As we all know, the operation of woodworking engraving machine is closely related to its control system. Summarizing the woodworking engraving machine control system on the market, I think it can be roughly divided into three categories: computer control, handle control and integrated machine control.
1.Computer control: that is, by installing the Weihong control card on the PCI slot of the computer motherboard, and installing the Weihong software driver on the computer to control the walking of the XYZ axis of the engraving machine and the rotation of the spindle motor, the processing effect can be previewed at any time. The processing track can be seen, and if the program is loaded incorrectly, it can be corrected in time; Weihong control system is the most widely used system in the engraving machine control system at present, with user-friendly interface, simple and convenient operation, complete functions, high program compatibility, various Engraving CAM software can be imported directly or indirectly. The disadvantage is that a separate computer needs to be configured, but fortunately, the requirements for computer configuration are extremely low. For customers with small capital budgets, they can configure second-hand out-of-pocket computers by themselves. Now Weihong has launched various versions of different control software and hardware, including multi-axis linkage.
2.Handle control: You can control the movement of the engraving machine by holding it in your hand. It saves space and does not occupy the computer; the disadvantage is that the operation is relatively troublesome. After all, all functions are integrated on one control panel, and it is easy to press the wrong function keys if the operation is not skilled. It is widely used with various engraving machines (including four-axis linkage), without occupying a separate computer, which greatly reduces the footprint of the equipment, and it is also more convenient to set the knife. The disadvantage is that there is no preview and other functions, and the interface is not as intuitive as the computer.
3.All-in-one machine control: independent integrated design, using industrial computer, PLC and other integrated control, rich interfaces, complete functions, can realize multi-axis control and automatic tool change. It is mainly used for high-end engraving machines, machining centers, and some mold machine engraving machines. The anti-interference ability of the control system, as well as all aspects of performance, control accuracy, etc. are superior to other categories. This system is not mainstream in CNC operating systems. , but in the engraving machine control system, it is the mainstream of the all-in-one machine category. The disadvantage is that the price is high, and the operability tends to be more like CNC machine tools. For some customers, the operation is not as simple as the former.
For woodworking engraving machines, the three control systems have their own advantages and disadvantages, so everyone must be careful when choosing. The users who use the woodworking engraving machine to cut materials generally choose the all-in-one machine control and industrial panel, while the customers who do relief and pattern generally choose the computer control or the handle control.
