XC909MD Multi-channel EtherCAT Bus Numerical Control System

The XC909MD multi-channel bus numerical control system is a new generation of numerical control system developed by our company. It can support up to four channels for engraving, milling, drilling, and tapping. It adopts the EtherCAT bus, utilizes real-time multi-task control technology and hardware interpolation technology, with full linkage and high-speed short-line segment forward algorithm. The interpolation accuracy is 0.0001mm, and the maximum speed is 30 meters per minute. It is the best choice for engraving machines, machining centers, drilling and tapping centers, CNC milling machines, and CNC drilling machines.
