DM released our 3D solid model "at the machine" software. Import 3D CAD models or create new ones at the machine or on your desktop. |
| Aug 2016 |
DM moved all operations to a new location in Southern California The new 11,000 sq ft building is home to our vertical machining center show room and CNC head porting |
| Jun 2015 |
We modified the 4K touch display to a more conventional horizontal mount. It also rotates and can be adjusted vertically, creating a sit or stand desk. |
| May 2015 |
Production was started on four more machines at Zision. This includes a VMC644, VMC855, VMC1066 4th Axis, and a VMC1277. |
| Jul 2014 |
We received our prototype VMC855 from our partners overseas. This is our demo machine and has also been used in product development. |
| Nov 2013 |
DM leased office space in Zhuji, which is 15 minutes from Zision. This has enabled DM personnel to oversee quality control at the factory. |
| Oct 2013 |
After visiting 10+ machine tool factories in China, DM selected Zision as our machine tool supplier and ordered VMCs to get the project off the ground. |
| May 2013 |
DM started our VMC project. We hired a full time bilingual chinese agent who had previously assisted with our electronics production in China. |
| 2012 |
Support for high resolution multi-turn biss encoders was added. |
| 2011 |
DM's pc based Serial Control system was released for all Rottler machines. |
| 2007 |
DM started producing automatic tool changers and complete cnc machining centers - sold through Rottler |
| 2005 |
Rottler engine building machines featuring DM CNC hit the market. |
| 2003 |
DM switched from dc brush servos to brushless servo motors and started controlling high power spindles.
|
| 2002 |
DM opened the doors of our subsidiary company, Direct Motion Head Porting - our 5 Axis CNC Porting and Digitizing service. |
| 1999 |
Our single processor control patent was granted. |
| 1998 |
We converted our CNC software library to run on the Windows 95 operating system. Our initial DOS software versions were depreciated. |
| 1996 |
DM relocated to Southern California and started working with Taiwanese importers. Around this time we discontinued our CNC retrofit packages and started selling new knee mills and bed mills with our control system. |
| 1991 |
Our first systems were sold in the early 90s. We called ourselves Micro Motion back then and sold knee mill retrofits. A lot has changed since, but the Single Processor PC based CNC concept is still the same. |
| 1985 |
The single processor PC based CNC concept research and development was started by Jim Trounson |
