CamSoft is now offering a Lite version of our PC-Based CNC Machine Tool Controller Software.

CNC Litesoftware offers an ideal, low-cost CNC controller for the entry-level user with an excellent upgrade path. Ready for use on Mills, Lathes, Routers, Water Jets, Flame Cutters, Lasers & EDMs. Can be configured for 2 through 8 axes for any machine type. No physical PLCs, ladder logic, C or VB programming is necessary.  Plus, for applications requiring added features there is also CNC Plus.  This is a bonus pac optional add on for CNC Lite which adds extra functionality.

Developing an operator interface is easy with CNC Lite because CNC Lite contains a wide variety of graphical tools already developed for the user to drag and drop into place.
