A low cost,
high capacity, Vertical Machining Centre specifically designed for
educational and training installations.
The PC controlled
Boxford MidiMILL Vertical Machining Centre is ideally suited to
a classroom environment and offers the ideal solution for high tech.
education and training requirement's. Operating on IBM/100% compatible
computers, the inclusive user-friendly software has routines for
Computer Aided Design [CAD] at both simple and sophisticated levels
and will process the drawings through to a full machining routine.
CNC features
- The Boxford
software is an integrated suite of powerful CAD/CAM tools.
- The CAD provides
a variety of drawing tools, including 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 runs on the machine. Manual Data Input, utilising
Industrial Standard Codes, allows
programs to be entered using either line by line or conversational
programming.
- Incorporates
hardware capable of continuous 3 axis movement utilising the latest
Continuous Path
Manufacturing technology. This allows large programs, imported
from Major CAD/CAM packages, to be
machined efficiently and is an essential machine feature for successful
Rapid Prototyping of 3D reliefs.
- The axis
travel and table dimensions provide a machining envelope with
excellent Z axis travel for 3D
manufacture and generous X and Y travel for machining sheet material.
- Touch sensitive
control panel incorporating illuminated push buttons allows the
machines to be operated
without a computer.
- Active and
accurate tool path graphics continuously displayed line by line
during program write, test
run and manufacture.
