AdvaNum Programming Suite
|
|
|
AdvaNum Programming Suite is a complete milling CAD/CAM and NC verification
solution. With this product you can create new or import existing part drawings, convert them into NC programs
and verify results using real CNC simulation and NC programs debugging modules. And all this is
done in just a few simple steps.
Create part drawings
It’s easy to create part drawings with AdvaNum. As with any other CAD you can define lines,
arcs, circles, build chamfer and fillets and use different layers and line types.
In addition, AdvaNum provides you with many CNC and CAM oriented features including support for various kinds
of spline curves and numerous geometrical transformations that can be performed on entities or
entire contours such as rotation, scaling, offsetting, etc.

|
Define contours
Basing on part drawing geometry, create contours that will define tool path trajectory.
You can define contours with multiple passes at different levels by Z-axis, choose from four
types of automatically generated approach/departure trajectories or define it manually.
You can specify the set of technological commands for each element of the contour.
And AdvaNum will help you choose optimal cutting conditions for every contour basing on
information about your machine, workpiece material and cutting tool you are using.
Tool database is seamlessly integrated into the system allowing you to select and manage your
tools on the fly.
|
Machine pockets
Create pockets basing on contours you have defined to remove a workpiece material within
specified boundaries.
Pockets can have an arbitrary shape and include any number of islands. Multiple parameters
allow you to describe pocket machining process in detailed and flexible way.
As with contours you can use Cutting Wizard to choose optimal machining parameters.

|
Utilize procedures
Through the use of procedures you can utilize a vast majority of macro-programs available in
AdvaNum CNC Macro Library and written in Fanuc compatible language for NC programs that are
not compatible with Fanuc CNC systems. There are macro-programs for different types of milling,
facing, slotting and geometrical calculations. Click
here to see a contents of CNC Macro Library.
|
Organize your program
|
|
Organize contours, pockets and procedures all known as tasks into the Task List. You can
translate all or only selected tasks into NC programs at any time. You can also modify created
NC programs by simply changing the task properties and their order in the Task List.
|
|
Simulate and debug NC programs
Before you run NC programs on a real machine tool verify them using realistic solid graphics
model of workpiece machining process. You can also simulate NC programs in step-by-step mode
while inspecting variable values, system status information and resulted tool path. This feature
is very useful for debugging and troubleshooting of custom macros and G-code programs with complex
logic. You can simulate and debug not only programs created with AdvaNum but any NC programs
written in Fanuc-compatible standard G-code. Click here for
more information about G-code simulation and debugging features.

Customize output
Customize the output language of AdvaNum to support virtually any CNC systems using graphical
and intuitive post-processor editing utility. Information specified here is also used to populate
Language Wizard, which is convenient visual way of editing NC programs.
|
Use comprehensive program editor
AdvaNum NC Verification comes with a comprehensive CNC program editor, which offers you
many standard and specialized editing features. Along with many text editing and search functions
you can automatically add and remove block numbers, edit your programs in visual manner using
Language Wizard and optimize program cutting conditions (feed rate/spindle speed ratio)
with Cutting Wizard. Click here for more information about Program Editor features.
