CNC Controller

CNC Controller


The CNC Controller is the brain of the CNC machine; it controls the motion path of the CNC machine tool and is the most indispensable part of the CNC machine tool.

Different brands and different versions of CNC Controller each have their own advantages and disadvantages. Apart from the system developed by ourselves, we also provide the mainstream CNC control systems currently on the market for selection.

FAQ of CNC Controller

Which controller should I choose?

For cost-effectiveness, use Socay and Syntec.
For workpiece quality, use Mitsubishi.
For mold quality, use Mitsubishi and Fanuc.
For ultimate functionality and quality, use Siemens and Heidenhain.

I make molds but have a limited budget; which CNC Controller should I choose?

Use Mitsubishi m80A or Socay.

How long can a controller last?

With no disassembly, repairs, or water damage, it can last for over 20 years.

I haven’t heard of the Socay system before; how is its completeness/maturity?

Socay’s self-developed system boasts over a decade of R&D experience. While it may not be as well-known in the general market as giants like FANUC, it is a system that undergoes deep, one-to-one customization and optimization specifically for the physical structure, rigidity characteristics, and operating logic of Socay’s machine tools. This means that when running Socay’s own machines, the integration and compatibility of the hardware and software are extremely high, eliminating the problem of poor compatibility between general-purpose systems and non-standard machine bodies.
