Shown is a full conversion of a Contour mill to CNC control via Mach3. The system has been upgraded with new motors on the X and Y axes. The CNC motion control products supplied by CNC drive motion controls has allowed JBEC and StoneyCNC to provide full CNC mill conversions of this type to a number of machines. If you are looking for a conversion of any machine of this type to Mach3 please don’t hesitate to contact us.
