Incorporating state-of-the-art CNC computer technology, it features an incredibly easy-touse, human-machine interface that separates it from the competition. EZ Control allows
you to use your existing workforce. The control’s handheld interface eliminates the need
for operators to be G-code literate. With a few minutes of training, any shop employee can
operate a MultiCam machine. We make it easy and enable you to take your profits to the
next level.
Common Parts
Using common parts brings cost, availability, and economies of scale into line. EZ
Control is a common part on all MultiCam machines and many of our standard parts are
interchangeable. Linear bearings, rack and pinion, ball screw assemblies, electronics, and
motor systems are all of the highest quality and are off-the-shelf parts for fast, convenient
replacement.
The MultiCam Difference in Construction
Each electromechanical assembly is engineered to perfection with the finest of
components: linear and helical rack and pinion drives, closed loop brushless AC servos,
and heavy duty precision linear guide ways and bearings. All electronics are fully
documented with complete schematics. All frames are constructed of high-grade steel that
has been precision cut, welded, and stress-relieved in advance of precision machining.
Each of these components produces linear, parallel, and perpendicular motion platforms
that meet the MultiCam quality seal of approval.

MultiCam Technology Centers
Factory automation machinery has been marketed to end users through a variety
of different distribution networks over the years. Many manufacturers use a Sales
Rep network to sell the product with service and support coming from the factory.
While this can be an effective method of selling, service and support is many times
compromised by the fact that the factory is in a different time zone and on-site service
requires added expense. MultiCam pioneered the concept of the “Technology Center”
in the early 1990’s by implementing a dedicated network of regionally based offices
with full sales, demonstration, training, service and post-sale support capabilities.
All MultiCam Technology Centers have a
demonstration facility with machines on
the floor for evaluation of product features,
time studies, etc. Bring us your parts
and we will show you how to cut them!
They also have a staff of factory trained
technicians that will install your machine
and train your operators. In addition, our
Technology Centers are well versed in
a variety of CAD/CAM programming
software packages and can recommend
and support your CNC programming
requirements as well.
Damon Automation,
New Hampshire
All MultiCam machines come with a
comprehensive warranty so you can be
confident in your purchase. However,
all machines have “normal wear” parts and over time will
require periodic maintenance. MultiCam has identified the most common parts
requiring replacement that in most instances will be immediately available from the
local Technology Center.
And last, our Technology Centers are there to answer your questions and provide
post-sale phone and on-line support. Most problems can be resolved without a
service call by simply contacting your local
Technology Center. With over 70 Technology
Centers worldwide, we are working hard to
make your purchase of a MultiCam the best
investment possible.
Our worldwide network of Technology
Centers is supported by our Corporate
Customer Service and Technical Support
Department. Call us at 972.929.4070 to find a
