Features of USA Controller The USA Controller has advanced features to provide the smoothest possible cuts. G-Code input is constantly buffered to vector match moves. This means machine only slows down when it needs to and then only as much as needed to stay within the acceleration parameters programmed. This Controller also does S-Curve acceleration through arcs and matches arc tangential velocities with straight moves to provide smooth arc moves. The result of these features is simply smoother cuts and less need for finishing operations. The Controller has a highly customizable, user-friendly interface that lets you take control of your machine, providing features previously only found on custom industrial controllers. Any stepper, micro-stepper, or servo system with step and direction inputs can be interfaced using the included PCI card and microprocessor daughter board, or one of several available PCI I/O expansion cards. In addition to axis motion, up to 128 auxiliary outputs and 128 separate inputs may be defined. The intuitive user interface is easy to learn and convenient to use. All the features you need and expect are readily accessible via industry standard G-Codes. Simple keystrokes provide the ability to start, pause, restart, jog, and rapid transit any axis without navigating multiple screens and windows. Programs may be run from any line as needed. The programmed feed rates may be adjusted from 1% to 200% without stopping machine motion. Program options may be selected from the pull down menu using the mouse, ALT+ menu key, or function keys while the machine is stopped. Files can either be typed into the command line or you can use the File menu's open option to bring the file name to the command line. Using the open command does not automatically run the file, it just brings the name to the command line. The USA controller comes with a industrial computer case (no monitor).
