Kentech Inc. is pleased to announce the release of Version 17.0.0 of our KipwareM<\/a>\u00ae – Conversational CNC Programming Software for Milling.<\/p>\n

This version contains new support options for RIGID TAPPING in all conversational hole menus in KipwareM<\/a>\u00ae. The first area to set-up would be in the SETTINGS page …<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

… where the user can define the PRE-COMMAND G code … and then select whether or not to include the S command on that line as well. Some controls … like most Fanuc controls … require a command prior to the G84 tapping canned cycle command line … and some require the appropriate S command to also appear on the line. For example … the standard Fanuc command for rigid tapping is :<\/p>\n

M29 S1500
\nG99G84 X— Z— F—<\/p>\n

Some controls … like Okuma … require the pre-command but do not require the S command.<\/p>\n

With this new upgrade … KipwareM<\/a>\u00ae will format and output the code according to this SETTING … and will carry the appropriate S command value and place it on the pre-command line if desired.<\/p>\n

Also … on all hole menus … a new field has been added for the user to define the PERCENTAGE of calculated FEEDRATE to use when generating the G code program.\u00a0All feedrates calculated through KipwareCSF\u00ae will now be output using a 100%\u00a0value for the feedrate calculated.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Previously … we had a built-in factor of 90% to accommodate non-rigid tapping … where the standard 90% of actual feedrate is used to allow the compression holder to pull out just a little to avoid bottoming out the tap when tapping using a compression holder. We have removed that 90% factor … and all feedrates are now calculated to a 100% factor. This field on the form allows the user to input a desired percentage factor if not employing rigid tapping … or to leave the default of 100% if employing rigid tapping.<\/p>\n

With almost all of today’s CNC machines having the capability of using rigid tapping … these new features in KipwareM<\/a>\u00ae will keep pace with this trend … and allow both older CNC and current CNC users to employ rigid tapping … or not … quickly and easily with any KipwareM<\/a>\u00ae program created.<\/p>\n

UPGRADE pricing is available on the www.BuyKipware.com<\/a> website through the link below :<\/p>\n
