Milling Postprocessor Supports Sinumerik 808D Control
CNC Software, producer of Mastercam CAD/CAM software, has released a postprocessor for three-axis and four-axis milling machines designed with help from Siemens CNC engineers, that provides support for Siemens’ Sinumerik 808D CNCs.
CNC Software’s three- and four-axis milling postprocessor, developed in collaboration with Siemens CNC engineers, is said to promote higher productivity for Sinumerik-controlled machine tools. The postprocessor provides three- and four-axis support for Mastercam 2019 CAD/CAM software, produced by CNC Software, and Sinumerik 808D CNCs from Siemens.
The postprocessor includes:
- Cycle 832 support for high speed settings
- Work offset support matching control capabilities
- 808D optimized drilling cycles (Cycle 82, 83, 84, 85, 86, 840), with full four-axis support
- Numerical tool call with offset D#
- TOFFR functionality to support cutter compensation wear strategy
- Optimized multi-axis tool path using the FGROUP and FGREF commands
