QKNC+ EtherCAT CNC System

QK-NC Plus EtherCAT CNC System is based on the German Beckhoff CNC platform, developed with Beckhoff. It is a CNC system specially for plasma oxyfuel cutting machine.

The system is based on PC-based control technology and high-speed EtherCAT fieldbus technology. It has high-quality motion control dynamic performance. It could upgrade the potential performance of plasma to has high speed and good efficiency. It is perfectly suitable for the fine plasma cutting equipment. The whole system perfectly integrates the CNC control height control and all common I/Os into one platform. With its modern language network and drive technology interface (EtherCAT fieldbus), the small and compact CNC system meets Industry 4.0 and Networking requirements.
