10. The program nccad 7.5
The program nccad 7.5
generates the control
program from the work
piece geometry data, co-
ordinates
communications with the
interface control
computer/CNC control,
the CNC axes, the
generation of the step
pulses, etc. etc.
The control "translates"
the signals into
commands for the
stepping motors.
The options the program
offers are manifold; the
scope is rather large.
Therefore, one should
consider that it takes some time until one has a complete overview of all the possibilities
of the program and can confidently move between the many functions.
Much practice, and naturally some patience is helpful to be able to use the software
thoroughly.
For the beginning it is helpful to know what the program can even do and that it owes its
capability in principle to several "Individual" functions.
On the one hand, it is utilised to create a part in electronically drawn form (CAD), and on
the other hand it then generates the control commands from that geometry for the
control (CAM) which it then processes as electric signals for the motors of the spindle
drives.
10.3. The integrated manual with
the help system
We deliberately refrained from using a
printed form of the manual and, as
already mentioned above, have
consolidated the necessary contents in a
help function within the program itself. A
much more practical and neat possibility
than having to handle a mountain of
paper: The structure of the topics has
