Machining (CNC)

The PRO 1 and PRO 2 engraving software programs from 2L inc. are full featured, simple-to-use drawing programs that produce standard G code NC files that are compatible with virtually any CNC.

A 20mm spring-loaded engraving toolholder is available from 2L inc. The holder can be used in a CNC machine with a 20mm collet or endmill holder and is for high-speed production engraving on flat, curved or uneven surfaces.

2L inc. introduces PRO 3 CAD/CAM engraving software. The software creates G-code programs for producing 2-D data matrix bar codes on 3- or 4-axis CNC milling machines or multiaxis lathes.

NUM is extending the power of its world-leading tool grinding software package, NUMROTO, with enhanced collision detection and other new features.

Tool manufacturers can now automatically create dimensioned engineering drawings of machine tools showing their precise geometry, by using a new facility for NUM's renowned NUMROTO grinding software.

A high performance 11-axis CNC system from NUM has enabled machine tool manufacturer Sicmat to create a gear honing machine for post-hardening fine finishing.

NUM Corp. has launched a new generation of its CNC platform, providing machine tool manufacturers with an exceptionally flexible and scalable solution for safe control of machine tools.

NUM Corp. announces two new brushless servomotor ranges for CNC machinery applications which provide major savings by eliminating the need for a separate encoder cable.

NUM has released a sophisticated system-wide functional safety architecture for its CNC system, providing an exceptionally scalable solution that can be applied very easily to almost any type of machine tool — regardless of complexity or number of axes. Known as NUMSafe, it includes a dedicated safety PLC, safe input and output modules, and digital servo drives with built-in safe motion monitoring.

In collaboration with NUM, machine tool rebuilder North East Technologies Inc. has developed a CNC retrofit package that brings the performance of early generation hob sharpening equipment up to modern-day standards.
