Open Flexible Software

Highly flexible CNC Software platform

Modern API programming

Multi-Kinematic configurations

Motion Control Software

From the introduction of the hand wheel, which allowed users to easily step forward and back through a program, through to developing and implementing the patented soft axes, our achievements have cemented our status as an industry leader in machine system development.
 
Core kinematics allows machine joints to be mapped to real world machine coordinates, simplifying a complex machine into a number of easy-to-command axes. Our MPG feed, retrace and active program edit features allow you to correct points immediately during a dry-run without the need to restart. Soft axes allow complex axis combinations to be programmed using a virtual or software axis.

Features and Benefits

AM Core is designed to run on standard PC hardware within standard Microsoft Windows Operating Systems.  Using standard ethernet ports supporting the EtherCAT Fieldbus, AMCore supports the development of custom advanced applications as well as the patented Soft (virtual) Axes hand wheel feed (MPG)

  • concurrent logical machines

    • Control multiple logical machines concurrently through individual channels
    • Multiple machines can be operated autonomously while their specific NC programs are executed from a single unit Synchronised operations can be easily achieved and maintained
    • Multiple machines can be operated autonomously while their specific NC programs are executed from a single unit

  • core kinematics

    • ANCA Motion kinematics are built right into the core data flow of the machine controller, separating axes programming from the joints
    • Once configured, programming machines with 5 or more axes becomes much simpler
    • The kinematics allow machine joints to be mapped to real world machine coordinates which simplify a complex machine into a number of easy to command axes

  • soft axes

    • Soft axes allow complex axis combinations to be simply programmed using a virtual or software axis
    • With soft axis the number of axes does not have to equate to the number of joints
    • A soft axis can be programmed just like any other axis

  • soft plc

    • Software based PLC Saves cost by eliminating the need for an external PLC to coordinate I/O


  • active retrace

    • Many multi-axis machines benefit from teach-in programming when developing cutting paths
    • MPG feed, retrace and active program edit features allows you to correct points immediately during a dry-run without the need to restart
