Tools used during courses

Workshop equipment and additional equipment:

measuring instruments: calipers, micrometers, height gauges, rulers, gauge blocks..
demonstration tools:milling cutters, drills, taps, lathe tools with cutting inserts, folding tools, special tools, milling heads

Software

During the course, each participant has at their disposal INDIVIDUAL WORKSTATIONS with a touch LCD monitor, and specialized software that simulates the work with real drivers:

Siemens SINUTRAIN Operate - actual operator panel SINUMERIK 828D / 840D
FANUC NC GUIDE - actual operator panel FANUC
HEIDENHAIN simulator
MACH3 Simulator
NX CAM - aided machining

Siemens SinuTrain Operate

SinuTrain Operate 4.5 SP2 is not only a training program, but also allows for programming CNC control SINUMERIK offline, due to the fact that it is based on the same system SINUMERIK Operate. It is therefore an ideal tool for the operator, technologist and setter of the CNC machine.

Mach3

Mach3 is one of the most popular programs enabling control of the CNC machines featuring up to 6 axes. It makes it possible for the regular computer to become controller for any CNC machine. Manual control is based on G-codes, the program also enables continuous preview of tools and machining parameters.

NX CAM - aided machining

Software offers a wide variety of functions, from simple NC programming to high performance and multiaxis machining, allowing realization of many tasks using just one system. NX software is applied in many branches of industry successfully fulfilling its role in aviation, automotive industry, medical equipment, foundry industry and machinery. NX CAM software is fitted with closely integrated post processing system that enables easy generation of the right NC code for nearly all types of machines and controller configuration. Many levels of checking accuracy of the NC program include simulation based on G-code, which eliminates the necessity of using separate simulation systems.
