3.6 Machine tool

3.6 Machine tool
The FlexMT system provides a framework for handling the most common machine
tool interface types.
Interaction with the machine tool is handled by a machine tool specific module
(Machine.sys). This module translates actual machine tool communication signals
into a standardized set of commands to be understood by FlexMT.
This standardized set of commands can be expanded and adopted. Due to the
large variety of machine tool interfaces and integrator needs, it is the integrators
responsibility to implement this interface module.
Refer to section on machine tool connection for hardware information and section
on robot program for further implementation suggestions.
