Founded in 1998 in Lawrenceburg, Indiana, Controlink Systems LLC was built on a simple belief: software for machinists should be developed by people who understand machining. Over the past 25+ years, the company has grown from a CNC/DNC communications specialist into a comprehensive engineering services firm serving manufacturers across the United States—from precision job shops to national research laboratories like Oak Ridge National Laboratory. As a proud member of the NI Partner Network since 2000, Controlink brings validated hardware and software expertise to every project. Their reputation for reliability earned recognition from The Timken Company in 2000, which highlighted their innovative DNC technology. Today, the company continues its mission of linking systems together and solving complex manufacturing challenges with user-friendly, shop-proven solutions.
CNC Connect refers to the process of linking a computer to CNC machine tool controls via RS-232 serial communication or network connections. Controlink's DNC software manages this link—continuously scanning for file requests, serving the correct G-code program to the machine, and allowing engineers to monitor transfers in real time. The setup is configurable for any CNC control, old or new.
