ctrlX AUTOMATION - G-Code Runtime

The G-Code Runtime app is a software application to interpret and execute G-Code commands. G-Code is a language to control CNC machines (Computerized Numerical Control) for applications, e.g. in the areas of Manufacturing, Robotics, Dispensing, Additive Manufacturing and Bending. Thus it is an ideal upgrade of the license for Cartesian Kinematics.

The G-Code Runtime App translates G-Code commands (DIN 66025) into motion functions and finally movements of kinematics and axes. Therefore, a Motion license and a Cartesian Kinematics or Robotics add-on license are required for the G-Code Runtime App.

The use of the app requires one or more licenses.
