC router system and the ability for us to add new features via software and hardware updates in the future.
Even though M-TECH comes with a myriad of features, the system is built to enable even novice users to get the best out of their new machine with very little effort.
M-TECH Features
01.
Touch screen enabled
Control your CNC router via touch operation (including traditional methods such as mouse and keyboard).
02.
Built on Windows PC
Familiar operating environment — easy to use, not many people/operators don’t know how to use MS Windows.
03.
Network capable
Connect the machine to your network — easy transfer files from your design department to the CNC.
04.
Advanced vacuum
Control your vacuum zones via touch — vacuum can also be automatically operated when the machine starts and stops (energy saving and convenience)
05.
Run third-party software
As this is a windows based machine, run other software such as V-carve or Alphacam, directly at the machine.
06.
Workpiece simulation
Get a 3D view of your project and simulate processing just before cutting. Saving on waste materials by checking for errors before you commence.
07.
Project duration
Easily see how long the cutting process will take with accurate time measurements.
08.
Advanced algorithms
The system constantly reads g-code multiple steps ahead of the actual movement, analysing and adjusting pre the event. Extremely efficient operation.
09.
Enhanced spindle control
As our motion control system uses an analogue rather than digital signal, you can get granular control over your spindle speed, right down to 1 rpm increments.
10.
Enhanced tool change control
Direct control over tool changes including speed, distance and clearance.
11.
Accurate tool measurement
Extremely accurate tool length measurement, taking tool wear into consideration.
12.
Our built-in G-code editor
Enables the user to make alterations to the g-code. Including a jump to line function.
