Kentech Inc. has been contracted by ZPS-CNC USA to develop a new version of our Kipware® CNC XChange G-code conversion software. ZPS-CNC USA (http://www.zpsusa.com ) is a wholly owned subsidiary of TAJMAC-ZPS, a fully integrated and developed multinational machine tool company. Within the Czech Republic, TAJMAC-ZPS has a long lasting tradition of machine tool design, prototyping, production and maintenance. TAJMAC-ZPS manufactures machining centers, CNC lathes and multi-spindle automatic lathes. They are one of the major Czech exporters and rank high among the world’s top machine tool manufacturers.
Development of this new version has already begun with a scheduled BETA release scheduled for mid-March 2011. This new milling version of Kipware® CNC XChange will auto convert Dynapath Model 20 conversational G-code programs to Heidenhain TNC530 conversational code. We anticipate future development of additional versions of Kipware® CNC XChange to allow conversion of additional G-code programs to Heidenhain code. You can follow our progress on this blog and at our website www.KentechInc.com.
