The big problem is you have two, parallel, X-Y stages. EMC doesn't have the interpreter set up to handle two totally separate coordinate systems. This is the same problem for wire EDM. The back end that handles the motion control could do it with no trouble. Changing the interpreter to handle XY and UV doesn't sound so difficult until you realize there are all these offsets, smoothing, look ahead, etc. to consider.
