Hi everyone!
I need some advice regarding some CAM software which will permit me to import DXF files ( and / or DWG) and which will operative with an old Heidenhain TNC 155 control on a Bridgeport Interact 1 MKII mill....?
I currently use the Heidenhain conversational mode of programming and not the G code but as I understand, the TNC155 is also G code compatible.
I would really like to be able to speed the process up a little as a lot of the work I'm getting now is small batch size and therefore the programming time(especially when stock removal and multi rad arcs are involved) contributes to a large proportion of the total job time.
In actual fact, even a means of off-machine programming would be great so as I can prog. the next item whilst the mill is still running with the current item.
Any advice would be very gratefully received
Duncs.
