LIVE · CONTROL SCREEN

The full Control screen running a real job.

Your phone is the pendant — a free app for iPhone & Android, included. Pairs to your machine over WiFi in seconds.

Works with your existing KFLOP/Kogna setup — same motors, drives, I/O and configs. You're adding a screen, not changing your electronics.

One screen

The whole machine on one screen

DRO, jog pad, toolpath viewer, program list, feed and spindle overrides, and machine state — one dense cockpit built for a shop touchscreen. Everything that matters mid-cut is already in front of you. No menu-diving with a tool spinning.

LIVE · TOOLPATH

Watch the toolpath render and follow the tool as it cuts.

Built to stop

Safety is a feature, not a setting

The E-STOP stays on screen at all times.

A machine state machine gates every control, so a button that looks live is live.

Soft-limit approach — the machine eases into its limits instead of slamming them.

Limit checking — HelmCNC checks your program against the work envelope and warns you before a job would run past the limits.

In-app toolpaths

Quick Parts

Generate toolpaths right inside HelmCNC — no separate CAM package. Surface a slab, flatten a spoilboard, import a DXF and cut it, or drop in a quick rectangle. Set depth, tool and lead-ins, preview, and send to the machine.

First release · updates included

Straight answers

Questions a builder actually asks

A Windows PC and a Dynomotion KFLOP or Kogna controller. If KMotionCNC runs your machine today, HelmCNC runs on the same board and the same wiring — nothing about the electronics changes.

It keeps working — forever. Renewal only adds new updates. The version you own never expires, never phones home to check, and never stops.

It activates against your controller board. That pairing is what lets us sell it once instead of renting it — your license lives with the machine it runs.

Yes. 14 days, full-featured, nothing crippled and no card required — long enough to run real parts and decide it earns a spot on the shop PC.

Planned. The controller layer is pluggable — KFLOP and Kogna ship first, and other controllers follow from there.
