Device Rejuvenates Legacy Control System
An old but still very usable vertical turning center became easier to operate, and actually realized more cutting time, thanks to a control retrofit that cost only hundreds of dollars.

Controller For Virtually All CNCs
Calmotion says its Lancnc controller provides fast drag-and-drop, bi-directional file transfers between virtually any CNC and PC on a network without additional software. Also, the controller uses a 2-GB secure digital (SD) card to store programs at the CNC, allowing access to program information without using network resources.

Rotary Table Absorbs High Shock Loads
Calmotion’s 5C rotary table is pre-wired for Fanuc and Fadal CNCs. The rotary table is designed to absorb higher shock loads—especially axial loads—and eliminate leaky seals, thereby increasing its life, the company says. The table features heat-treated steel and throated helix gears which increase the contact area.

Controller For Fadal CNCs
  The LANCNC-FAD controller allows drag-and-drop, bi-directional file transfers between Fadal CNCs and network servers without additional software. The controller uses a Secure Digital (SD) card to capture programs from the network server, allowing drip-feed programs to continue even if the network crashes. The

USB Reader Inputs CNC Programs From A Flash Drive
USB flash memory devices (also called flash drives or data sticks) are a convenient way to move files from a laptop to a desktop PC, from a camera to a PC and so on. They can also be handy for storing and moving part programs for CNC machines on the shop floor.
