CNC Software, Inc. has announced a 3-axisand 4-axis milling post processor that will unleash the highest productivity on SINUMERIK-controlled machine tools. This new post processor was developed utilizing the technical expertise of Siemens CNC engineers.
This post processor provides 3- and 4-axis support for SINUMERIK 808D CNCs from Siemens. Some features include:
- CYCLE 832 Support for High Speed Settings.
- Work offset support matching control capabilities.
- 808D optimized Drilling Cycles (CYCLE 82, 83, 84, 85, 86, 840), with full 4-axis support.
- Numerical tool call with offset D#.
- TOFFR functionality to support cutter compensation wear strategy.
- Optimized Multiaxis toolpath using the FGROUP and FGREF commands.
- A Siemens application guide.
It is cooperation like this that provides Mastercam users the opportunity to truly complement their CAM investment and give their shops the best chance at a more efficient manufacturing solution, from design to part.
