According to the company, the development will enable designers to create machine tools for applications including multi-station production centers and rotary transfer machines with complex multi-role axis control requirements. It provides a flexible and efficient means of controlling a large number of different groups of interrelated or synchronized-motion axes via dynamic resource allocation techniques to share control across multiple CNC kernels. It further extends the flexibility of the company’s eight-channel Flexium+ 68 CNC architecture by enabling the control of as many as 32 servodrives to be timeshared by any of the CNC kernels in the system.
