When we talk to programmers who are using a CAD\/CAM system … and we love to do that BTW … the major complaint we hear is regarding their post processor. There are basically TWO TOP compaints …<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. The G code generated always needs to be “tweaked”<\/li>\n
  2. They have to purchase posts for various\u00a0machines \/ controls<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    The next question is inevitably … Does Kipware\u00ae have a solution?<\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

    The Answer is\u00a0DEFINITELY!! … and for both scenarios !!<\/span><\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

    KipwareXC\u00ae for G Code Tweaking<\/span><\/h3>\n

    With tools like KipwareXC\u00ae<\/a><\/strong> and Kipware\u00ae CNC XChange<\/a><\/strong> … manually tweaking G code is SOOO yesterday. Like any good process … the more you can automate it and remove the “human factor” from the process … the more rock solid that process can become. Whether you are performing simple edits on the shop floor or complex changes including variables and line coordinate changes … KipwareXC\u00ae<\/strong> <\/a>can automate the process … and once set-up, will allow anyone to perform\u00a0the changes … even non-programmers.<\/p>\n

    KipwareXC\u00ae<\/strong> <\/a>is a completely user defined application where the user can use a mixture of pre-defined conversion options and our cutting edge macro variable language to basically tell the software what-to-convert-into-what. This combination allows the user to automate virtually any G code conversion required. From simple stuff … like M51 to M75 … to complex line conversions involving multiple addresses on the line such as converting G71P—-Q—-U—-W—-D—–F—- to\u00a0G85N—U—W—D—F—.<\/p>\n

    Pre-defined conversions are conversions that are defined inside the source code of the software … just pick it and it all gets done automatically. Some pre-defined conversions are :<\/p>\n
