Product Details

The Astro series CNC controller is a high-end product from QS Technology, equipped with a full range of features including encoder feedback for all axes, integrated PLC, Macro programming, and more. The control panel has multiple functions and is divided into two sections, including an emergency stop button. The design of the Astro 6AH controller is compatible with most types of CNC machines. The ability of the Astro 6AH controller to collect feedback signals from encoders on all axes allows users to operate the machine more safely and accurately. The simultaneous interpolation speed of the Astro 6AH controller exceeds that of other controllers such as the F54 and F86.
