NC Costs?

keith
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,
Keith

  • Hey Jan, are C axis part of the calibration? I am thinking of backlash issues that I have seen on machines that are not supposed to exhibit backlash. Or is the C axis not part of the measurement routine? I know nothing of PCDMIS NC. I am in J's camp where I will not lend any credibility to a machine tool's measurements for the most part. But I can see a value for in process monitoring especially on large parts, long run times, situations where breaking the setup is timely/costly, I'm sure the reasons add up. I know you are doing well by it but do you have any pitfalls to share. Things that you have to work around perhaps?
