3. Custom Controls
The best of CNC and Industrial Automation
> Multiple options for motion data
• 3D model drawing to motion
• DXF/DWG 2D shape to motion
• Canned wizards (input data) to motion
• CSV/XML cut files
> Custom HMI screen design
> Custom integrations
• Camera feed
• Probe
• Digital/Analog I/O
> Following are two case studies
3D model drawing to motion

4. Custom Application – Beam Punch
Project Overview:
Linear Punch machine with a left and right punch.
Using the user generated .dxf, position the material
and activate the punches to the proper coordinates.
Customer Need:
• Import DXF of part with punched holes defined
• Post machine code
• Run part
MachMotion Solution:
We wrote a simple post processor for SheetCam to
find the center of the punch holes and command
the positioner to that coordinate.
Using one of our default User Interfaces we were
able to give the customer a wonderful interface for
a custom project with an off the shelf system with
minimal setup or configuration.
From DXF:
To machine code:

5. Custom Application – Wood Router
Project Overview:
This Customer was using a third party engineering software to calculate
floor joist layouts and cut data. This information was being exported as
a job file in XML format. We were asked to interpret this data for each
job sent to the machine and command the machine positioning and
printer. We built an interface to allow the user to visualize each job and
load and select individual boards.
Customer Need:
• Seamless transition from current system to new control
• Minimal machine down time for retrofit
• Fully featured yet Intuitive user interface
• Optimize process to save time
MachMotion Solution:
• By integrating to the existing distributed IO devices and using the installed motors and
drives we were able to minimize the machine down time and put the first two machines
back in production each in 4 days.
• We built an interpreter for the XML job files from the engineering software for the board
data and seamlessly interfaced to all the auxiliary devices.
• Sent the label data to the printer and coordinated printing with the motion of the
board
• Created the cut list for the saw
• Created the motion profile for the router
