RapidCNC Overview
RapidCNC is plugin that allows our open RMP EtherCAT soft motion controller to work with MachMotion’s CNC software user interface.
RapidCNC is configurable with machine specific software and features for new or used Milling machines, Lathe/Turning centers, WaterJets, Routers, OD/ID Surface Grinders and a wide variety of Custom machines.
RapidCNC has an Open Architecture – allowing OEM’s to select any compatible EtherCAT Node and any industrial PC.
RapidCNC is fully Customizable. The plugin is extremely powerful and can accommodate virtually any custom request.
