VitalCNC

High Performance, Modern CNC Software

VitalCNC is a Windows CNC control software for HiCON motion controllers. It runs mills, routers, lathes, plasma tables and waterjets from one screen, with the DRO, overrides, jogging, the G-code list and a live 3D toolpath all in view.

When something goes wrong, you don't have to guess. VitalCNC shows you exactly what is happening with the controller itself, the motion axes, the I/O, and the G-code program. VitalCNC is fast, reliable, and easy to use.

  • Lua scripting engine and built-in PLC for custom machine logic
  • Detailed diagnostics and real-time monitoring of the motion controller, axes, I/O, and G-code program
  • Built in support for laser, plasma, and waterjet cutting systems
  • Ability to resume a cut after a power loss or emergency stop, with toolpath recovery
