A custom macro is an instruction in a G code part program that represents a sequence of simpler instructions, known as a macro program. In a way, macro programs are like simple programs or batch files. Soft Servo Systems’ SMP general motion control products and ServoWorks CNC products support sophisticated custom macros that allow you to use variables and flow control structures such as loops. In this way, you can use program logic to eliminate redundant programming of machine functions, such as milling multiple pockets. Custom macros significantly simplify part programming and reduce part programming time by allowing reuse of programming pieces such as user-defined canned cycles. Soft Servo Systems’ extensive macro programming capabilities will save users time and reduce operator error.TOP Q: How many axes are supported? A: The number of axes supported varies for each product. The maximum number of axes for ServoWorks CNC products is 7 axes plus a spindle, with up to 5 axes of coordin
