Thermwood Corporation announces new QCore Control
Scott Vaal, Thermwood’s Lead Tester says, “This new control is light-years beyond what anyone else can offer, and allows us to fully use the power of multi-core processing. With QCore, operators can run a program on the machine while simultaneously running other applications such as Thermwood’s Control Nesting on the control.”

With QCore, operators can run a program on the machine while simultaneously running other applications such as Thermwood’s Control Nesting on the control.”
The QCore also has an all-new optional Hand Held Programmer that puts the expanded power of the QCore control into a compact, rugged remote. This new hand held offers improved ergonomics, a color LCD touch screen display and a durable 24-key steel dome membrane keypad. It allows the operator to perform a wide variety of tasks that were previously only available through the machine control.
Thermwood is the only major CNC router manufacturer that designs, manufactures and supports their own control; a control so advanced that it is used by various aerospace and defense companies for some of their most demanding applications.
