Colorado Springs, CO (PRWEB) April 10, 2014 -- Diversified Machine Systems, a leading US-based 3 & 5 axis CNC machine center designer and manufacturer, announces Fagor Automation’s new ProGTL3 programming language for use on their Fagor 8065 CNC, an optional feature on many of DMS’ 5 Axis CNC Machine Centers.
The ProGTL3 was designed to extend shop floor programming capabilities, allowing for complex profiles to now be programmed in a simple format on the shop floor right on the CNC control, without needing expensive third-party software solutions.
Fagor CNC controls have traditionally provided 3 methods of part programming:
1. ISO G-code language as a Universal Standard
2. Parametric programming for creating custom screens, editors, cycles or subroutines
3. Conversational programming utilizing hot keys coupled with intuitive fill-in-the-blank graphic assist screens
Based on orientated geometry model, the ProGTL3 (Professional Geometric & Technological Language – Level 3) allows uses to resolve any flat profile with no extra mathematical or trigonometric calculations, nor the need for third-party CAD/CAM software.
The language offers 5 G-Codes (G10, G11, G13, G20, G21) to describe any type of geometry. Any geometry can be defined by just using these codes, but ProGTL3 also includes functions for faster and easier programming of complex shapes. ISO programmers can now combine conventional functions of ISO programming language with ProGTL3 to implement a flat profile without having to use complex trigonometric calculations to calculate undefined points.
During the programming process, the user can view the programmed shape of the geometry being created in real time. This, plus the ability to program elements like points, straight lines, arcs, corner rounding (radius blend) and other basic features as well as utilize geometry that does not originally belong to the final part makes it easier to create complex shapes quickly and easily. In program execution, the Advanced Tool Inspection Mode allows for numerous in-cycle program jumps, edits, searches and tool offset modifications just by pressing the Cycle Stop Key.
