DynaPath 2000 Series Turning Controls
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
DynaPath's lathe control puts a wide
variety of types of threading "Canned Cycles" at your disposal. This
makes it very easy to select the thread type needed and speed the time
to program.
While DynaPath controls have great
conversational programming capabilities, they can be programmed
in EIA "G-Code" at the machine or use a program generated offline.
Lathe operation requires detailed tool tables
for tool length, nose radius and orientation. DynaPath tables
are complete and can be updated manually or from a network PC.
