myNCT – Conversational programming for CNC machines

myNCT software is a user-friendly, conversational solution that simplifies and accelerates CNC programming. Its intuitive interface is ideal for both beginners and experienced machine operators, enabling professional results even with minimal experience.

Key features of the myNCT CNC programming software:

3+2-axis milling: fast and accurate machining of complex geometries
Free-form contour pockets: high flexibility for complex shapes
Simple milling cycles: quick programming for the most common operations
Thread milling: precise thread creation in a variety of materials
Drilling cycles: automated drilling to boost productivity
Driven-tool milling: milling and turning in a single machine
Turning cycles: easy grooving, threading, and turning with high accuracy

3D Solid Model Graphics – Accuracy and efficiency in CNC controllers

3D solid model graphics in CNC controllers are a breakthrough solution for visual verification of machining processes. This feature helps to:

Identify CNC programming errors
Prevent collisions
Provide an accurate view of the workpiece in progress
Increase productivity, reduce scrap, and continuously ensure excellent manufacturing quality

NCT Pro3D – Generate CNC programs easily and quickly

NCT Pro3D software lets you generate a CNC program for milling machines with just a few simple taps. The software provides automatic tool and technology recommendations and can generate toolpaths, so users can create the desired parts without writing complex CNC machining programs.

NCT simulator

A full-featured control and programming interface, optionally integrated with the machine tool’s PLC program.

NCT Collision Protection Module – Safety and efficiency for CNC machine tools

Monitors CNC machine operation in real time and responds immediately to potential collisions. When necessary, it automatically stops or corrects motion to prevent damage. Safer operation, fewer breakdowns, higher efficiency.

Energy Management Module – Optimized energy usage on CNC machines

The Energy Management Module measures and logs CNC machines’ energy consumption in real time, even broken down by program. It helps optimize production, reduce costs, and accurately track the energy demand of each part.

Workpiece and tool probing cycles

Built-in probing cycles in NCT controllers enable accurate and fast measurement of workpieces directly on the machine. The system automatically detects positions and dimensions, increasing machining accuracy and efficiency.

Innovation without compromises

The rapid development of computer hardware and operating systems has enabled us to create a new type of solution where we were able to integrate the latest WINDOWS operating system for the user interface—without compromises—while preserving the proven, simple hardware architecture of the NCT 201.

The secret lies in the latest quad-core ITX-standard hardware and the brilliant INTime real-time operating system from TenAsys that can be installed under WINDOWS.

In the NCT 204/304 controller, a single computer located behind the screen handles both the CNC and the operator interface (HMI). Inside this one computer, four processors (four cores) are working. Two cores run the well-known WINDOWS operating system with the NCT operator interface (HMI) and a wide range of applications, while the other two cores run the CNC system.

This controller can also run our most modern CNC programming software, VECTOR, and the solid-model visualization integrated into the NCT HMI. We designed the system to be open so that either NCT or the machine builder can replace or further develop the operator interface to match their own needs and the specific machine.

This development opened up a completely new market for NCT. It enabled us to create customized, unique operator interfaces for machine builders. With this, we can reach OEM partners who want to appear in their markets with their own custom-designed CNC operator and programming interface.
