I run my practical cnc with it. It is incredibly easy to use for 3 axis applications and works great, although the laser stops caused to many issues.

I use win-cnc to send and receive programs with our machines.

Works well and has some handy tools when writing programs.

Please feel free to post any specific questions.

I have wincnc and have problems with it. Does anyone knows what other programs or controller i can use with this machine. Please advise and how hard or what are the steps i need to convert it to use another program like EMC2 ubanto.

Hi,

I am a Journeyman in NY and I use that software to transfer programs to our Citizen machines. Most likely your software is not set up for your specific machine type. If you would like you can e-mail me a more detailed description of your issue and I will help you through it.

I can see a bit of con fusion here.
Wincnc from Microsystems is a pc based control, And there is also a program called wincnc that is for transferring files from a pc to a cnc machine.

JGTrooper,
I have a router running wincnc, I temporarily hooked up a pc running Mach3 to test it and found the Wincnc is better.

What trouble are you having with your machine?

Later,
Eric

Does anyone know if the WinCNC used in the super high quality German made Datron milling machines is the same WinCNC from MicroSystems?
