CNC-based control systems are most commonly used on machine tools, providing a proven and standardised platform for the production of precision machined parts. These systems enable machine operators and engineers to create, edit and run part programs using the internationally recognised ISO G-code programming standard. This common language allows programs to be transferred and reused across different CNC control platforms, offering flexibility and long-term supportability.
We specify and integrate CNC control systems for machine tool applications where the end user requires the ability to develop their own machining sequences and cycles. In addition, we design and manufacture CNC-based control solutions for robotic and Cartesian machine systems where high levels of axis synchronisation, interpolation and dynamic performance are critical to machine operation.
CNC retrofitting is a significant part of our business, allowing customers to extend the life of mechanically sound machines by replacing obsolete or unreliable control systems. By upgrading legacy CNC controllers, we improve machine reliability, maintainability and access to modern spare parts while preserving the existing mechanical investment. If you are experiencing control obsolescence or reliability issues, please contact us to discuss your requirements—we would be pleased to provide a free, no-obligation quotation for a CNC control upgrade.
Both CNC and PLC-based control systems offer significant advantages, and the most appropriate solution depends on the application. CNC systems excel in high-performance motion control and machining environments where operator-driven part programming is required. PLC systems, by contrast, provide exceptional flexibility for general automation, sequencing, process control and plant integration.
At CCS Technology, we design and deliver both CNC- and PLC-based solutions, enabling us to select the most appropriate control architecture for each project—whether that involves a new machine build, a complex motion system or the retrofit of obsolete control equipment.
