  • New import profiles from CAD or drafting packages using DXF files
  • Smart contouring for improved profile cutting machine performance
  • Tutorials and solution wizards for quick startup
  • 3D preview window for easy visualization
  • Automatic generation of LabVIEW VIs or C code
  • Point-and-click user interface for interpolated moves, circular moves, and contouring moves

NI Motion Assistant speeds up the development and testing of motion applications by providing an easy-to-use interactive environment. You can convert any application developed using NI Motion Assistant to C code or NI LabVIEW VIs for final machine deployment, eliminating the need for any additional programming. With the Version 2.2 release, NI Motion Assistant adds the ability to import motion profiles created in CAD or drafting packages using the widely accepted DXF file format. Using this new feature with the NI patent-pending smart-contouring algorithm, you can implement precise motion profiles for cutting or scribing applications.

NI Motion Assistant works with NI motion controllers for blended trajectory control and fully coordinated circular, linear, point-to-point, gearing, and vector-space control. NI Motion Assistant offers its smar-contouring functionality with an API that you can call from C, Visual Basic, or LabVIEW. Smart contouring is useful in metal working and CNC-type applications for which the machine needs to trace a different contour every time.
