Accordingly, we can confidently say that PMC controllers provide more value per dollar than any competing product. Our product prices vary widely, depending on the model, the number of axes (in some cases), the options ordered, and the applicable quantity price break. To Get a Price Quote

Our highly experienced engineers (with an average of more than 10 years experience with PMC products) offer direct technical and engineering support to all of our customers across the globe. By supporting our customers in this way, we have been able to consistently offer the highest level of technical expertise possible - and the most efficient and effective results for our customers. We measure our success by the quality and strength of our customer relationships. Acccordingly, we're proud of the many long-standing partnerships we've developed with customers around the world - founded on mutual trust and cooperation, and sustained by consistently delivering more than we promise. You can view a partial list of PMC customers here. Custom Engineering
One of the most important aspects of our support strategy is our ability to quickly deliver custom solutions to our OEM customers. We're able to provide our customers with significant new features or performance enhancements, usually within just hours or days of a request. Our product designs also play a crucial role in this strategy. Our current products feature a flexible FPGA architecture and generous CPU processing power, which allow us to easily add new features or optimize performance for specific tasks without over-burdening the hardware. So if you have a unique application requirement which is not met by existing off-the-shelf solutions, ask us how we might provide the unique capabilities that you're looking for. PMC Support Partners
