The latest version of KipwareXC<\/a>\u00ae, Kentech Inc.’s ground breaking G code conversion software, contains a couple of new features catering to\u00a0Fadal users and others who need to separate X-Y-Z moves and add height offset calls to G code during conversions.<\/p>\n

COORDINATE SEPARATION<\/span><\/h2>\n

Some CNC controls have the capability to perform X-Y movement prior to a Z axis move when X-Y-Z coordinates are all commanded in the same line. On some controls … the command line :
\nG00G90X1.00Y-1.00Z.500
\nwould result in the Z axis not moving to the .500 position until the X-Y movement has been completed. Most CNC controls do not possess this capability and will perform the 3 axis move … X-Y-Z … all axis simultaneously.<\/p>\n

The new COORDINATE SEPARATION<\/span> feature now included in Version 15.3.0 of KipwareXC<\/a>\u00ae allows the user to set up a Profile to automatically separate this type of move command into two lines … with the X-Y positioning in the first line followed by the Z axis positioning command on the next on a line by itself.<\/p>\n

In addition … KipwareXC<\/a>\u00ae will automatically skip over this separation\u00a0while all drilling canned cycles are invoked and active … allowing normal Z axis transitions to still be available in canned cycle command lines.<\/p>\n

A simple checkbox is provided in the G-M Code Separation area of the KipwareXC<\/a>\u00ae Profile option screen.<\/p>\n

AUTO HEIGHT OFFSET INCLUSION<\/span><\/h2>\n

For\u00a0users who wish to auto-convert G code from CNC controls that do not utilize height offset commands to G code that requires such commands … Version 15.3.0 of KipwareXC<\/a>\u00ae can assist in these situations as well.<\/p>\n

In addition to the ability to separate X-Y and Z moves as outlined above … users now have the ability to set the KipwareXC<\/a>\u00ae Profile up to automatically insert any user defined height offset G code command during\u00a0the first Z axis move after a tool change … and also have a\u00a0corresponding H offset call command inserted either with using the current tool # or with a default 00 value.<\/p>\n

For example … original G code\u00a0formatted :<\/p>\n

T01
\nM06
\nG90S1200M03
\nG00X1.000Y-2.000Z1.000M08<\/span><\/p>\n

can be automatically re-formatted by KipwareXC<\/a>\u00ae to read :<\/p>\n

T01
\nM06
\nG90S1200M03
\nG00X1.000Y-2.000M08<\/span>
\n G43Z1.000H01<\/span><\/p>\n

The conversion will be done ALL AUTOMATICALLY by KipwareXC<\/a>\u00ae during the conversion process. As the screen capture below illustrates … the user has multiple options available for this re-formatting.<\/p>\n

\"automatically<\/a><\/p>\n

Post Processors are SOOO Yesterday and SOOO Obsolete<\/span><\/h2>\n

These two new feature releases on their own are very powerful options to have in your arsenal … add that to the multiple other conversion options available in KipwareXC<\/a>\u00ae … which ALL perform simultaneously during a conversion … and you can see why utilizing a post processor to re-post \/ re-format existing G code just doesn’t make any sense. KipwareXC<\/a><\/span><\/strong>\u00ae can take your PROVEN G code program and automatically re-format it for another machine \/ control and never lose all the integrity of the proven code. Sooo simple … sooo fast … sooo efficient.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n
