Description

Direct Motion manufactures a complete end to end 3 axis Windows based CNC system. It is the only true Windows based CNC on the market. It is geared to knee type milling machines and smaller bed mills. We build all our own electronics and write all our own software. We generally mount our control on new iron imported from Taiwan and sell a complete machine tool. Our CNC Knee Mill packages start at $22,000. Less than 1/2 the price of any Machining Center. Direct Motion does not use a DSP board. The PC itself closes all DC servo loops, coordinates motion, and does the Windows user interface. This requires the absolute minimum electronic hardware possible. This is the latest All American CNC technology and this single processor technique is patented by Direct Motion. Direct Motion CNC does everything from simple 2-D to complex 3-D meshed surfaces all with the built in software. No outside CAM software is required!1st Generation NC (Numerical Control) very simple generally point to point movement. Programs created a stored on paper tape. First NC machines were sold in late 60’s. NC machines are still in use but they are now few and far between.2nd Generation CNC (Computer Numerical Control.) A microprocessor used to generate and coordinate motion. More complex tool paths such as circular and helical interpolation are supported. Most cnc tool path programs created and stored in "G code" format. Complex tool paths are generally created off line on a PC based CAM system and down loaded over rs232 from the PC to the machine tool. 95% of currently used automated machine tools are CNC.
