| Three axis milling machine | ||
| 1 | Up to three motors | Up to three motors available. |
| 2 | PWM spindle control | Analog spindle speed control mode. |
| 3 | Three motion modes | Three motion modes: "Exact path" visits the programmed point exactly with maximum allowed speed, "Exact stop" visits the programmed point exactly with absolute stop and "Constant velocity" mode visits the programmed point aproximately with commanded motion blending tolerance. |
| 4 | Soft Limits | The software controlled boundaries of the working area. Quick turning on and off soft limits per axis is available. Boundaries are displayed in the toolpath preview area. |
| 5 | Restore state at next run | Saving system state after a regular program restart. All coordinates, offsets, state of the interpreter, the last opened file, last line number, etc. are saved. |
| 6 | Setting up the "Probing" | Allows you to set such parameters as the speed of the search for the workpiece and the correction for the thickness of the sensor for determining the tool offset. |
| 7 | IO signal state | Indication of input / output signals allows to clearly diagnose the correct connection of auxiliary equipment such as motors, sensors, relays etc. |
| Machine Setup Wizard | ||
| 8 | Settings Import | Quick import settings from different CNC systems. |
| 9 | Axis calibration | The calibration feature allows to calculate the value of the motion parameter "steps per unit". To do this, a test move to a given distance is performed and the actual distance traveled is measured. The system will automatically calculate the new value of the SPU and offer to apply the new motion settings. |
| 10 | Software gantry axis alignment | The feature allows to programmatically eliminate the deviation of the gantry axis of the cnc-machine from the perpendicular to the reference sensors and four marked points. The alignment module looks like as a step-by-step wizard with a detailed description of actions for the cnc machinist and schematic images. Physical fitting of the home sensors of the portal axis is not required using this feature. |
| 11 | Motion settings calculator (function in development) | Allows you to accurately calculate the parameters of the axes, knowing all the necessary characteristics of the equipment. |
| Cnc Pendants | ||
| 12 | XHC pendants | Supported devices: WHB04-L, XHC LHB04, XHC WHB04B-4, XHC WHB04B-6. |
| 13 | XInput gamepads | Supported gamepads: all XInput devices such as Xbox 360, Xbox One, SPEEDLINK SL-6566-BK etc. |
| 14 | PLCM-R1 pendant | PLCM-R1 Ethernet CNC pendant support. |
| Toolpath Preview | ||
| 15 | 3D visualization | Display G-code model as a 3D surface (depends on the structure of G-code). |
| 16 | Toolpath preview | Graphic representation of the toolpath and G-code execution progress. |
| 17 | Model bounds | Display dimensions of the G-code model in graphical and numerical representation. |
| 18 | G-code start line selection by visualization | Option allows to quickly select G-code start line in tool path preview window by mouse double-click. |
| 19 | Toolpath settings | Several options for setting the quality of the display model. Feature allow to choose the optimal performance and visual settings for different computer hardware. |
| 20 | Toolpath color settings | Color settings for each toolpath item. |
| G-Code Files | ||
| 21 | Recently opened g-codes caching | G-code caching allows to significantly reduce large files opening time (500000 lines and more) by saving some auxiliary information on disk. |
| 22 | Unlimited G-code size | There is no additional limit on the size of the G-code program. File size is limited only by computer hardware. |
| 23 | G-code drag-and-drop | Fast loading of G-code lines or files by dragging with a mouse (Drag'n'Drop). |
| User Interface | ||
| 24 | Predefined screensets for UI | Several options for pre-installed graphical user interfaces (modules) for different types of cnc machines and a different number of axes of the machine. |
| 25 | Multiple color themes | Several different color themes for all standard modules. |
| 26 | Macros to buttons binding | Option allows to bind any macro to GUI button. This button can be assigned a hotkey or used by pendant. |
| 27 | Touch screen support | Support for modern touch displays. |
| Coolant and Aspiration | ||
| 28 | "Smart" control of the simple smoke aspirator | The feature allows to automatically control a simple aspiration system of a thermal cutting machine, consisting of one aspirator. There is a configurable delay to turn off the aspirator after cutting to completely remove smoke. The aspirator always remains active during G-code execution. Automatic zoned down draft air table control is available as separate feature. |
| 29 | Coolant Control | The feature allows to control the supply of coolant through the standard M-codes. M7 - turn mist coolant on, M8 - turn flood coolant on and M9 - turn both M7 and M8 off. |
