Optimo is a big gantry-style 5 1/2 axis laser cutting/welding machine.
Programming Language
Optimo used Prima’s RML language.
It used a format like:
- COORD ABSOL
- SPEED 20
- PATH PTP
- MOVE (xxx.xx, yyyy.yy, zzz.zz, aa.a, bb.b)
where COORD selected the tool tip (COORD ABSOL) or raw machine axes (COORD ROBOT)
and PATH referred to the path from the machine’s previous position to the commanded position: a straight line (LATH LIN), an arc in space (PATH CIR) or each axis took the shortest distance (PATH PTP)
Just to make things more fun, the angular values were in Radians and the linear values were in mm.
Oh, yes- the SPEED is expressed in percent of maximum velocity!
You had to know the machine’s max velocity, and program the desired speed as a percent of that.
Amada’s customizations of the Optimo
Amada (US group) developed a custom reflective collimator system, a custom menu system for the PC, an automatic optics alignment system, and more.
Here’s the patent that applies to the optics alignment system:

Parts Available
I have a few of:
Custom keyboard overlays
Mirror alignment parts (motors and gearboxes)
A few other odds and ends.
I may have a manual around for this language, not sure.
If someone has need, please contact me.
unless you have a machine that uses RML, don’t bother.
We have A domino 1530 5 axis Laser that uses RML. We use Sicam for nesting. We have no 3d capability with SiCam and we occasionally modify the RML code to do some beveling both on flat plates and round pipe.
We do have some repeating parts that require some square holes that are beveled. Would you be able to write the codes for these parts if I provided you with a cadfile (dxf)?
I’m sending a reply by email.
we have an optimo 2545, cnc 9000L for sale as spare parts 2004 year of fabrication with PRC 4000 WATTS.
with software 2D sicam
Interesting. I don’t know anyone looking for such at the moment. Where are you located? It must be really worn if you are offering it as spare parts instead of a running machine?
