The main trends and current directions of the development of «Hi-End» level CNC systems of world manufacturers are identified. Analyzed: architectural solutions, the use of high-performance fieldbuses, multi-channel and multi-axis machining, spline-interpolation in the processing of complex contours and free-form surfaces, 5-axis machining with 3D correction for the cutting tool radius and length, etc. Opportunities are investigated and defined the development prospects of Russian NC system «AxiOMA Control».
