The MAC300 evolves Maximum Control. NYDEN's 1~4 Axis Programmable Controller is the world's sharpest Motion Controller contrivance. Fully-packaged and available with software, encoder feedback and an RS-232 Serial Port, this stylish and modular designed controller alleviates difficult areas of controller programmability encountered when operating several of today's high-priced controllers.

NYDEN is proud to fully serve the most complex design requirements formulated by worldwide design engineers who incorporate product quality, effective time management and cost-effectiveness--all into building their company's most resourceful machine equipment. When your application requires a controller to provide maximum flexibility, the MAC300 is the highest degree of programming simplicity. Basic-like user-friendly language means quick, simplified programming. Eight inputs and outputs, expandable up to 32 inputs and outputs. Trapezoidal, Triangular or Velocity movement profiles can be generated with these Controllers in order to provide smooth machine operations for Stepping motors and Digital Input Servo motors systems.

For this quarter's major applicational requirement, incorporate a MAC300 as your primary controller in the design of any type of motor-automated equipment. Customer-completed products into which the MAC300 has been successfully integrated:

... Pick and Place Machines     ...Robotics    ...Semiconductors     ...Medical Industry    ...Fiber Optics Industry    ...High Speed Applications    ...Steel Manufacturing     ...Conveyor Systems
