New KipwareXC® - G Code Conversion Software Features Released

Version 14.0.0 of Kentech's KipwareXC® - G Code Conversion Software has been released with more new and innovative features for converting G code programs from one format to another.

Version 14.0.0 contains new and powerful INSERTION functions allowing users to designate a TRIGGER CODE and either a SINGLE LINE of information or complete TEXT FILES that can be inserted prior to or after the trigger code is detected during the conversion process.

A SINGLE LINE scenario example might be :

(1) Original G code can send the Z axis to the tool change position automatically when an M6 is read ... whereas the desired format requires a physical command line to return the Z axis prior to the tool change. Using the SINGLE LINE KipwareXC® insertion command :

• Trigger Code = M6
• Insertion format set to BEFORE the trigger code line
• LINE for insertion = G00G191G28Z0

 

A COMPLETE FILE insertion works similar where the user can specify a TRIGGER CODE and the filename for insertion along with a setting BEFORE or AFTER formats. Some common scenarios where this feature can be employed :

• Multiple lines are required to specify a "return to tool change" sequence.
• Automatically inserting the actual contents of a SUB PROGRAM instead of the simple sub-program call.
• Program or individual tool "start up blocks" that are not contained in the original code.
• .... many more.

(3) separate options are available for both SINGLE LINE and COMPLETE FILE options ... adding more flexibility and power to these new features.
