Hello. Just wanted to let everyone know that all new CNC software versions with added features have been just posted for you to download on the AjaxCNC.com support site. New versions for CNC10 based and MPU11 based systems have been posted, Get them while their hot.:-) Also, big news is that we've completely restructured our CNC Software pricing and converted several key options into standard items that are included with any control kit purchase. For instance. Work Coordinate Systems G54,55,56,57,58,59 is now a standard feature, Subroutines and Macros is now a standard feature, S function output standard, compression tapping standard and we increased our standard G code file size to 4 MB (which should cover 99%) of users out there and reduced the cost of ALL of our other software options significantly. New prices are up on the web now. www.ajaxcnc.com.
Upcoming features for CNC10 users, we have (running in beta) a 2D De-skew feature which is used to correct for machine tool misalignment between the X and Y axis. So if your machine is not built perfectly square the software will now correct for it. its very easy to use and with basic measurement tools anyone can now make their machine cut perfect squares. I've used this on several old routers that were out .2mm and .8 mm over 400mm square, now they cut perfectly square, it takes only 10 minutes or so to measure then tell the control how far its out. This will be free in the upcoming 2.68 release for CNC10 users, (and it will be ported to MPU11 very soon as well.) Another HUGE and also free feature that is about to hit the streets is a new high speed smoothing feature. I've installed this on a few high speed routers with dramatic performance increases in high speed 3D machining (and 2D) at speeds from 10,000 to 50,000 mm per min (200 to 2000ipm) For one customer, we've double his production while achieving a better surface finishes on two of his cnc routers. So there is lots of new interesting stuff happening here at Ajaxcnc.com where we make Made in USA CNC CPU's , DC Servo drives and PLC's for use with CENTROID or Mach3 software.
