What will be an ideal response?


In 2007, a new machine tool control language was developed to enhance the older G-code. It is a language that connects CNC process data with the product description of the product being machined. Called STEP-NC, it allows tool parts descriptions to be independent of the machine tool. It also allows parts inspection information to be passed back directly to the machine tool to correct process errors.
