Integrated CAM

ANILAM's 5000-series CNC systems can be programmed direct in G-code or with the integrated conversational help utility, i.e.  ANILAM's conversational G-code.

As an additional programming tool, the 5000-series controls have integrated CAM programming. The CAM utility is based on ANILAM's powerful shape  editor.

The CAM utility allows creation of the tool path  direct from the shape without trigonometry calculations and without G-code  programming. The operator simply uses the shape to generate moves and inputs  speeds and feeds, determines offsets and stepovers and selects contouring,  drilling or pocketing when prompted. The program is generated automatically  within the CAM utility.

The program is finally verified in ANILAM's  user-friendly draw graphics mode, simultaneously drawing the part, displaying the program and showing the CNC status.
