MACH3 Interface Board CNC 5 Axis With Optocoupler For Stepper Motor Driver
This content will be shared across all product pages.
An interface board for CNC systems typically serves as an intermediary between the computer (or controller) and various components of the CNC machine, such as stepper motor drivers, limit switches, and other peripheral devices. It facilitates the control and coordination of movements and operations with precision.
Key Features:
- Axis Support: Designed to control up to 5 axes (X, Y, Z, A, B).
- Compatibility: Often compatible with popular CNC control software like MACH3 or similar.
- Optocoupler: Includes optocouplers to isolate and protect the sensitive electronics from high-power components like stepper motor drivers.
- Inputs and Outputs: Provides inputs for limit switches (endstops) to define the working area limits and outputs for controlling stepper motor drivers.
- Power Supply: Typically operates on a 5V or 12V DC supply, depending on the specific board and components used.
- Connector Types: Utilizes standard connectors for easy integration with CNC machines and peripheral devices.
- LED Indicators: Includes status indicators to provide visual feedback on power and communication status.
- CNC Machines: Used in various CNC applications, including milling, routing, engraving, and other precision machining operations.
- Automation: Suitable for automated systems requiring precise control over multiple axes.
- DIY CNC Projects: Ideal for hobbyists and makers building their own CNC machines.
- Industrial Automation: Deployed in industrial settings for manufacturing and production processes.
- Robotics: Integrated into robotic systems for controlling movement and tasks.
- Dimensions: Varies by model and manufacturer.
