Camera-based workpiece alignment software that eliminates manual setup errors. Mount. Align. Cut — with sub-millimeter accuracy.
CNC Camera Assistent brings computer vision directly to your machine control software.
Use any camera to automatically detect and align your workpiece on the CNC table. No manual measurement, no guesswork — just precision.
Deep integration with EdingCNC and PlanetCNC controllers. side by side, use your trusted controlled user interface, and start aligning immediately from your controller GUI.
Live camera feed with real-time rendered alignment guides, cross-hairs and reference markers superimposed directly over your workpiece.
The Automatic Material Alignment module detects markers and holes, findes the exact machine position and then then drives the machine axes to find subsequent markers or holes — fully automated. The software detects holes and markers, calculates the offset, rotation, and scaling, and sets the machine origin.
No complex installation procedures. No PhD required. Just connect, configure, and machine.
Mount a USB camera on your CNC machine and connect it to your PC. Launch CNC Camera Assistent — it auto-detects your camera and controller.
Run the one-time calibration wizard. Define your machine coordinate system, set reference points, and calibrate pixels-to-mm scaling.
Place your workpiece, load your g-code file with alignment instructions and start your CNC machine. Alignment will automatically be started, after which machining the workpiece automatically continuous. Full integration into your workflow, full automation!
From small workshops to production lines — CNC Camera Assistent adapts to your application.
Integrating GES CNC Camera Assistent into our gantry machines was a game changer. Our customers get precise, repeatable workpiece alignment out of the box — no more time-consuming manual setup. It just works, every time.
We automated our laser welding machine with GES and the results have been excellent. The camera alignment system delivers sub-millimeter accuracy even on complex weld paths — exactly what high-precision laser work demands.
For leather cutting, placement precision is everything. GES automated our cutting machine and the camera alignment makes sure every hide is positioned perfectly — minimising material waste and maximising the quality of every piece we cut.
GES automated the drilling of our metal profiles and the results speak for themselves. Camera-guided alignment means every hole lands exactly where it should — no matter the profile length or batch size. It's transformed the accuracy and throughput of our machining line.
GES — CNC Software Solutions is a Dutch software company specialising in vision-guided motion control for CNC machines. We build tools that make precision machining accessible, repeatable, and efficient.
Our flagship product, CNC Camera Assistent, combines real-time image processing, OpenGL visualisation, and tight CNC controller integration to deliver sub-millimeter workpiece alignment without expensive probing hardware.
With customers ranging from one-person workshops to industrial machine builders and laser specialists, GES software runs on shop floors across Europe.
