the market. With intelligent code editing, side-by-side file compare,
single channel DNC, and integrated graphical back plotting, the Predator
CNC Editor is the ideal choice for a small shop or the largest facility.
CNC
Intelligent Editing with Undo and Redo Tired of manually editing
CNC code?
Dozens of CNC intelligent editing
commands make changes to your CNC program quickly and easily. Edit
confidently with the ability to undo and redo the last 256 changes.
Microsoft® Word compatible menus, toolbar, and shortcut keys make
Predator CNC Editor easy to learn.
File Compare
Need
side by side file comparison?
The Predator CNC Editor includes an
integrated file compare feature with synchronized scrolling and line by
line edit/change review.
Compare
CNC code changes made on the shop floor.
Highlights the specific G code, M code, X axis, Y axis, Z axis, or other
appropriate CNC code when finding differences
and fixes them with a single click of the
mouse.
Supports comparing the current file in memory against the same file on the
hard disk.
View
File Compare Summary Report.
A summary report and numerous options to
ignore spaces, blank lines, leader/trailer, feed rates, spindle speeds and
tool changes simplify the process of integrating shop floor edits with a
master CNC program.
Unlimited File Size
Trouble with large files? The Predator CNC Editor supports up to 32
Megs of code per CNC program. In addition, edit multiple CNC programs at
the same time, with the ability to cut, copy, and paste between them.
Single Port CNC Communications in the
Background Limited with your
RS-232 CNC communications? Send, receive,
and dripfeed to one machine at a time, via switch box or direct connection to any RS-232 compatible CNC
machine. Works in the background even while other software applications
are running. Supports an unlimited number of different CNC machines with
appropriate hardware. Includes an easy to use DNC restart command to
automatically rebuild the CNC program from any point, when
tools break.
NOTE: An
upgrade to our full
Predator DNC product provides support for DNC networking of multiple CNC
machines at the same time.
Graphically
Verify CNC Code
Ever gouge a part, break a tool or crash a CNC machine?
Graphically verify CNC code by quickly backplotting a wire frame model of
any CNC program in a true 3D environment. Supports 1-4 view ports, eight
predefined views, zoom in, zoom out, pan and fit. Print any view and
quickly add graphics to your setup sheets.
Backplotting and 3D animation now supports canned lathe cycles for
turning, facing, grooving and threading.
3D verification and tool animation based on
Predator Virtual
CNC technology.
Supports 2 – 5 Axis Mills, Lathes, Waterjets, Lasers, and Routers.
NOTE: An upgrade to our full
Predator Virtual
CNC product provides support for comprehensive CNC verification and
machine simulation.
CNC Templates Frustrated
by generic software applications? Predator Editor CNC Templates add
intelligence by remembering all the CNC control details. Includes a
library of more than 50 sample CNC templates
for user configurable machines and CNC
control definitions.
These templates are shared with
Predator Virtual
CNC.
Some of the machine templates include: Anilam, Deckel,
Fadal, Haas, Heidenhain, Heidenhain Conversational, Okuma, Seimens,
Toshiba and Yasnac.
ISO 9000 Compliant Printing Predator
CNC Editor automatically adds ISO 900x style headers and footers to every
page with automatic time and date stamps.
Full Math Operations including Trig Functions
Math, Boolean and Trig Macro support
for Backplotting and Verification
Support for math, boolean and trig functions have been added to the
backplotting and 3D animation. For example, Fanuc math, boolean and trig
functions include +, -, *, /, ^, MOD, INT, OR, AND, XOR, EQ, NE, GT, LT,
GE, LE, SIN, COS, TAN, ASIN, ACOS, ATAN, SQRT, ABS, ROUND, LN, and EXP.
Refer to the following example:
G3X[#2-0.275*TAN[80/2]+#1+#1*COS[80]]Y[#100+#1*SIN[80]]I0J[0.275-#100]
Compatibility
Works with every major CNC builder.
Supports G- and M-codes, tabular, conversational, ISO, APTCL and text
formats.
