CNC-Studio USB stands out from other standard CNC control programs most notably due to its ease of use.
Who hasn’t heard about the programs that stash away thousands of parameters in hundreds of submenus, which
are not only superfluous for simple jobs, but also act as a deterrent and spoil the enjoyment of the CNC?
CNC-Studio is something completely different!
During the development phase, we concentrated above all on the following:
•Easy installation
•USB connection
•Clearly laid out user interface
•Intuitive operation
•Only a single window for settings
•Only a single window for machine operation
•Graphic progress indicator
•Coordinate display
•Integrated editor
•Controllable also via touch screen
You’ll only need a few minutes to get your machine ready to go.

The control software
CNC Studio USB
connects a PC, notebook or netbook with the USB Port of a CNC machine
with a parallel port. A supplied USB Box is used for control in real time. This box features - in addition to a USB
and parallel connection – its own CPU, its own software, and its own memory in which the milling data is cached.
The milling data is sent from the PC via USB to the box, where it is processed by the box and exported to the
machine in real time through the parallel connection of the box. With this solution, all critical tasks run
independently of Windows background processes on the PC, which ensures an utterly clean, smooth and precise
running motor. The CNC Studio USB can be used to control any CNC machine which has a parallel port and which
uses clocking / direction signals as actuation.

To run
CNC Studio USB
,
a commercially available PC with hard drive, a USB interface, any graphic board, and a

installation. CNC Studio runs with Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows ME, Windows NT, Windows 2000, Windows
XP, Windows Vista, with 32 and 64 Bit versions of Windows 7 and Windows 8.
