The Mach3 USB CNC 5-axis controller board is an adapter designed to control stepper motors in CNC systems using Mach3 software and other numerical control programs that use a parallel port. This board is ideal for users looking for a reliable, protected solution to manage up to 5 axes with precision and safety.

  • Compatibility: Works with Mach3 and other numerical control software via parallel port, making it easy to integrate into existing CNC systems.
  • Advanced protection: Features an independent protection system for USB power and peripheral power, ensuring equipment integrity and preventing damage from reverse polarity connection.
  • Peripheral voltage: Supports voltages between 12 and 24V with reverse connection protection, ensuring safe and stable operation.
  • Parallel port protection: Provides comprehensive protection between the input signals and the control circuit to protect the controller's parallel port.
  • Output control: All outputs are controlled by a switch on output P17, allowing efficient signal management.
  • Isolated analogue output: Includes an isolated 0-10V analogue voltage output via optocoupler, controllable through an analogue interface converter to regulate spindle speed (output P1).
  • 5-axis control: Opens 17 accessible ports with optocoupler to control 5-axis stepper motors, ideal for complex CNC setups.
  • PWM output: Output P1 can be used as PWM to control the spindle regulator via optocoupler.
  • Input levels: Compatible with common cathode or common anode input levels at 5V for easy integration with different systems.

Typical use: This board is perfect for workshops and users who need to control 5-axis CNC machines with stepper motors, ensuring precise and safe control of movement and speed.

Compatibility and accessories: Supplied with a USB cable to make direct connection to the computer easier and ensure stable communication with Mach3 software.

Customer Questions & Answers

What are the dimensions, weight and main materials of the included board?

The board measures approximately 100 mm x 70 mm x 15 mm and weighs 120 g (without packaging). It is made from FR4 fibreglass PCB with surface-mount electronic components and terminal block connectors for easy wiring.

Which operating systems and Mach3 versions are compatible? Does it include USB drivers?

The board is designed to work with Mach3 and other CNC software via the parallel port on Windows systems (XP, 7, 8, 10 32-bit). The supplied USB cable is for power only, not data transfer, so no specific USB drivers are required or included.

Is it possible to control spindle speed from the 0-10V analogue output, and how accurate is this signal?

Yes, the 0-10V analogue output allows the speed of compatible spindles to be controlled via the appropriate converter. The signal is opto-isolated and its accuracy depends on the circuit design, with a typical tolerance of ±0.2V, suitable for most conventional VFD drives.

What electrical protection measures are included, and what happens if the 12-24V power supply is connected incorrectly?

The board includes reverse-polarity protection on the 12-24V power input, as well as optocouplers to isolate control signals. If the polarity is connected incorrectly, the system prevents permanent damage, although it is advisable to check the connections before switching on.

Is this board compatible with Mach3 software?

Yes, this controller board is compatible with Mach3 and other numerical control programs that use a parallel port.

What voltage do the peripherals connected to this board support?

The peripherals can operate with voltages between 12 and 24V, with reverse polarity connection protection.

Does it include a cable for USB connection?

Yes, the package includes a USB cable to connect the board to the computer.

How many axes can this board control?

It can control up to 5 axes through its 17 accessible ports with optocoupler.

What kind of protection does the board have?

It has independent protection for USB power and peripherals, as well as comprehensive protection for the parallel port to prevent damage.
