Mach4 Hobby License Key

Description

Mach4 is our newest version of CNC motion control software.

Mach4 was written from the ground up to be expandable, flexible, and extremely responsive for use with very large files.

Mach3 was designed for simple hobby machines and still serves this purpose well. When quality, speed, and the ability to use or learn industrial style controls and methods are what is needed, Mach4 is the correct choice. While there was only one version of Mach3, Mach4 is offered in different versions. Each version of Mach4 is built upon the same core. The architecture of Mach4 is modular and allows for quicker development to expand the already large feature set that Mach4 offers. Mach4 has been in use on Industrial equipment running constantly for over two years.

The standard Mach4 installer contains the screens and profiles to run Mills, Drills, Lathes, Routers, Tangential knife, Plasma, and 3D Printer machines. The full list of machines being controlled by Mach4 is much longer, but these machines can quickly be setup with the profiles and screens available in the standard Mach4 installer. Laser is the next machine to get a full profile for easy setup.

Modular Design

Mach4’s modular design allows features to be added and removed without affecting the systems operation. This aspect greatly enhances the flexibility for different applications, machines and uses.

– Different modules of the core can be removed, added, or created to create a custom software package for OEM’s, re-sellers, and educational organizations.

– Everything is customizable, Make the software your Own

Create Proprietary add-ons for your version
Custom Installers
Rapid Application Development (RAD) with our Screen Design Mode
Increase or decrease functionality with Plug Ins and Add-ons
Customizable M Codes for Machine Specific Functions

– No fixed amount of IO

IO registered to system without any software interference between devices.

Mach4 Motion

Mach4 can control CNC machinery, PLC equipment, and robotics. The core is a full featured ‘brain’ that ensures all input and output devices are coordinated with motion.

All Motion control calculated in the core = less dependence on hardware and associated software driver.

Motion Device Drivers (Plug Ins) have standard format = common level of functionality between components, less complexity, easier and less costly to troubleshoot and support.

New Features Continued

Control or track CNC equipment from a remote location
Greatly expanded troubleshooting
Track the operation of equipment
Link information between other computer applications
Excel, etc…
New Dynamic tool path display
View, rotate, pan, and scale the tool path quickly and easily to ensure G-code is creating the path you expect.
Improved screen layout and easily customizable screen modification tool.
Change buttons, displays, and indicators easily, quickly, and on the fly!

Motion Control at the Core

All motion control calculations are completed in the core. Mach4’s core adapts to the speed (frequency) of the motion controllers attached. Mach3 software relied on the hardware plug-in software and complex buffering schemes to ensure accuracy and coordinated motion. This redesign has several advantages.

Up to 100x faster response from button click to machine action
Machine hold or speed changes happen as quickly as GUI buttons are selected on the screen
Improved Backlash Control & more accurate screw mapping = less jitter and more accurate cuts
Higher quality manual pulse generator (MPG) = very smooth jogging and positioning without lag time

Mach4 Hobby

A full featured software version to be marketed toward those interested in using CNC machinery for their own personal /non-business use.

End-user support is limited to e-mail and online forums. Add-ons, expandability, and updates will be available.

This version is the direct replacement for Mach3.
