About Active Editor Pro
Renishaw probing routines provide tool setting, tool breakage detection, part set-up and part inspection, all of which are vital to maintain manufacturing process control.
Existing machine programs can be read and probing added, removing the need for on-machine editing.
Features can be selected directly from the imported CAD model, making the generation of probing cycles even easier.
Simulation provides graphical identification of work piece and fixture collision with the probe. As a result, confidence in probing is improved, resulting in faster prove-out times.
Features
Easy-to-use PC software for generating probing routines integrated with NC cutting code- Full integration of tool setting, probe qualification and job setup
- Graphical screens and interactive dialogues, with on-line help for all features
- Logic builder allows 'lights-out' operation of your machine tool, making decisions based on the data it collects
- Import of STEP, IGES and Parasolid® CAD models. Other file formats are supported but require the purchase of additional CAD importer software. See Productivity+™ Active Editor Pro probing software for machine tools data sheet for a listing of currently available CAD importers. (Parasolid® is a registered trademark of UGS Corp.)
- Programming directly from solid model
- Full simulation of probe paths including crash detection
- New Session wizard
- Solid model tools - for alignment of multiple parts
- Datum picking from CAD features
