Features

Easy Configuration for quick start projects

Save time with built-in configurations. Choose from a variety of pre-developed, ready-to-use programs for 3D printers, routers and other popular machine types. Each configuration draws on extensive Yaskawa experience with applications like yours.
Screen layout stays naturally neat. Compass is built around a column-based format, so screen elements always stay in good order.
