Software Links Presetters To Machine Controls

Designed to maximize efficiency, the new Gamma Tool software passes presetter information to machine tool controls. This Windows-based software eliminates the manual input of data and does away with data entry errors, the company says. Integration into Lyndex/Elbo Controlli presetters is said to be easy.

Using a serial connection (cable included with Gamma software) between a PC and a presetter, an operator can acquire tool measurements and then organize them into tooling tables. Tables can then be translated into the desired CNC language (G-codes). After creating and measuring the tooling table, offset data can be directly sent to the CNC. Data storage is limitless.

An easy and powerful programming module (GUPP) allows for editing and the creation of post processor templates by the operator/programmer. GUPP makes customization of any postprocessor possible for adaptation into a CNC. More than 50 post-processor templates, all pre-tested, are included.
