Numatix Advantage

Processing Rate

Capable of processing at 50,000 blocks per second (block processing time of 0.025 msec)

  • Typical controls in the market have processing rates ranging between 600 and 3000 blocks per second

Feedrate is up to 32000 mm/sec (1250 ipm)

Positioning is up to 64000 mm/sec (2500 ipm)

All internal motion calculations are performed in 1 nanometer resolution (ultra-high-precision nano interpolation). Nano interpolation generates a smoother path and superior surface finish

Non-stop flow of point to point data

Continuous load on cutter

 

Smart 3-D Look-Ahead

80 High-Speed Buffers (translates to approximately 3 inches of motion into the part)

  • Typical controls utilize 4 buffers

Eliminates acceleration and deceleration fluctuations

  • Reduced thermals on machinery and components (i.e. Motors and Drives, Bearings, Ballscrews,…)

 

Flexibility and Ease of Use

English is used in place of obscure, vendor-specific, G-codes (Useful G-codes are still available)

  • A part-program can include BASIC statements, mixed with NC data

The Numatix CNC Control Software can also be used for any computing task:

  • Math
  • Data Collection
  • Testing
  • Simulations
  • And much more

The Numatix CNC Control Software is configurable. The machine builder is in full control of the following:

  • Machine specific data
  • Programmable G and M codes
  • Internal PLC, programmable keys, switches and timers
  • Screen layout – what is displayed where
  • Multi level and logged user access, by name and password
  • Dialogs, help screens and error messages

The Numatix CNC Control Software is a Completely Integrated Development Environment – It combines the following to provide an all in one package that includes everything required for writing applications:

  • Editor
  • Compiler
  • PLC
  • Testing and Debugging aids

 

 File and Networking Capabilities

Capable of handling NC files up to 3,000,000 lines

Programs can chain other programs, indefinitely

Current networks are 1000 times faster than RS-232, so that no data starvation or machine hesitation occurs

 

PC Based CNC Control

All hardware is COTS (Commercial Off The Shelf)

No expensive proprietary parts that are difficult and very expensive to get a hold of

Hardware independent – Various servo controllers (e.g. Delta Tau®), displays, digital and analog I/O’s and third party boards can be used without software modification, since they are controlled by device drivers. The Numatix CNC Control can also run on a desktop, for offline programming

Extremely low maintenance cost

 

Minimal Installation Time

Machine downtime ranges from 3 to 15 business days, depending on application

1 year warranty on parts and labor

Training at customer site once installation is complete – typically takes 1 day (learning curve is minimal)
