Does AB still make CNC Controllers? Tech. Support does not support questions about either product.

Thanks

I don't think they have any CNC Controllers.  While they have plenty of servos, drives and PLCs, the PLCs are not programmed in anything like G or M Code.  Additionally, I don't think they are capable of taking a Solidworks or equivalent and downloading or converting it into CNC code.  Rather, their Motion Analyzer can and would be capable of defining the various motions, speeds, etc, but again in a PLC or Ladder like coding format.

Seems to me that CNC is more the domain of Siemens or Fanuc.

Thanks for the reply! I have not found any new products of AB using G-codes.

I will search Seimens, Fanuc and Mitsubishi cnc.
