Stand-alone multi-axis motion controller / machine controller

The AMC-B controller's characteristics were suggested by our customers, it has most of the features of our popular AMC4 motion controllers and even more power and greater flexibility.

The AMC-B was designed to suit applications automating up to 6 machine axes where separate higher power or brushless drives are required. It is intended to be mounted in an enclosure together with the drives and drive power supply.

At the heart of all our AMC controllers is a plug in, high performance RISC based Engine board. System firmware and Utility software is shared over the complete AMC range so using another member of the family does not involve you learning and becoming familiar with new tools.

AMC-B's are supplied in 6 variants for 3 or 6 axes supporting stepper motors or servo motors or any combination.

All connectors are located on the front panel, separate connectors are provided for

The AMC-B can be directly connected to all our human machine interfaces, specifications are shown in the HMI document. AMC also provide a plug compatible 3 axis drive and integral power supply chassis. Please see the AMC family range for detailed specifications on all AMC's.
