METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR PERFORMING WORK IN A THREE DIMENSIONAL SPACE

摘要

Method and apparatus for moving a workpiece and/or a tool to various locations in a three-dimensional space to perform operations on the workpiece wherein a micro-computer numeric control system is used to provide a multi axis motion control system using DC electric servo motors, each of which responds to its own control system to operate mechanisms which cooperate to perform the desired operations on the workpiece.
