In Motion ANCA has over 40 years experience developing and implementing CNC’s for a variety of cutting and grinding applications worldwide. At ANCA Motion we strive for excellence in quality and specialise in custom application CNC system solutions. Our control systems are entirely flexible and suitable for a range of applications from complex 5 axes machine tools, 2 axes profile cutters or single axis stand alone applications.

Innovation ANCA Motion CNC systems comprise of both hardware and software which have been designed and refined side-by-side for over 40 years. We have always been at the cutting edge of machine system development. From the introduction of the handwheel which allowed users to easily step forward and back through a program, to developing and implementing the patented soft axes, our achievements have cemented our status as an industry leader.

We appreciate that every application is different and requires unique and Coupled Motion Some applications need a large number of axes with very tightly coupled motion, this is where our custom drive interpolation comes in. For example, a 60 axis knitting machine operates with extremely tight synchronisation. Our CNC can act as a motion supervisor, switching in and out particular drive coupled interpolation sequences, depending on the patterns to be handled by the line. Integrated Solutions General Purpose, Built-In Functions (GBIF) are a particularly easy way to integrate your own...

system innovative solutions. Custom Development As a leading manufacturer of modern digital CNC’s we develop all layers of the technology from applications, CNC and PLC to drives and motors, we will work with you to customise these layers to suit your specific motion control applications. ANCA Motion prides itself on building and maintaining solutions collaboratively. Our best products have been forged through a close working partnership with our clients. ACHIEVE TOGETHER ANCA has a history of success through cooperative design. Our collaborative development has allowed customers to develop...

Our control systems are used across a range of machines including tool Our system lets you control multiple logical machines concurrently through individual channels. Each machine can be operated autonomously while their specific NC programs are produced from a single CNC unit. Synchronised operations can be easily achieved and maintained because of this arrangement. Core Kinematics Complex machines can have complex kinematics. For us, kinematics was never a bolt-on accessory to the CNC. ANCA Motion kinematics are built right into the core data flow of the machine controller, separating...

Experienced Developers We collaboratively developed our on-board harmonic resonance filter Our engineers work very closely to automatically determine where to with machine tool designers to install notch filters to compensate for tune our CNC’s for their specific mechanical resonances. mechanical configurations. Hierarchical Parameters The CNC has a sophisticated database for managing hierarchical sets of configuration and commissioning parameters. This database is open, allowing you to add in your own hierarchical parameters, PLC...

ADD FUNCTIONALITY ANCA Motion develops application specific functions along with industry Spline Interpolation Standard Complex tool paths are often made up of streams of small moves. These can adversely affect part quality and contouring speed if a CNC is restricted to linear interpolation. ANCA Motion CNC’s include ‘through-thepoints’ spline interpolation along all contouring axes as standard. Standard interpolation modes are available as well as application specific modes like rigid tapping. In addition, we provide several special purpose interpolation modes such as a high speed CAM mode...

software standard software features. Programmable Logic Controller Our CNC’s have a software based PLC. This saves cost by eliminating the need for an external PLC to coordinate I/O. It also integrates very tightly into other CNC software modules. We’ve developed an easy to understand and write programming PLC COMMANDS Physical I/O variables General purpose variables Canned cycles/Macros Logical operators Arithmetic operator language and compiler comes standard in all CNCs. IEC61131/61499 compatible software PLC on the CNC for graphical ladder programming is an optional extra. Tool Path...

Our hardware packages cover all areas of system control, motion output, High Speed Probing ANCA Motion servo drives have dedicated probe inputs that latch the drive’s position in a nanosecond when the touch probe connects or the laser probe signal breaks. Therefore the speed of probing can be increased without effecting accuracy.
