When buying a used Beijing precision carving machine, the selection of the control system can start from the following aspects:

 First, understand the type of control system and characteristics of the control system

 Vihon control system: the basic configuration of three axes of motion, expandable, support for CNC rotary table. Can fully support the ISO standard G instruction, HPPLT format and ENG format. With manual functions, incremental feeding, user data input and other functions, but also has a high-speed smooth speed connection characteristics, three-dimensional analogue display, simulation and other functions.

Beijing Precision Engraving Control System: It is a special system for Beijing Precision Engraving Machine, with good compatibility with the equipment, simple and intuitive operation interface, and targeted functions, which can efficiently control the precision engraving machine to complete a variety of complex machining tasks, and it is excellent in tool path planning and precision control.

Mitsubishi control system: high stability and reliability, strong anti-interference ability, can be adapted to long time continuous processing. With a rich instruction set and powerful interpolation function, it can realise high-precision multi-axis linkage control, and is often used in occasions with high requirements for processing accuracy and stability.

Siemens control system: powerful, open and expandable, can be integrated with a variety of automation equipment. Intelligent and user-friendly operation interface, powerful programming function, advanced contour control and dynamic response capability, can meet the needs of high-speed, high-precision machining of complex-shaped parts.

Second, assess the system performance and functional

 control accuracy: check the pulse equivalent of the system, the smaller the pulse equivalent, the higher the control accuracy. Understand the system's interpolation algorithms, such as linear interpolation, arc interpolation and other precision, advanced interpolation algorithms can make the machining path more accurate.

Operation speed: pay attention to the operation speed of the system, fast operation speed can improve the machining efficiency and reduce the empty travelling time. Check the system's ability to support high-speed feeding and high-speed cutting to ensure that accuracy and stability can still be maintained during high-speed machining.

Functional integrity: according to machining requirements, check whether the system has tool compensation, workpiece coordinate system setting, automatic tool setting, breakpoint memory, jump section execution and other functions. For complex parts processing, check whether the system supports three-dimensional surface processing, multi-axis linkage and other advanced features.

Third, examine the stability and reliability of the system stability

: ask the seller whether the system is often dead, garbled, alarm and other faults, to understand the stability of the system under prolonged operation. Can ask to see the system's operating log to see if there are frequent error records.

Compatibility: Check the compatibility of the system with the mechanical parts of the precision engraving machine, such as motors, drives, sensors, etc., to avoid communication failures or control mismatches. Ensure that the system is compatible with the processing file formats generated by commonly used CAD/CAM software.

Maintainability: Understand the difficulty and cost of maintaining the system, and whether there are perfect diagnostic functions to facilitate rapid location and troubleshooting. Ask the seller whether the system can provide maintenance technical support and software upgrade services.

Fourth, check the system hardware and software status

 hardware status: check the control card, drive and other hardware whether there are signs of damage, aging, overheating, etc., to see the production date of the hardware and the use of years, to determine its remaining useful life.

Software version: Find out the version number of the system software. Newer versions usually have better performance and features, as well as more bug fixes. Ask the seller if he or she has the software's installation discs, licensing documents, etc. to ensure that the software is legitimate and usable.
