Soft Tech is always looking to improve our software offering for our customers, and one area we have recently identified where gains could be made is through our CNC offering. With the growth of CNC machines in the market, we continue to look into ways to increase the speed to implement milling operations into the database. This is the premise for the newly launched V6 CNC Milling Sets feature for Soft Tech V6.
The new V6 3.8 CNC Milling Sets became available via a V6 license upgrade in May 2021. Once upgraded, users will have the ability to create milling programs from within V6. These are compatible for use with the Soft Tech Automation Module to control CNC Machines.
The new milling sets have a 3D graphical drawing feature to dynamically see the operation they create in V6. A milling set is a milling pattern that can be applied to any profile within the user’s database. The pattern is dynamic and will adjust to suit the profile bounding area. This allows one milling operation to be applied to multiple extrusions or combined extrusions, saving time in setup, increasing productivity and efficiency.
- Improve milling debugging – Make use of an operations display on the frame to improve milling debugging.
- Simplify milling updates – Intuitive and easy to use interface to help your team simplify the milling updates required.
- Automatic surface detection – Milling settings will automatically adjust to the first milling surface set as a reference point.
