What board for this retrofit?

Post by Genuine »

Hi everyone.
I need a control board for retrofit on SCM record 220 cnc router, it has alot in/outs ATC spindle with turret, 6pcs. drilling unit, 4.axis spindle rotation. I would also sometimes like to add 5.axis on table for part rotation, laser engraving diode and plasma cutter.

I thought to go with uc300eth and uccnc but considering acorn6 after saw few comments praising Centroid over others, Its expensive but maybe should go for it considering am gonna try to start small business with a machine and need something quality and reliable.

Also have in plan to get this cnc mill on sale that need retrofit too and probably building few smaller machines for plasma cutter, small router..and also standard 5.axis machines in future.
So RTCP is needed and full 5.axis machining.
Am also not sure if I can use one or two boards for all machines or need a one for each, same about software..
Would like to stick with one brand for all of it.

CNC12 runs on all of our control hardware platforms. so you will be familiar with operation of each machine across the whole line up.

for the SCM 220 i'd go with Hickory.
