Control via KinetiC-NC operating software
The CNC machine is controlled via the CNC control system KinetiC-NC.
In a CAD or CAD/CAM program (for example ConstruCam 3D, EstlCam, Fusion360, Corel
Draw, AutoCad etc.) the drawings are created and then saved in a compatible file format.
The interface between the CAD/CAM program and the KinetiC-NC software is the
postprocessor. This outputs the finished G-code for the KinetiC-NC.
Many CAD/CAM programs on the market already include the postprocessor for KinetiC-
NC. This data can then be collected from the control software (for example KinetiC-NC).
The motors for the axis movement are controlled via the control system. The motors and
the recirculating ball screw in Z or the racks in X and Y convert rotating displacement into
linear movement.
