The future of motion control... the MC464
The latest addition to the Motion Coordinator range is coming. The new MC464 supports up to 64 axes of motion with 64 bit integer position registers for ultra precise axis resolution. With support for networked digital drives, and programming with Trio BASIC or IEC61131 it saves interconnection time, increases flexibility and gives you lots more processing power. With many other features to make motion control even easier, the next generation of Motion Coordinator has arrived! If you want to be amongst the first to experience the MC464 Motion Coordinator and test its performance, cost saving benefits and flexibility then follow this link.

Easily generate programs from CAD data
Most design work today is done on Computer Aided Design packages. Big efficiencies can be gained by connecting machine tools directly to CAD design geometry. Our CAD2Motion package will save you valuable time by generating a Trio BASIC program directly from a 2D DXF file. The simple to use package comes with many useful features. This is one of the many free software tools provided by Trio

Include function saves programming time
Common variables that give a description to a parameter are often used to make program code more readable. If you have multiple tasks inside Motion Coordinators, then defining these variables in multiple programs can get confusing and wastes time. Save time and take advantage of the include functionality that allows you to define your variables once and include their definition in multiple programs quickly. Full details of this command is in the new programming manual Chapter 8 p154.

NURBS allow complex surface definition 
Do you have any applications that require following complex surfaces? Data for these surfaces is generated by CAD packages and NURBS are often used to describe and export the surfaces. Trio's Motion Coordinators can expand NURBS, unlocking the potential to generate complex profiles. Typical applications include painting complex surfaces or manufacturing 3D models.

G Code capabilities available
One of the standard languages that is widely used in CNC machines is G code. This language is typically output from many CADCAM packages and enables designs to be transferred rapidly to machines. Trio Motion Coordinators are able to interpret G & M codes using a standard Trio BASIC program to interpret the codes to generate commanded actions in the system.
