DMC-18x6 PCI Multi-Axis

Sample image only. Product may differ
The DMC-18x6 Series is a high-performance PCI bus motion controller designed for multi-axis applications requiring precision and flexibility. Supporting up to eight axes, the DMC-18x6 provides advanced motion control features for servo and stepper motors, including linear and circular interpolation, contouring, electronic gearing, and ECAM.
Equipped with optical isolation on inputs, dual encoder inputs per axis, and an auxiliary FIFO and DPRAM communication channel, the DMC-18x6 is built for demanding motion applications. The controller features Galil’s intuitive two-letter command system and is supported by the GDK software suite for streamlined setup and tuning.
