![]() These include a revamped trajectory planner, improvements to the G-Code interpreter, a new operator interface, onboard conversational programming, and a host of other enhancements. During that time, we’ve made substantial improvements to the underlying source code to make PathPilot a viable commercial product. Our own development work began in earnest 4 years ago. That software has evolved through a variety of projects over the years, notably EMC2, LinuxCNC, and most recently MachineKit. Its roots are in public domain software first developed by NIST (National Institute of Standard and Technology) in 1989. PathPilot is a universal machine controller for Tormach CNC mills and CNC Lathes. For existing PCNC 1100 or PCNC 770 owners that are eager to try out PathPilot for themselves, we are launching a public beta test of the software, beginning this week. In the very near future we will begin shipping PathPilot as the standard control option for the PCNC 1100 mill, PCNC 770 mill, and 15L Slant-PRO lathe. It will provide a significant step advancement over our previous Windows-based Mach3 controller in performance, ease-of-use, and reliability. It is compatible with all previous hardware generations of PCNC mills. PathPilot is an entirely new control architecture developed specifically for our products by the Tormach engineering group. Today, we are announcing the pre-release of PathPilot™, our next generation machine controller for the entire Tormach CNC product line. ![]()
