Description

Structural description of a multi-channel CNC

A CNC can be designed for several NC channels with additional single-axis interpolators.

The processing of an NC program can be executed in each channel. A group of axes moved together is used for this.

A single-axis interpolator can move a single axis, e.g, by a PLC command.
