The CNC system with stepper motor drives 83
in the PC application, remove geometrical discontinuities from the motion trajectory and determines the optimum feedrate of its realization. The stand-alone CNC controller generates high resolution and high precision CLK pulses with varying time period for the stepper motor drives. The presented system provides morę smoothness of operation and is morę resistant to vibration and falling out of steps.
