X-Controller Kit

The X-Controller is a high power 3D carving motion controller kit that has everything, including power supply, integrated into a single chassis. This has about 3-4 times more usable motor power than entry-level controllers like the gShield. All connections are done with large, removable terminal blocks. Machine wiring is very clean. No soldering or crimping is required.

Note: While the X-Controller has separate drivers for 4 stepper motors, the X-Controller is not 4-Axis because it is runs Grbl only. Grbl is only a 3 axis controller.

Features

• Built in Grbl 3D carving controller. No external controller like Mach 3/4 is required.
• 3 axis design
• (4) 4A stepper drivers (Y axis has 2 ganged drivers for X-Carve-type machines)
• Microstepping (Full through 1/16th)
• Easy current adjustment via large, well-marked potentiometers
• Automatic idle current reduction independent for each axis
• Internal 24V 400W power supply for stepper motors
• Large internal heatsink and integrated cooling fan keeps system cool at all power loads
• Spindle speed control (0-5VDC PWM or 0-10V)
• Noise-filtered inputs for 3 axis home/limit switches
• Noise-filtered input for Z probe/touch plate
• 2 digital outputs to control external items like vacuums and coolant systems
• All inputs and outputs have their own ground terminals for clean and easy wiring.
• Labeled connections
• Rugged latching E-Stop that kills all power
• Feedhold, Cycle Start and Reset (Motion Cancel) buttons on front side
• All electrical interfaces use large, detachable terminal blocks
• USB connection
• Heavy aluminum chassis with mounting holes

Operating Environment:

• Temperature: 0-40C
• Humidity: 0-90% (non-condensing)
