Enhanced\u00a0Hole Location Input Options for Drilling<\/span><\/h2>\n

KipwareM<\/a>\u00ae provides the user with the multiple options for automatically calculating hole locations for bolt circles, holes on a line and grid patterns … but sometimes you just need to enter random locations that don’t fit into a set pattern.<\/p>\n

That drilling conversational menu has now been enhanced to give the user (3) options for entering such locations.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. X \/ Y locations can be entered directly on the conversational form with the # of locations available being unlimited. Just increment the counter up and enter the X\/Y coordinates.<\/li>\n
  2. Users can pop-up a form where up to (12) locations can be entered directly on that form all at once.<\/li>\n
  3. Users can define a DXF file and KipwareM<\/a>\u00ae will read through the DXF file and define every POINT element in the file as a hole location and automatically enter that location into the list. This is great option for loading\u00a0a large number of hole locations directly from a DXF drawing.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Enhanced SLOT MILLING Options<\/span><\/h2>\n

    We have enhanced our HORIZONTAL and VERTICAL slot milling menus in KipwareM<\/a>\u00ae to include the option of THROUGH slots as well as partial slots … what we call CAPTURED slots.<\/p>\n

    In addition … a recent past upgrade gave the user the option for total removal of the material in the slot or simply create a tool path that milled down the side(s) of the slot. This is a great option for creating toolpaths for narrow slots or slots where the cutter and slot width are the same or the cutter is only slightly smaller.<\/p>\n

    \"\"<\/p>\n

    Our labels HORIZONTAL and VERTICAL slots is a bit misleading … because\u00a0the single ROTATION ANGLE input allows the user to rotate the slot at any angle … all done with a simple single angular input.<\/p>\n

    \n

    As mentioned above … we are always happy to receive feedback and to hear new options users would like to see in our applications. If you have a suggestion … please reach out to Sales@KentechInc.com.<\/p>\n
