Most control systems use either a conversational or a G-gode
programming format. ANILAM's 4000- and 5000-series CNC systems combine
both, easily and smoothly.
The program can be generated direct in G-code or it can be generated by
using ANILAM's conversational icon based help utility. There are icons
for lines, arcs, pockets, drilling cycles and more. Selecting an icon
activates the desired contour. The corresponding G-code is described in
machinist's language and the operator gets conversational prompts for
data input. As the data input is completed, the desired program step is
also completed in the program.
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.
