Increased productivity, lower PC costs
An Ethernet-based “smart” controller, the LEC-3.1 is designed to operate as a standalone unit within a galvanometer-based laser scanning system.
The LEC-3.1’s intelligence allows you to control the unit over a LAN (Local Area Network), and store and execute jobs locally or in stand-alone mode, eliminating the need for local computer control. This function translates into maximum flexibility for equipment location, increased productivity, and lower PC costs.
The LEC-3.1 is specifically optimized for WinLase LAN Software. In addition, Lanmark Controls offers I/O modules that simplify access to connections on the LEC-3.1 control board.
The LEC-3.1 is an electrically compatible replacement for the LEC-1 and EC-1000.
