H1 Multi Axis CNC Controller
(6-axis, compact CNC controller)

Modified: kedd, 2009. szeptember 01.

Discontinued!


(maximum build-up, in compact form)

Based upon H1 CNC Controllers, compact design CNC Controller suitable to control maximum 6 axes(6D)! The new Controller is featured with extraordinary freedom and power. The power supply with increased power is able to provide 2 pieces full build-up H1 CNC Controller with energy. These Controllers can be used with the help of Mach3 softwares in a wide variety of configurations.

The multi axes Controller is available in two versions:

1.   H1 Multi Axis 6D
2.   H1 Multi Axis 5D

Common technical specifications:

- 6-axis, current-controlling, unipolar stepping motor controller (see H1 CNC Controller),
- Conncted to LPT port, Step/Dir system (two-way),
- Half-step driving method, with acitive resonance reduction,
- Master - Slave modes,
- 330 VA power motor supply:

with DC 30V
10A continuous load

- 5VA digital power suplly, with a 230V filter:

DC 9V

- Active Coolings.


(H1 Multi Axis 6D)

Type characteristics:

1. H1 Multi Axis 6D:

- Capable to control 6 fully independent axes (6D),
- Using 2 LPT ports,
- Independent Master - Slave Controllers,
- 2 relay outputs,
- 10 Schmitt-trigger inputs.

(Configurations)

To run the Controller 2 LPT ports are necessary!


 

By proper configuration the motor-side of the 6D System)

A Mach3 With the help of CNC controlling programmes several modes , e. g. fully independent 6D mode , or a mode in that 1 Slave axis [in Slave mode] can be connected to any Master axis can be realized:

2. H1 Multi Axis 5D

- 6 partly independent controlling possibility (5D),
- Using 1 LPT port,

(Configuration)

To run the Controller 1 LPT port is necessary.

The Slave-side LPT port connector and input terminals are not built (as they are superfluous).

The motor B of Master and Slave run in fixed synchrone mode (at the same time). The other motors are independent (5D), but they can be combined by a software (Mach3).
