Components are selected and placed onto a PCB. The controller's move buffer can be used to set the position of the XY axis. Vectored (interpolated) moves can be used to provide a direct path to the final destination. For higher accuracy machines, leadscrew compensation can be used to map the axes.
The moves can be sent over the communication link (USB, PCI, Serial) to the controller from a host controller. This could be in the form of a Windows based front end. Baldor's free ActiveX tools provide an easy to use interface between the controller and the host PC.
