Segmented Motion
Increase Throughput with Advanced Multi-Axis Motion Coordination

Many motion control applications require coordinated motion along a multi-axis path, typically defined as a series of line and arc segments. ACS’ Segmented Motion feature provides this functionality for up to 6 total axes. It also includes sophisticated look-ahead velocity adjustments and corner processing for up to 2 axes. Digital outputs are easily synchronized to motion segments for seamless control of lasers, extrusion heads, and other devices.
