Control it Right!

CNC Reporter is a “Process Monitoring” application that allows “real-time” collection and reporting of measurement (probing) data and other machine performance information direct from computer numerically controlled (CNC) machine tools.

CNC Reporter is critical in ensuring traceable and auditable quality results direct from a Machine Tool. CNC Reporter features:

• Real Time data collection through various CNC communication methods
• Automatic Creation of inspection / measurement reports for every component in a batch
• Generate SPC control charts based on toleranced features instantly
• Pick out trend information of tool wear (both roughing and finishing) and identify part / fixture movement in cycle
• Red Amber Green “RAG” Overview allows identification of all information in a single glance
• Data is written to SQL database in Real Time
• SQL database allows creatoon of a complete history of all CNC Results
• Customize the reports to suit your company requirements
• USB powered traffic light available from Werma for high visibility of out of control processes

Make it Simple!

GibbsCAM^® is a state-of-the-art, PC-based computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) system for programming computer numerically controlled (CNC) machine tools with machining or inspection cycles from solids and/or geometry.

GibbsCAM has always been associated with user-friendliness, compatibility, and machine shop efficiency. GibbsCAM supports:

• 2 through 5-axis simultaneous & positional milling
• Turning & Mill / Turning
• Multi-task Machining – Multiple Flows on Multiple Spindles with Multiple Turrets
• Wire-EDM
• Machine simulation
• Tombstone Machining

GibbsCAM also offers fully integrated manufacturing modelling capabilities that include entry-level 2D, 2.5D, 3D wire frame, surface modelling, solid-modelling creation, and the ability to access many CAD data formats.

While GibbsCAM has grown to provide solutions to companies such as Boeing, Ford, General Dynamics, General Motors, Lockheed Martin and Raytheon and now reaches global markets, it is still used by local machine shops and remains an exceptional alternative to manual programming for all sized shops worldwide.

Productivity+™ is a new simplified approach to producing Renishaw probing routines for machine tools. Running on Windows based platforms, the programs simplify the creation and insertion of probing routines into the manufacturing process.

(View the Renishaw Productivity+ web site)

Productivity+ uses a graphical user interface (GUI) to provide an extremely user-friendly programming environment. Simply pick features from a CAD model, or choose parameters from dialogue boxes, to define the program. When it is complete, select the required post processor and the output is automatically generated, ready for loading directly into the machine.

For even more peace-of-mind, the probing cycle can be run on the software’s inbuilt simulation system. Any errors in programming will be highlighted before the program even reaches the machine’s controller.

Productivity+ is available to run directly from within the GibbsCAM software (Renishaw Productivity+ GibbsCAM Plug-in), as a stand-alone graphically driven package (Renishaw Productivity+ Active Editor Pro) or as a text only editor (Renishaw Productivity+ Active Editor). All Productivity+ packages have the same basic features and are available with post processors for most common machines or can be customised to suit your own.
