- (Dublin, Ohio -- May 18, 1992) AUTO-CODE Mechanical has announced the
- addition of 4-axis wire EDM (electric discharge machining) capability to
- its NC-AUTO-CODE NC/CNC programming system. Previously, only 2-axis wire
- EDM was supported by the program. Synchronization of the two wire guides
- is provided through a graphic interface under operator control which
- provides immediate visual verification of the wire program as well as
- collision detection. The program supports all standard wire controls and
- offers bidirectional skimcuts. It will be incorporated into Version 2 of
- NC-AUTO-CODE which will be provided without charge to all users of the
- program with a current maintenance agreement. The NC-AUTO-CODE package
- costs $3495 and also supports lathes, milling machines, turning centers,
- lasers, flame cutters and punch presses.
-
- NC-AUTO-CODE uses the new AutoCAD Version 11 ADS compiler-based programming
- interface to achieve significantly higher levels of performance than
- traditional integrated CNC packages. The act of compiling (translating
- source language into machine instructions before the program is run)
- greatly increases the speed of execution and also makes it possible for
- the program to control the computer more completely. The new interface
- makes it possible for NC-AUTO-CODE to offer all of the capabilities of
- stand-alone systems, such as real time animation of the programming path,
- while remaining tightly integrated within the AutoCAD environment.
- NC-AUTO-CODE runs on 386- and 486-based personal computers and Sun
- Sparcstations in conjunction with AutoCAD Release 11.
