Explore our complete range of CNC/DNC, shop-floor automation, process monitoring, and custom engineering software solutions.
Fast, reliable CNC/DNC file transfer software for sending and receiving programs across all RS-232-compatible machines. Easy to configure, supports editing, printing, uploading, and downloading of CNC files from a single interface.
Shop-floor automation software that lets machinists request CNC files remotely from their machine controls—eliminating unnecessary trips across the shop floor and boosting productivity, quality, and machine-tool utilization.
Real-time data collection software combining time and frequency domain analysis for vibration measurement, process monitoring, and modal testing. Offered in multiple configurations using NI hardware to match your facility's needs.
Mobile CNC/DNC file transfer software for Pocket PCs, offering extreme shop-floor mobility. Supports all standard character sets, drip-feeding, and unlimited machine control configurations—the full shop in your pocket.
Extends Machine Link™ with binary file upload/download capability. Ideal for field service technicians commissioning or maintaining older CNC controls, including the ability to send Executive Tapes.
Custom software and hardware engineering for process monitoring, industrial control, end-of-line testing, and system integration. We build Controlinks—interfacing SQL databases, PLCs, motion controllers, and industrial protocols.
Since 1998, Controlink Systems LLC has delivered software solutions purpose-built for real manufacturing environments across the United States. Our products help shops eliminate wasted motion, reduce scrap, and keep machinists focused on making parts. From small job shops to large automotive and aerospace facilities, our tools integrate seamlessly with legacy and modern CNC controls alike—because we know that downtime costs money and reliability is non-negotiable on the shop floor.

We combine deep machining knowledge with proven software engineering to deliver solutions that work where it matters most—on the shop floor.
Developing manufacturing software since 1998, serving U.S. shops with proven, continuously refined solutions.
A proud NI Partner Network member since 2000, delivering certified NI hardware and software integrations.
Our software works with old and new CNC controls, supporting RS-232, wireless, and a wide range of industrial protocols.
Built for everyday machinists and engineers—intuitive interfaces that reduce training time and improve shop productivity nationwide.
A dedicated team of engineers passionate about solving manufacturing challenges.
Founded in 1998 in Lawrenceburg, Indiana, Controlink Systems LLC has grown from a focused CNC/DNC software developer into a comprehensive, products-based engineering services company. For over 25 years, we have served manufacturers across the United States—from small machine shops in the Midwest to nationally recognized companies like The Timken Company, 3M, Kodak, and Oak Ridge National Laboratory. We became a member of the NI Partner Network in 2000 and have been advancing shop-floor automation, vibration analysis, process monitoring, and industrial control ever since. Our mission is simple: we love what we do, and we have a passion for solving your problems. Every product and service we offer is designed with the everyday machinist and engineer in mind.
CNC/DNC (Direct Numerical Control) software enables seamless file transfer between a computer and CNC machine tool controls. Without it, machinists must manually transfer programs—a time-consuming and error-prone process. DNC software like Machine Link™ streamlines uploads and downloads, ensures machinists use the latest engineering-approved files, and significantly reduces scrap and downtime across your shop floor.
Our engineering team is ready to help you find the right solution for your shop.
