Networking and Synchronization with the CNC Machine Tool
hyperMILL® CONNECTED Machining
hyperMILL® CONNECTED Machining ensures seamless networking between the CAD/CAM software and machine. One of the highlights is the bidirectional exchange of data with the controller, which means that data can be sent to the machine and also received from the machine.
These days, if you deal with the issue of Industry 4.0, you cannot ignore the need to achieve the best possible networking of CAM software and the CNC machine tool. hyperMILL® CONNECTED Machining provides for bidirectional exchange of data with the machine controller that guarantees a degree of continuity between the CAM system and machine that you won't find elsewhere. The hyperMILL® VIRTUAL Machining Center serves as the central component, allowing process-relevant data to be transferred directly and securely from the CAD/CAM system to the machine as well as received from it.
hyperMILL® CONNECTED Machining acts as the interface between the hyperMILL® VIRTUAL Machining Center simulation solution and the machine tool. This makes it possible, for example, to send tool lists and NC programs directly from the simulation environment to the machine, sync the status of the simulation while the machine is running, or even control the machine using a PC.
Functions for enhanced safety on your machines
Making mistakes is human and therefore a safety mechanism that effectively protects you from possible operating errors is extremely important. Machine parameters such as zero points, tool data and control settings are read from the machine and compared with the NC program. This means you can be sure that the NC program and machine are in perfect synchronicity. In addition to the safety mechanisms, hyperMILL® CONNECTED Machining also offers practical functions that simplify the operation of your machines.
