Programming the CNC Drill Line is simple, even when done manually. Peddimat is the machine programming program and most operators can learn to program most parts in less that an hour. Of course practice makes perfect. But, the best way is to program the machine directly from a 3D CAD drawing. This should be done in software such as StruMis, ProSteel 3D and SDS/2. These files can be imported directly to the machine. After selecting the part to process, the operator clicks on the Cycle Start Button.
Z-Reader Probe- This probe maps the surface's location. It can be operated manually and programmatically. The option is removed from danger and is not active while the cutting process is underway. It can be used for surface mapping or to verify surface at each point before the cutting process begins. It is responsible for initialization, or zeroing the device on the surface at beginning of a program. From there it tracks the difference or accumulates them.
