Since R2017x, it is possible now to use a robot rather a machine-tool during the NC Program creation. All the milling operations, from 2.5 axis to multi-axis cycles, including also drilling can be handle by a robot.

This capability is available in our multi-axis solution (NMX & NMT) without additional roles. The robots library with more than 1400 robots and robot controllers is directly available in these 2 roles. It is also available in the Mid-market offer NMXX (NC Multi-axis Milling Programmer).

In R2018x, we are going further because now it is also possible to directly generate Native Robot Language as output from NMX , NMT or NMXX roles without needs of robotics licenses.
