New UPGRADES for KipwareM® and KipwareT® were released at the beginning of February ... the cost for each is $95. Detailed upgrade information and ordering can be accessed using the UPGRADES link at the main site ... www.KentechInc.com ... but here are a few items that have changed.
In both KipwareM® and KipwareT®, we have added a whole range of new 3D graphics to the menu screens for better understanding of the meanings of the input fields.
In KipwareM®, we added some new features for both the RADIAL and LINEAR SLOTTING menus that now allow for the ramping down of the cutter as the slot is being machined, with (1) additional final pass at final depth at the end.
In KipwareT®, we added new conversational screens that gives users the ability to cut ANGLES and RADII from a fill-in-the-blank menu. The code that is output is in long hand G code ... not a canned cycle ... that makes this more compatible with the less-intense hobby type CNC controls that do not have canned cycle capabilities. Of course, the shape can still be drawn in the SketchPad to obtain the canned cycle output if desired.
Coming Soon ...
A new version of the Kipware® Trainer Videos . We are upgrading the slide shows used in the our Kipware® Trainer using Camtasia software to give us a more rich and powerful media to create training videos for all the Kipware® software. Soon we will have complete videos that show how to program a variety of workpieces from the simple to the complex in KipwareM® and KipwareT®. These videos will contain complete screen capture along with voice overlay with detailed explanations of the processes being shown.
Stay tuned to the BLOG for more details.
As always,
Thanks for stopping by and for your software interest.
