Chapter 6 Programming Motion

Overview

The DMC-14XX provides several modes of motion, including independent positioning and jogging,
coordinated motion, electronic cam motion, and electronic gearing. Each one of these modes is
discussed in the following sections.
The DMC-1415 and DMC-1416 are single axis controllers and use X-axis motion only. The DMC-
1425 is a two axis controller and uses both X and Y.
The example applications described below will help guide you to the appropriate mode of motion. In
these examples the DMC-1415 and DMC-1416 may perform single moves only, while the DMC-1425
is capable of performing multiple axis moves.
Example Application
Absolute or relative positioning where each axis is
independent and follows prescribed velocity
profile.
Velocity control where no final endpoint is
prescribed. Motion stops on Stop command.
Motion Path described as incremental position
points versus time.
2 axis coordinated motion where path is described
by linear segments.
2-D motion path consisting of arc segments and
linear segments, such as engraving or quilting.
