The software is intended for the
study of NC technology to the professionals of the future in educational
institutes as well as a tool for today’s professionals working in various
companies.
The companies can use the software for independent training of new employees,
whereas the professionals within the company can use the software as a working
aid. For instance the NC-codes, macros, work cycle parameters, thread measures,
trigonometric calculations, calculation of cutting parameters and much else is
included within the software. The software also includes various tips that make
programming and setup more efficient, thus increasing the production capacity
due to reduced setup time.
The software covers a wide range of topics from the basics of NC technology to
macro programming. The topics have been thoroughly explained with various
illustrations and examples. The software incorporates several interactive
exercises, for instance simulators.
In the exercises the programme randomly chooses different values each time, and
thus the whole class can do the same exercises at the same time.
The software incorporates 16 utility programmes that help in the calculations
and procedures needed continuously in NC machining. All the NC codes and work
cycles are thoroughly explained using various examples.
The software also includes comprehensive sections dealing with work safety, FMS,
robotics and CAD/CAM.
