F5 – CAM
Choose F5-CAM to program parts. The default part programming system is Intercon. Intercon is a
conversational programming system that allows you to quickly and easily create a part program. Intercon
features many easy to use canned cycles for most common machining operations such as: rectangular,
circular and irregular pockets, pockets with islands, bolt hole circles, frames, thread milling operations and
much more. When you are finished programming your part in Intercon, exit to return to the M-Series
Control Main Screen and the posted Intercon program will be automatically loaded and ready to run. For
more information on Intercon, see chapter 10.
