New Release : Expanded Cutting Database for KipwareCYC® - Machining Cycletime Estimating Software

Kentech Inc. is pleased to announce the release of Version 6 of our KipwareCYC® - Machining Cycletime Estimating Software.

We completed a major overhaul and upgrade of KipwareCYC® in 2012-2013 that created a source code base and foundation designed and built for the future. Now we have the ability to concentrate on new features and innovation to build on that strong foundation.

We are pleased to be able to address some of our users requests beginning with the expansion of our Cutting Parameter Database module. Users now have DOUBLE the capacity to add user defined sub-categories and cutting parameters for each individual machining operation. 

For example : The number of sub-categories under Rough Milling for example has been expanded from (5) to (10) ... allowing for greater flexibility, speed and accuracy in the cycletime estimating module. This new expansion combined with the already UNLIMITED database capacity of the Cutting Parameter Database gives KipwareCYC® a new and more powerful layer of accuracy and flexibility. Each main machining operation now can have up to (10) sub categories. The (2) user defined machining operation also now have this expanded sub-category capability.

Previous versions allowed for (5) Sub-Categories under each Main Category.

This feature has been expanded to (10) in Version 6.

Version 6 is now shipping with this expanded database feature standard.

Version 5 users also have the ability to import their current ... older style databases ... into Version 6 with just a click of a single button ... making for a quick and easy UPGRADE.

New Release - New KipwareCYC® Cut Length Calculator Features

On the heels of the release of the CLC SketchPad for KipwareCYC® machining cycletime estimating software  ( http://kentechinc.blogspot.com/2013/09/new-release-clc-sketchpad-for.html ) ... we have added another new feature to the Cut Length Calculator as well.

Version 10.1.0 gives user the ability to SAVE and RECALL operations calculated using the CLC conversational / fill-in-the-blank forms. This new feature will allow for faster length of cut calculations as user will be able to save commonly used operations ( e.g. - Peck Drilling in 303 Stainless ) ... then  recall them ... make any subtle changes to the data ... and rec-calculate the length of cut without having to re-enter all the information onto the form.

We have also posted a new video to our YouTube channel ( KTSoftware ) that demonstrates the creation of a sample cycletime estimate using all the latest features within KipwareCYC®.

As always ... many thanks to our Kipware® users for your feedback and support.
