PROXXON CAD/CAM software for WINDOWS®



Brief description of software and hardware:
The software is harmonized with mechanics, motors and the control unit of the CNC machine, thus offering the optimum performance.

The CNC control unit controls the step motors of the machine. The PC software provides the machine with the geometry information for travel of the tools (via RS 232 interface). This means that the control unit is the interface between software and the mechanics of the machine.

Powerful micro processors and accordingly dimensioned step motors and phases ensure that the motors always provide enough power for any machining processes. Two freely usable output relays in the casing of the control unit provide facilities for control of additional functions, e.g. a working lamp. Including connection cables with suitable plugs and built-in power supply for connection to 220 - 240V.



Simple creation of work piece geometry
The CAD window is displayed when the programme starts. The work piece contour is created in the familiar WINDOWS® environment. Numerous auxiliary aids help during programme operation, which supports both coordinate entry (absolute and relative) in addition to mouse use.

Technology information is allocated to every drawing element. This makes, for example, different processing speeds and manual tool replacement possible.
Read-in of existing files in .dxf format is possible as well.

Automatic generation of CAM data
The finished drawing of the tool is converted, by a mouse click, into the instruction set for the machine. So, machining can be started immediately. The instruction set generated in this way is in accordance with DIN/ISO 66025 and can be manually edited and exported. Conversely, the system also permits importing or complete self writing of data sets.

Accessories for miller FF 500/BL-CNC



Dividing attachment UT 400/CNC
4th axis to the PROXXON miller FF 500/CNC. For perfect 3D processing! For individual parts and small series production. For manufacturing divisions, gear wheels, helical gearings, screw spindles and (including irregular) profiles. All angle positions can be approached by computer control. Easy horizontal and vertical construction. Driven by powerful step motor (2.0A) through toothed belts, and virtually free from play, adjustable worm gear. The high transfer ratio (40:1) provides enormous torque. Main spindle with 14mm drill hole and flange to suit face plates and all lathe chucks from the PD 400 lathe system. Smallest increment 0.003°. Recognition of reference position through light barrier.
Chuck and work pieces are not included in the package.
