3 Axis Servo Control System (CP-4A01-1-3080VA1

A wide variety of Servo motors are available

Description
The FlashCut CNC Servo Control System. featuring Flashcut CNC Software and USB Signal Generator, drives any machine tool with smooth power and precision. Closed loop PID control provides accurate positioning even under the most strenuous conditions. FlashCut offers a wide range of servo motors to suit your needs including NEMA frame sizes 23, 34 and 42. The FlashCut CNC Servo Control System also works with most existing brush-type or brushless servo motors. Whether you have a miniature table top mill or lathe, a Bridgeport-type mill or a full sized router, our servo drive systems have the right power to suit your needs.

The FlashCut Servo Control Box comes completely wired with a power supply in an anodized aluminum chassis. Our motors come cabled and shielded, ready to plug directly into the FlashCut Servo Control Box. All servo systems come complete with the acclaimed FlashCut CNC Windows Software and USB Signal Generator giving you the ultimate in ease of use, power and flexibility.
