NC Costs?

Could someone provide a link to information about the NC module?

We're looking at some new Haas machines and wondering if the probes could be programmed with PC/DMIS (something I know a little about) and sent to the machine for execution. Does the NC module convert the Apt-like pc/dmis language to g-code format?

How much does the module cost? What software is comparable to it?

thanks,

  • jan,
    what were you referring to? I actually qualified that statement.

    I still think as a general rule, you should not measure on machines tools for a variety of reasons, except for what I pointed out earlier.

    What is your justification for checking parts on the machine tool?
    Parts too big for CMM?
    Intermediate Checks?

    It seems like lost production and independence of the measurement is a big reason not to. You also dont access to the datums or the variety of probing.

    What are the limitations of using the machine tool to check parts. When would you not do it?
