Does anyone use WinCNC?

Here is a link to their site.

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

Hello every one thank you for all info. I believe i have resolve my problem. I still have a problem with Torch Height Control. Trying to cut metal but height control is not working is there something i need to look at.

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