Presenting the Nighthawk CNC Controller!
 
Designed in-house by our R&D team, we have done our best to address the requests of the CNC community to bring a truly awesome and robust CNC controller to the market.
 
The Nighthawk CNC Controller is suitable for CNC Routers, CNC Mills, CNC Laser Engravers/Cutters, CNC Plasma Cutters and other robotic projects whether they're DIY or pre-built.
 
A certified Australian made, extremely powerful and functional CNC controller designed with the home hobbyist and light commercial user in mind.
 
The Nighthawk complies with the following regulatory marks 
RCM/R-NZ, CE, UKCA, RoHS, FCC and ICED.
 
Our Nighthawk CNC Controller has been designed in tandem with our CNC3D Commander control software to take full advantage of every feature available to both!
 
There are 2 form factors of the Nighthawk CNC Controller available – Full Stack and Control Card Only.
 
A quick look at some standout features of each form factor are listed below.

Official Certifications
Our Nighthawk CNC controller is fully Electrically and Radio Emissions certified in every region on earth. See a full list of certification documents HERE (Download Link)
 
 *Please Note*
 
While the Nighthawk can interface with most VFDs and Laser modules on the market, CNC3D cannot offer technical support for any 3rd party appliances, you should contact your vendor or manufacturer for help with these items.
 
Some VFDs, Like Huanyang (HY) and Invertek VFD's may only allow the VFD to run one direction, not both, i.e: clockwise only.  
 
All Nighthawk Controllers are tested and QC Checked prior to being shipped, this includes a VFD and Laser control test as well as all wireless communications. If a controller does not pass our testing it does not leave our factory.
