Precision and versatility in cutting
Efficient flame and plasma cutting solutions with WinPC-NC
Flame and plasma cutting is a proven method for precisely processing metals and other materials -
both in industry and in the semi-professional sector. With the variants Professional and NET with ncNET offers WinPC-NC high-performance solutions that are specially tailored to the requirements of this process and combine efficiency with ease of use.
Technology functions for flame and plasma cutting
With WinPC-NC Professional and WinPC-NC NET users benefit from numerous specially developed functions:
Intuitive operation:
A user-friendly interface makes it easy to operate and set material- and application-specific parameters.
Material and application settings:
Cutting speed, cutting height, hole punching height, and hole punching delay can be conveniently adjusted in an overview dialog box.
Optimization of tool paths:
Direct optimization of NC data in WinPC-NC for radius corrections, approach and departure routes, and minimizing empty runs.
Support for various file formats:
Common formats such as DXF, PLT, Isel-NCP, Postscript, and DIN/ISO GCode are directly supported.
Robust and interference-resistant connections:
Particularly suitable for sensitive applications such as flame and plasma cutting or use in harsh industrial environments.
WinPC-NC Professional and CNCCON Control systems
High cutting currents occur during flame and plasma cutting, which require a robust CNC control system. WinPC-NC Professional offers the ideal solution with its control components:
CNCCON axes controller
Proven technology with clock and direction outputs for up to 4 axes, digital inputs and outputs, and optional EA expansion cards.
CNCMAX All-in-one control:
An all-in-one system with stepper motor drivers, switching relays, emergency stop buttons, and other functions for setting up flame and plasma cutting systems.
Automatic cutting height adjustment:
- Monitoring and adjustment of the cutting height using a THC height controller (e.g., from Proma).
- Manual height adjustment via buttons or keyboard.
These functions ensure that even uneven materials or workpieces on uneven tables can be processed without any problems.
WinPC-NC NET with ncNET
The WinPC-NC NET with ncNET contains special technology functions for flame and plasma cutting. Its network connection provides a stable and flexible solution:
Network connection:
Connection via a standard ethernet cable directly to the control computer or via a network switch.
Enhanced performance:
Internal clock frequency of 168 MHz for fast output of motor clock signals.
Flexible use:
Control of up to 4 axes, 10 digital inputs with low-pass filter and Schmitt trigger evaluation, and 16 digital outputs.
Future-proof:
Independent of LPT interfaces or USB connections; compatible with all common Windows operating systems from Windows 7 onwards (32-bit and 64-bit).
Motor signals are created directly in the ncNET Module, making it largely independent of Windows background processes. This ensures stable and reliable performance, even with demanding applications.
Advanced functions and signal evaluation
Both WinPC-NC Professional and WinPC-NC NET offer extensive monitoring and synchronization options:
Signal evaluation:
ARC Good and THC error signals ensure optimum quality and precise punch times.
Automatic zero finding:
Material surfaces can be measured using a special probe.
Industrial-grade connectivity:
Real-time operating system and 24V signal connection ensure reliable performance in practice.
Step-by-step process of a work order
With WinPC-NC , the cutting project process is efficient and simple:
Supported formats such as DXF, PLT, or GCode.
Cutting speed, cutting height, hole punching height, etc.
WinPC-NC can optionally probe the workpiece surface before each plunge to set the optimum cutting height.
During processing, the Z height is automatically adjusted depending on the configuration.
WinPC-NC Professional and WinPC-NC NET offer numerous possibilities for implementing your flame and plasma cutting projects efficiently and precisely.
