Writing a simple script in python to estimate the milling time would be

AXIS does a simple milling time estimate. It is on the
File/Properties window with some other useful information about the
loaded program.

this, but we are looking for a machine controller and this might help us
to decide if this is the right place for us. So here is the story:

This sound not so bad. Actually we need this speed only for the rapid

you think?

Good point. What happens if the system is running out of lines? Does the
machine stop properly and

At the beginning of each program we measure the Z-profile of the surface
of the sheet. This profile is used to correct the position of the Z-axis

I have to admit I don't have a vast amount of experience of the
internals of EMC but it shouldn't be difficult to probe the whole sheet
then generate a correction matrix that is used before the G-code is
generated. Probing a large sheet would be very time consuming.
Do you need this for
One possible solution to the probing issue is to write a special
kinematics that interfaces with probing. With the kinematics turned off,
probe the sheet at the desired resolution. A special (new) command would
write the X, Y, Z coordinates of each probed point to the kinematics.

Actually, I think those were my words. EMC doesn't currently
have a feature to scan a surface and then modify the meaning of
a G-code file. There was some discussion once about a general
