Multi-axis Motion Controllers / Machine Controllers with DC brushed servomotors drives

Our AMC range of standalone, integrated motion controllers are our most popular range, with more than 3,500 being sold in the last few years. AMC's are used in a wide range of applications, they are available from 2 to 6 axes.See the range specification document for more details.

The AMC 4, (Advanced Motion Controllers) are supplied complete, in one small robust enclosure containing a high performance RISC processor board, control panel and display, PLC, optically isolated signal interfaces, low and medium power motor drives, and all power supplies. The only other items required are motors, cabling, we can supply these, and your machine.

For motion controllers requiring higher power drives see our AMC-B motion controller, for 2 and 3 axis stepper motion controllers see the AMC 3

Most AMC (Advanced Motion Controllers) features are accessible via menus defined by the system firmware. AMC's are generally supplied with menus suiting one application. Three basic menus are available: Standard menu,   Cutting menu,   Engraving menu. Custom menus are also available.
