Stand-alone multi-axis stepper motor Motion Controller / Machine Controller

This low cost motion controller is ideal for small and medium sized multi-axis stepper motor driven machines performing engraving, routing, profiling, milling, dispensing and cutting operations

The same control is the ideal easy retrofit for dramatically improving older machines productivity, ease of use, and capability.

The amazing power of our AMC motion controllers can best be appreciated when machining complex 3D models and moulds.

Our customers frequently benefit from machine productivity improvements of 300, 400 and even 500% by replacing other motion controllers with ours, transforming the economics of making 3D parts

The AMC A is essentially an AMC E with a 3 or 4 axis micro-stepping driver, an optional DC Brushed or Brushless spindle motor driver and power supply, all in a compact rectangular enclosure.

The AMC-A uses the same modern RISC processor technology as other controllers in the AMC range, giving machines very high performance and productivity. The systems are designed for Original Equipment Manufacturers who need industrial quality machine controllers, open architecture, performance, reliability and flexibility all at lowest cost.

AMC A's have an integral PLC, which is easily configured using ESE software supplied with each motion controller, to automatically control and monitor machine operations such as cutter control and monitoring, dispensing control, laser control, automatic part loading and unloading, automatic tool changing and numerous other functions.

The AMC A is generally controlled directly from the PC using our WinAMC custom control panel software. The AMC A can also be used together with one of NEE's handpad options.

The AMC family range document provides full technical specs of all our AMC Motion Controllers. Our engineers are available to modify or add features, as you require.

Your benefits will include:

  • Increased machine productivity (300% on 3D work is not unusual).

  • Smooth, accurate quiet machine operation giving precise parts and long tool life.

  • Ultrafine smooth movement resolution - sounds more like a servo system. Resolution is 0.0005mm with 5mm ball-screws.

  • Optional integral spindle motor drive for brushed and brushless motors of up to 200W

  • Optional Manual Control Unit

  • PC based Custom control panels option (WinAMC) in any PC supported language

  • Open architecture - supports a wide range of part generation and machine control software - we can even customise your software if you require.

  • Numerous special options plus Expanded I/O are available to meet the demands of a wide range of applications. See our AMC family range document for details.

  • Output signals can switch on the fly, that is operate when the axes motors are running.

  • Our systems are designed and built to perform faultlessly for years. They include optically isolated Axes, analog, I/O and RS232 and utilise indirect edge connectors.

  • NEE perpetually invests in product development that results in frequent system improvements and upgrades.
