These programs can be programmed at the machine or offline such as mastercam or any other cam software.
#Prototrak post mastercam x4 manual#
It allows for manual machining with a DRO digital read out and allows for simple to complex cnc programs. Program your part turn your handle and the program steps through the cycle at the speed you turn the handle, reverse the hand it back steps. I would like to add the tracking feature. SMX offers direct import of dxf files and on machine programming. The only difference between the two is level of conversational programming. Like I said I am ordering knee mills with Emx controls for 3 axis and bedmills with smx controls 3 axis. We also have one of their cnc lathes with exact same controls as mill which is nice. But in all honesty I have really never need them serviced in over 15 years. I also like them because they are local to my school and service calls are not outrageous. SWI offers their base line knee mill with 2 axis cnc for around $18k they work with education, but are not a huge company that can offer huge discounts. Prototrak has been around a long time and services the prototype machining sector, one off parts. This is basically what our Bridgeport conversions are. Anyone care to give more details about their setup and experience with this equipment? I was not familiar with Prototrak until recently and now I’ve seen them mentioned a few times. (or breaking the mill :eek: ) #handwrittencodeprobs
The number of times plastic has saved me from breaking an endmill or wasting Aluminium plate is too high. Otherwise, how will they know when something is going wrong?Īlso, once you get the CNC, test programs either in air above the piece or in plastic to see if they will actually work.

I would also agree with this, students should understand how to operate a mill by hand before using a CNC, or writing conversational code. My students need to turn handles prior to running a Haas. I just ordered prototrax knee mills to square up material and run 3 axis program just as we have since 1999. We are coming to a end of constructing a new facility with many high end machines. This has the simplest user interface I have seen and used. Having a cnc that programs conversationally is a huge advantage as to other options that require extra software. I will second this option, we have had converted Bridgeports by southwest industries since the beginning of our team.
