Tormach PathPilot

2017 version 1.9.8 | 1.5 Gb

TORMACH

Inc. has released

PathPilot

version 1.9.8, next generation machine controller for the entire Tormach CNC product line. This is an entirely new control architecture developed specifically for products by the Tormach engineering group. It is compatible with all previous hardware generations of PCNC mills.

PathPilot is a universal machine controller for Tormach CNC mills and CNC Lathes. Its roots are in public domain software first developed by NIST (National Institute of Standard and Technology) in 1989. That software has evolved through a variety of projects over the years, notably EMC2, LinuxCNC, and most recently MachineKit.

Our own development work began in earnest 6 years ago. During that time, we’ve made substantial improvements to the underlying source code to make PathPilot a viable commercial product. These include a revamped trajectory planner, improvements to the G-Code interpreter, a new operator interface, onboard conversational programming, and a host of other enhancements.

PathPilot, however, is not just software. It is also new dedicated hardware “inside the box” designed specifically for motion control, along with complete documentation, and end-user support. Unlike our previous generation controller, PathPilot is a fully integrated and purpose-designed CNC motion control platform for Tormach products.
