Vega MLM CNC ControlNow you too can have the most technologically advanced PC-based, high speed motion control Computer Numeric Control (CNC) on your shop floor! The Vega MLM series of CNC's  deliver high performance using 32 bit PC-based, computer technology and is based on an open architeucture platform. The MLM CNC Series has true Integrated constant-rate with block look ahead acceleration/deceleration allowing higher finishing feedrates while maintaining part accuracy. The advanced vector analysis ensures that the constant rate acceleration/deceleration keeps the machine motion smooth and fast.

Manufactured and Maintained in the USA



The MLM series of CNC's (Computer Numeric Control) give you standard features you would expect in a full featured, PC-based CNC control without the cost associated with most options. We understand that you need all the tools required to do a job efficiently and cost effectively. The list of standard features on the Vega MLM Series CNC software reads like most CNC's option list.

One of the major innovations in the MLM Series CNC (Computer Numeric Control) software is the unique Block Processing System that comprises the following sections:

Block Parser


The function of the Block Parser is to read a block of NC code from the input device and parse it into binary form for high speed processing by the subsequent CNC operations.

MLM CNC Control Comparison

Acceleration/Deceleration Preprocessor


The Acceleration/Deceleration preprocessor performs vector analysis on the resulting blocks and calculates a maximum allowable feedrate for the end of each block. The Acceleration/Deceleration preprocessor then completes its task by transferring the new block into the Acceleration/Deceleration FIFO buffer.

Interpolator and Acceleration/Deceleration Processor


The Acceleration/Deceleration processor creates true constant rate acceleration and deceleration as opposed to "S" curve or other Acceleration/Deceleration processors. Constant-rate acceleration and deceleration result in the shortest possible time (or distance) for stopping or accelerating to the programmed speed for a given peak acceleration or deceleration. Other profiles cause loss of time at the beginning or end (or both) of an acceleration or deceleration.

The Interpolator withdraws blocks from the Acceleration/Deceleration buffer and interpolates each block into points spaced by 2 to 4 ms. Each point lies on the line or arc defined by the block. Spacing is based on the distance remaining to get to the end of the block, the overridden programmed feed rate, and the allowable feed rate at the end of the block. The interpolator stuffs each interpolated point, along with its time period, into the Axis Drive FIFO buffer.
MLV Control Versus Standard Controls
  • Optimize your cutting speed through reduction in machine vibration.
  • High speed positioning through vector analyzed part programs data is better than just plain look ahead.
  • Reduce your benching time by utilizing finer data points without machine slow down.
  • Increase your productivity with higher finishing feedrates while maintaining surface accuracy.

The integrated constant-rate dynamic acceleration/deceleration dramatically improves surface finishes at higher feedrates by utilizing the maximum torque constant of the servomotors. Basic CNC I/O interfaces such as spindle control, spindle control with automatic gear change, tool changers, part indexers and pallet shuttle are just a few of the many logic modules available. With human-readable error messages, user prompts, and a menu driven interface, the MLM is one of the friendliest controls on the block. There are no error numbers to decipher, just plain English. The display pages were designed by operators for operators.
