Mach ajax cnc control w 3-axis servo drive & plc, MACH3
Ajax CNC introduces our new Mach 3 based, Plug and Play CNC control.
Just one cable connects your PC to a complete, closed-loop, servo based CNC control. No more missed steps, never lose position again.
Save time and money and do it yourself with a kit specifically designed for you to connect your own PC with Mach3 CNC software via a standard Ethernet cable, for full CNC capability.

This kit includes the major components you need for a fully capable DC CNC system, perfect for the do-it-yourselfer who wants to save money and still have all the features of a more expensive off-the-shelf system. AjaxCNC has bundled together a fast, reliable DSP-based CNC CPU card (our "MPU11"), with a 15 amp 3-axis servo drive and PLC combo (our "DC3IO"), into a dead simple plug-and-play system optimized for use with Mach3 software. Not only that, we've taken all the work out of configuring your system: coolant, lube, spindle control, limits, and more have dedicated connections and are pre-programmed and ready to run. Click here to see a detailed view of these connections.
Need more options or expanded PLC I/O? Want to add a 4th axis, digitizing probe, tool length setter, MPG handwheel, or operators control panel? No problem! Our kits are expandable, upgradeable, and have the flexibility to meet nearly any application.
