Kipwarem - conversational cnc software - milling

Living Outside The Box to be ... Simply Productive !!!
KipwareM® is a unique CNC software package designed for the everyday CNC programmer. KipwareM® combines a mixture of conversational programming, CAD and CAM to create efficient CNC programs that machine those everyday workpieces ... that comprise 85% of the machining done every day in the world. CNC programs created with KipwareM® not only contain no-prove-out needed toolpaths but also all the tips and tricks that are used everyday like canned cycles, cutter comp and much more.
* A unique programming software package that will turn rookie programmers into experts and experienced programmers into even more efficient programmers.
* Conversational programming for your everyday programming.
* Turn any CAD software into a CAM package with conversational programming.
* Convert DXF files to G Code programs using conversational programming.
Efficient CNC programming takes an arsenal of CNC software and tools.
KipwareM® Combines the Best of Both Worlds
* Conversational CNC Programming :
* For the every day tasks of CNC programming ... pocketting - drilling - milling ... do you really need a CAD/CAM system? The answer is ... of course not! So ... why are you using one. KipwareM® allows anyone to create efficient CNC programs for the everyday tasks in your machine shop ... all by answering the on-screen, fill-in-the-blank forms. Users can create pocketting programs, drilling programs including bolt circles and grids, simple contour milling programs and more. CAD/CAM programming takes experience, training and more important .... time. KipwareM® will allow you to create faster and more efficient CNC programs for those everyday tasks.
* For those more complex programs that don't fit into the standard "simple" category ... KipwareM® comes with our scaled-down CAD drawing package we call our SketchPad. Users can define any contour shape using the simpler drawing tools of point, line and arc ... then still use the conversational menus to create the roughing or finishing CNC programs to machine that contour. In addition, KipwareM® gives the users the ability to utilize their favorite drawing package to create ANY TOOLPATH ... then import it into KipwareM® using the DXF file utility. Using the KipwareM® feature called AutoPath, users only need define the start point of the contour ... and AutoPath arranges and re-arranged the elements of the drawing to create a toolpath. The beauty part of this feature is that the user can create ANY toolpath desired ... usually only having to use the CAD features of OFFSET and TRIM. This feature allows the user to turn any CAD package into a toolpath creating CAM package.
Designed on the Shop Floor to be Simple but Powerful
* Completely CONVERSATIONAL - create any CNC program by simply answering the plain English fill-in-the-blank forms.
* Fanuc Compatible : Designed specifically for Okuma, Fanuc, Fadal, Haas and all Fanuc compatible controls ... but with the unique KipwareXC® option you can create programs for any CNC control.
* Complete Programming Tool : Use it in conjunction or instead of your CAD-CAM system ... it's a complete CNC software package.
* KipwareM® creates no-prove-out needed programs - cuts your programming and set-up times.
* CAD Features : For those non-traditional shapes, KipwareM® includes our scaled-down CAD SketchPad - KipwareM® takes the best yet simplest features of a CAD program into it's part drawing SketchPad. In the SketchPad, users can draw the desired finish part shape / tool path using the scaled down CAD options of Point, Line or Arc. Then using the conversational ROUGHING or FINISHING options, create the CNC program to machine the toolpath including cutter compensation and plunge cutting.
* AutoPath turns any CAD package into a CAM package. Users can utilize our simple SketchPad drawing tool or import a drawing through our DXF file transfer utility ... Choose the starting point or element from the element list ... click AutoPath. KipwareM® automatically links the elements of the sketch together to create the toolpath.
* More powerful than FANUC, FADAL or HAAS Custom Macro programs - conversational makes it faster and easier - PC based makes it more flexible.
* Custom Cycle Creation : Create custom Peck Drilling and other Cycles that neither your CAD-CAM nor machine's control even have. Combination hole operations such as spot, drill, chamfer and tap for up to 30 holes can all be done in one easy conversational menu.
* CNC TEXT EDITOR : KipwareM® features a full Windows Text Editor to enable any program editing / altering within KipwareM®.
* ROTATION : Includes a conversational ROTATION feature that can take any KipwareM® toolpath and rotate it any number of times around a center of rotation. Great for those everyday operations like circle milling c'bores and so much more.
* Automatically Include Programming Tips and Tricks : KipwareM® uses all the powerful manual programmer tricks automatically - sub-programs, canned cycles, ramping in and out, helical cutting and more.
* SHOP CALCULATOR : Includes our Shop Calculator add-in ... Quickly and easily get the information you need, all within KipwareM® including INCH - METRIC conversion; RPM - SFM conversions; Drill Point calculations; Feedrate conversions; Tap Drill sizes; Screw dimension information; and the Shop Calculator now includes a SPEED and FEED DATABASE for undreds of materials with speeds and feeds for turning, milling and drilling.
