CNC features

• The Boxford software is an integrated suite of powerful CAD/CAM tools.
• The CAD includes the handling of most text fonts with excellent manipulation routines.
• Drawings from other CAD applications can also be imported and processed.
• A full 3D simulation of the manufacturing process, including a cycle time, can be shown enabling work to be proven without the need for trial cutting.
• Manual Data Input allows programs to be entered using world standard industrial G & M codes.
• As with all Boxford PC machines, the DUET incorporates hardware capable of continuous 3 axis movement and utilises Continuous Path Manufacture allowing large programs, imported from Major CAD/CAM packages, to be machined extremely efficiently. This is particularly useful for Rapid Prototyping of 3D reliefs.
• Touch sensitive control panel incorporating illuminated push buttons allows the machine to be operated without a computer.
• Active and accurate tool path graphics continuously displayed line by line during program simulate, write, and manufacture.
