ProMotion® iCNC®
The ProMotion iCNC is our flag-ship shape cutting control and plasma
cutting control, offering you a turn-key solution, with all the
shape cutting capability and options you could possibly need
in a single box. Just plug in our plug-and-play cables to the
back-wall connectors in the unit and you are ready to go.
OEM Options
The ProMotion® iQ offers the same capability as our iCNC but
without the 15” touch-screen display and front panel switches.
We recommend the iQ for customers who prefer creating their own
display solutions or for customers who prefer creating their own
operator panel with switching. On-Screen Software Switches are
also available to reduce hardware costs and streamline design.
The ProMotion® Open Frame is the engine driving the iCNC and
iQ. Offered on a single mounting plate, the Open Frame is well
suited for OEMs who want to benefit from the ultimate in core technology,
but want to design the surrounding technology and control look-and-feel
themselves.
Interface Options
The ProMotion® HVAC is a software User Interface available
to iCNC, iQ and Open Frame units. This user interface is specifically
fine-tuned for the special parts production requirements of the
HVAC industry, where every second of lost time between sheet cutting
is critical and where a simple UI is important.
Various ProMotion Machine Interfaces are available, handling various
standard machine solutions––from single tool machines
to complicated 8-torch combination machines with automatic torch
spacing. Together with our OEM partners, ProMotion Controls designs
complete Turn-Key solutions, maximizing shape-cutting machine efficiency.
The results – count on huge customer cost savings.
Accessories
ProMotion® iDrives are ideal drive solutions for both OEMs
and for retrofitting exisiting shape-cutting machines. Select from
a variety of built-in DC- and AC-Drive system solutions.
ProMotion® iLifters are turn-key torch lifter solutions for
demanding customer applications.
Special ProMotion® iMarking systems are available, providing
extremely efficient marking and cutting solutions.
ProMotion® Nest – Nesting and Job Preparation Software
ProMotion Nest Off-Line Office software is the most effective and
simple-to-use solution in the industry. Originally designed to
be used in the iCNC Controller at the cutting machine by the
torch operator, ProMotion Nest software is extremely intuitive.
For the office, we maintained the same level of intuity but increased
the level of capability and features. Many of our products in
the ProMotion Controls product family offer an unsurpassed level
of productivity because of the productivity tools in this software.
All ProMotion Controls products are designed to offer superior
shape-cutting solutions for the fabrication industry. Each one
is the result of years of in-depth fabrication industry knowledge,
problem-solving know-how and proven success.

OEM Products
iQ Controller • Open Frame iCNC
Numerous features empower machine operators with shop-floor shape
cutting control:
• Dual microprocessor technology provides true multitasking.
• Direct download from DXF files.
• Easy part program creation and nesting.
• Optional HVAC user interface.
• Optional productivity tools and automatic interlocking nesting.
The new ProMotion iQ Controller incorporates the advanced intelligence
you need in a low profile controller box, while providing users
the option of designing their own system using their own monitor.
iQ Controller configurations are available for thermal cutting
with plasma and configurations for use with shape-cutting machines
having both oxy-fuel and plasma
flame-cutting capabilities.
The new Open Frame iCNC is specially designed for the OEM and
incorporates the advanced intelligence you have come to expect
from ProMotion Controls. Providing optimum flexibility, OEM machine
designers will find it especially easy to design machine solutions
that complement their product line. Open Frame iCNC Control configurations
are available for shape-cutting machinery using plasma, both oxy-fuel
and plasma, laser, waterjet, and for routers.
Built-In iDrives
Even though you can use any external drive system with your iCNC
Control, ProMotion Controls offers both low-cost DC Drives and
high-performance digital AC Drives for use inside the iCNC.
Having the drives built-in to the same enclosure with the CNC
greatly simplifies the installation, eliminates the need for several
boxes and cabling between them, and reduces your total system costs.
New ProMotion AC iDrives, developed in co-operation with Kollmorgen
Servotronix and Koike Aronson, are available in two or three-axis
configurations, accommodating small shape-cutting machines (ie,
5-ft. by 10-ft cutting tables) to the biggest frames in the industry.
Depending on the target market and the application, they can work
with either 115 VAC or 230 VAC, providing up to 2 kW power output:
• Smooth and precise motion control. Reliable and Affordable.
• The first AC Drives in the industry designed to accommodate
a wide range of small to large motors, for the smallest to the
largest shape-cutting machines!
Torch Lifter & Height Control
By maintaining a consistent set distance between the torch tip
and
plate, ProMotion® Lifters & Torch Height Controls improve
productivity.
Count on better plate cutting quality and a more automated system,
freeing your operator from having to consistently monitor torch
height
distance and from having to manually raise and lower the torch
tip
from plate. Operators will be free to better utilize their time
for more
productive duties:
• Fast vertical drive facilitates precise clearance control
of both plasma & oxy-fuel torches.
• Accurate capacitive torch height control for oxy-fuel.
• Precise arc voltage measurement control for plasma.
