OMATIVE ACM systems are available in various configurations – depending on the CNC type, model, and version. In each configuration, OMATIVE ACM systems consist of two main components:

• ACM user interface that is used to initialize, configure, and monitor the ACM functions
• ACM real-time control that automatically executes the control and monitoring functions in real-time

Depending on the specific CNC, each ACM component may be a software component fully integrated into the CNC, or firmware built into an Add-On Hardware package. Solutions integrated into the CNC are always preferable since they do not require additional hardware components and wiring. However, All-Software solutions are usually available only for later CNC versions. For older versions of CNCs, some hardware component may be required.

All CNC systems have the option of using the Add-On Hardware configuration.
