DynaPath 2000 Series Punch Controls


DynaPath is a fully functional CNC control
that can handle a variety of offline generated 3D surfaces. When equipped
with high speed machining software; accurate, precise tool paths are
produced.
DynaPath can be equipped with complete part
and tool probing capabilities. Setup is simplified with graphical
representations and directions.
Conversational Graphics
make it easy to program the DynaPath control. Just identify the "Event Type"
from the graphic representation and the screen displays the information
needed to create the program.
In this example, "Bolt Circle" is the "Event
Type" selected and a detailed graphic of the dimensions needed to complete
the program are displayed. Simply fill in the blanks and the program is
ready.
The DynaPath control is always easy to get
around. You never get lost because all events can be commanded from this
home screen. Simple to learn, Simple to use.
DynaPath graphics are complete and powerful.
The program can be displayed in any of the four different four views.
Graphics can show either tool path or part surface, and the graphics run in
real time for complete analysis of the machining process.
