Product Description
This adapter makes it possible to use classical industrial electronics on any Windows computer you want with a USB port.
Raw 1.5 works best with classical electronics and we highly recommend it as you have the opportunity to use the same software as the industry uses. The problem is that classic electronics require a printer port. This adapter has been developed for over 2 years to convert the signals from LPT to USB. Can sound simple but it is a challenge that not many other adapters can handle.The adapter is plugged into the USB port on your computer and the printer port for your electronic box.
Be aware that there are lots of copies of UC100 sold on eBay, Alibaba, Banggood and Amazon!
The fake devices do not work. You can control the machine with them but do not use the advanced features that we need.
Features:
– Replaces the LPT port.
– Controls upto 6-axis simulteneously.
– Works with Mach3 and Mach4 softwares via plugin.
– Upto 100kHz operation.
– USB connection to the control PC.
– Same pinout as a standard LPT port.
– Fast communication with data buffer for robust and stabile operation.
