BOB3T-03 is an LPT (parallel port) breakout board that connects your PC to the motor drivers and I/O of a CNC plasma or milling machine. It fully supports Mach3 and other LPT-based CNC software, controls up to 5 axes, and shows the status of each axis on LEDs. Separate USB and external power supplies protect your PC, an opto-isolated 0–10 V output controls spindle speed through a frequency inverter, and two relay outputs switch the spindle or charge pump. Five inputs handle emergency stop, limits and tool touch-off, and every LPT pin name is printed on the board for quick, error-free wiring. Designed and built by Robot3T in Vietnam.

Frequently asked questions
My PC has no parallel (LPT) port. Can I still use it?
You need a PC with an LPT port or a PCI/PCIe parallel port card supported by your CNC software. Contact us if you need advice on a USB or Ethernet motion controller instead.
Does it work with Robot3T THC and ohmic sensors?
Yes. It is commonly used together with our THC3T-02 height controllers and OS3T-01 ohmic sensor on Mach3 plasma machines.
Can it control spindle speed?
Yes. Connect the 0–10 V output to your inverter’s analog input and use a relay output for spindle on/off.
Do you ship outside Vietnam?
Yes. Contact sales@robot3t.com for a quote including shipping to your country.
