Can I EMC2 to controll 5axis robotic arm CNC?

[goaII]

Hi.
I've found on CNCZone (unf. don't save the link) that LinuxCNC can work with robotic arm (non linear motion axis).
Maybe someone have experience on this?
Is that true or 600Mb was a "trash" download?

Thanks!

It can do it... This is what an expert had to say.

"yes it can, it can drive puma, scara, hexapods(mini-tetra), etc typed non-linear machines/robots. No, it was not a trash download"

emc2 can do it but your going to have to do a lot of research.

Go for it

Thanks samco!
Helpfull info! Will try now to apply...

I've decided that downloading of EMC with Ubunto was not a trash at least because of 1CD Linux distrib. All Linux I was trying or using before was on a 3 CD min.
