- You can use the program for outputting CNC-files to
controls like the SMC800/1500 or to simulate the mill
process. You can't edit the CNC-code.
The software will run only on windows based operating systems such as
Win98, XP and 2000.
The following hardware systems are supported:
SMC800/1500 control without the
expansion board
Berger Lahr WDP5-318
Digiplan PDS15 + PDS15-2 or any
Pulse/Dir System (connected at the LPT-port or the USB Propeller Board)
For the simulation of the mill process you will need a good 3D-video card, because almost all of the calculations for the 3D-model
are done by the graphic card.
I hope the program is a helpful tool to some people.
