NUM will demonstrate the CNC axis-sharing capability of its Flexium+ 68 CNC system that is said to pave the way for versatile machine tools with complex control requirements. 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.
