CrashGuard Studio – application software that is sustainably maintained
By optimising the machining process and ensuring faults are corrected early, users can expect a significant reduction in the risk of collisions and rejects, while also minimising unproductive downtimes. This unlocks new potential and offers clear competitive advantages.
CrashGuard Studio is being continuously developed. The customers themselves have an important role to play here, as their feedback enables the programmers to optimise and further develop the software. Our customers' experiences, ideas and suggestions are sometimes the key that allows us to continuously improve the software and match it precisely to their needs. Product feedback can be sent as long as a valid maintenance service contract is in place. If problems arise, users will receive rapid assistance. As well as updates based on customer feedback, the software is also adapted to new technological conditions in order to keep pace with technical developments.
What are the latest functions?
- New GUI framework
The new GUI Framework provides improvements when working with high-definition 4K monitors. The new window manager now allows you to split the user interface across several screens.
- Base data files directory in the project folder
Project-related data, such as drawings, can be saved in the new data files directory. You can then double-click on data files to open them directly in the default program set under Windows.
- Function to open tools directly in the tool magazine
- Support for additional zero-point adjustments (G505-G599)
The extra G505-G599 zero-point adjustments (available as an option) can now be edited and simulated in CrashGuard Studio.
- New tool holder category
The new "Adapter tool" tool holder category has been introduced to support tool adapters with automatic cutting head change.
- ROUNDUP - NC function for rounding up
The "ROUNDUP" function can be used to round up input values of the type REAL (fractions with a decimal point) to the nearest whole number.
- Variable for evaluating the dry run feed
The variable $P_DRYRUN returns the Boolean state TRUE if the dry run feed is activated during the simulation.
New functions for Millturn PRO
- Support for grinding cycles
The new input screens for the grinding cycle package facilitate programming in Millturn PRO.
- Improved DOI definition for contour turning
The "Domain of Interest" parameters can now be assigned outside the Contour editor.
- DRILLING Operation
New parameters for programming the automatic drill breakage monitoring have been added.
The software is very popular. CrashGuard Studio and Millturn PRO have gained a broad user base since their introduction 15 years ago. WFL has delivered over 500 virtual machine models to end users worldwide, which are used as digital twins for programming and simulating the real machines.
