Functionality of AKKON

• controlling of four axes (x-, y-, z- and a- direction)
• 3D-viewer showing working path
• program operates with G-Code based on DIN 66025, RS274.
• basic import filters for Excellon- and Hpgl-files (other file formats e.g. DXF available on internet)
• engraving using simple fonts already implemented in G-Command (borland vector fonts available)
• easy access of CNC controller over USB interface or RS232-interface
• simulator for program test
• communicaton protocol to AKKON CNC controller open for own projects in the area of automation
• siginal outputs e.g. for cooling system or vacuum cleaner, controlled over G-Code
• PWM or analogue output (AKKON extension board) for controlling spindle
• hardware also supports micro stepping mode
• software updates can be done over USB-interface
• fexible configurable turrets (controlling of 4 further axis using G-Code)
• automated tool measurement, configurable for each tool
• digital input for emergency button
• digital input for run/pausing program execution in automatic mode (used e.g. for cutting tools that needs a little bit time for ignition
• English and German version available
• reference point user specifically definable
• translation in other languages possible (also by user)
• program debugging using break points

With optional hardware a AC-motor can be controlled by the AKKON USB Controller. This project is currently under construction and will be available for free.
