For more than 25 years, MINT motion controls have been solving simple and complex motion tasks in the fields of
packaging, electronics assembly and test, simple CNC systems and many more. MINT is a high level programming

language for simple multi-axis machine control. It combines multitasking efficiency, with event driven responsive-
ness and a simple plain english language to simplify machine and motion applications. MINT is supported by different
platforms, such as intelligent drives, panel-mount analog / stepper, real-time Ethernet motion controllers, and plug-in
controllers for drives, providing versatility in tackling a wide variety of applications.
