Cnc software users????

AA/Altered
This section of the Forum is about dead??? Is there anyone that is using
PCDMIS CNC software out there? We are thinking about buying it for our Mazak machining centers and I was wondering if it is a wise investment? I would like some feed back please from anyone that has been using it.
I have used PCDMIS on a CMM for 16 or so years and I am pleased with it but we are trying to streamline some of the operations and we are thinking this would be a good advancement to check the part and to CAD while still on the CNC machine. I welcome all comments on this. Thanks

  • Can't help you on the software, but only on "process & procedure". If you want to use the mill to check the part, the check will only be as good as the mill, which MAY mean getting the mill calibrated/certified on a regular basis along with the CMM. Of course, this may also depend on the tolerances you are trying to hold.

    I think JAN was a big CNC user, if he doesn't show up, you could try giving him a PM.


    Renishaw are into 'probing' on Cnc machines with a stack of probes & the software to go with it. I had the job of re-measuring stuff off Mazak M/c centres that had already been 'inspected' by probing. To get it right the Cnc needs to be 'lasered up' beforehand & suffer no big 'Crumps' along the way.

    What we found was the operators found the errors sooner & not as they thought 'no more errors to put on report'.
