At Lasersoft we follow the KISS principle: Keep it Simple Saints
A CNC is most likely the best solution for doing complex multi-axes coordinated motion systems. Although modern PLC's contain some subset of the ability's of the CNC's programming methods, they do not lend themselves to to writing complex mathematical equations in a sequential high level language format. Why is that important? Because solving equations with multiple unknowns is nearly impossible to do correctly with any other language format.
Even so... Just because you use a CNC does NOT mean you will get the best solution. The way the CNC is programmed to operate is the key. Sometimes a programmer will be tempted to use standard trig equations to solve 3D problems instead of using linear algebra techniques. Or the programmer has not been experienced in proper program coding techniques so others coming along later cannot easily jump in and effectively work. The results are systems that may work "good enough", but the results are not elegant, exact, closed solutions which result in less than perfect positioning and or confusing unreadable, almost unsupportable code.

Custom CNC Automation Engineering
|
Lasersoft engineers have successfully implemented the following custom automation solutions
|
|
Lasersoft has provided complete system engineering Mechanical, Electrical and Software including pipe and wire and debug. We love to be Immersed from concept to completion on complex multi-axis manufacturing systems, we've provided turn key systems engineering designs for our customers and the kind of technical project management that makes for successful, smooth running projects, mitigating risks by identifying them well in advance. Lasersoft provides turnkey automation engineering for entire systems or subsytems on large equipment such as the section positioners on this Boeing 777x Fuselage Automated Upright Build (or FAUB as it is known) system in this article to the left. |
See the Automation World article on Boeing FAUB

Some of the projects we have worked on provided services and systems either directly or indirectly for the following:
Boeing, Spirit Aerosystems, KUKA, GM, Ford, Chrysler

- Do you have a need for a Custom CNC Automation Solution?
- Do you have build capacity but need Engineering capacity to take on additional projects?
- Do you have an application that is outside the realm of the typical motion control application programmer?
- Do you need expert consulting for risk mitigation?
