Software Add-on for OEMs
RapidCNC
OEMs can use RapidPath API to integrate a G-Code interpreter into your HMI/UI. Alternately, OEMs can use Art Soft’s Mach4 CNC software for production machine. RapidCNC was developed in collaboration with MachMotion.
RapidPath
Integrate G-code interpreter into your HMI/UI
RapidPath is a tool to set up your machine with RMP EtherCAT motion controller.
Once configuration is complete, you can access our API to load and execute G-code files.
RMP has an open architecture so the user can select any compatible EtherCAT slave device or any industrial PC.
The plugin is extremely powerful and can accommodate virtually any custom request.
Mach4 Industrial or Hobby
Use a production-ready CNC software for your machine
Mach4 is a CNC motion control software. Mach4 contains the screens and profiles to run Mills, Drills, Lathes, Routers, Tangential Knife, Plasma, and 3D Printer machines.
RSI has partnered with MachMotion to provide customers with a production ready CNC software.
OEMs can use Mach4 Industrial or Hobby version. Please click the link to see differences.
RMP has an open architecture so the user can select any compatible EtherCAT slave device or any industrial PC.
