What is the difference between CNC and general motion control?
CNC is for machine tool applications requiring precise coordination of all aspects of motion and a high degree of coordination for multiple simultaneous movements of tools to create workpieces. General motion control is for a wider range of applications,from requiring only that an object be moved from one place to another to sophisticated multi-axis motion control highly integrated with machine control. General motion control is used for factory automation, assembly lines, etc. for many industries, such as automotive, packaging, materials handling, pick and place, converting, food processing, laser cutting/engraving, plasma cutting, wood-working, and semiconductor industries.TOP Q: What is G code programming? A: “G-code programming” is a broad term to describe a coding system for part programming (motion programming) that mostly uses G codes, but that also uses S codes, M codes, T codes, etc. For example, the block of code “G00 X30.5 Y0.0 Z-5.0” is an instruction in a part program for
