Super Tech & Associates has developed the ‘Next Generation CNC Machine Tool Control Operating System Software Program. SuperCam demonstrates a whole new concept for cnc machining that is years ahead of the current technology. Increased efficiency and the time from design to the finished product is cut drastically.

SuperCam provides a direct machine control Graphical User Interface. The user has only to point and click with the mouse to move the machine to a different location. Machine control is as simple as drawing the part, add offset lines to reflect the tool path, import the tool path layer into, or create in SuperCam, then select and execute. The movement of the tool is followed and displayed graphically and numerically giving its location within the selected objects.

Rapid prototyping is a snap without having to create the traditional G-Code files. Create and edit drawings right in SuperCam or import more complex files and edit if needed. Select from one item to the entire drawing file to execute the application of the mechanism. Imported DXF, HPGL and BMP formatted files can be used as tool paths. SuperCam has a CNC code generator for creating and editing CNC G&M code files. CNC G&M code files can be imported and used as well for machine control via the parallel interface on a Desktop Computer.

SuperCam can accomplish any size task and the application possibilities are endless: Engraving, cutouts, 3D, prototyping, raster imaging, foam cutting, sampling, digitizing, tracing, and the list goes on. Can be configured to work with many different types of machines: Stepper or Servo motor driven routers, plasma torch, laser, bench mills, desktop mills, etc.

It is a graphical three axis universal operating system for XYZ mechanisms, using stepper or servo motors to create linear motion. The drawing objects are converted directly into "direction" and "step" pulse streams, or signals, that directly control three servo or stepper motor drivers through the parallel printer port of a DOS compatible desktop PC.

Some of the many features and benefits:
Simple to learn and use.
Run from a desktop computer.
Direct machine control Graphics User Interface.
Point and click to move the machine to a different location.
Create and edit drawings right in the program.
CAD features for creating arcs, circles, lines and points.
Edit polylines by joining, breaking, moving and inserting or deleting nodes.
Items can be copied, moved, rotated, scaled or erased.
Intricate parts can be designed and then cut to close tolerances.
Two special commands cause 3 dimensional tool movements.
Create offset lines to reflect tool paths or import tool path files.
Tool paths are displayed as vector lines, drawn either in 2D or 3D
Import dxf, hpgl, bmp, cnc G & M code files.
Import HPGL plot files or directly control an XYZ table.
Imported HPGL files can be edited for best tool path performance.
Full 3D G-code interpreter.
CNC code generator for creating and editing CNC G&M code files.
Use DXF, HPGL, G-code, TIF file formats as tool paths.
Rapid prototyping is a snap without having to create the traditional G-Code files.
The text lettering tool paths can be exported as CNC g-code files.
Includes seventeen built in Fonts for engraving.
Extensive configuration commands.
Can be configured to run many different types of XYZ mechanisms.
Stepper, Micro Stepping and Servo motors.
Cut Speed, Cut Depth, Transverse Speed and Transverse Altitude are easily controlled.
The order of events to cut and the direction of the movement can be controlled.
Benchmark feature.
