HxGN NC Server 2021.2

Machine Definition

  • NC Server now has a cleaner Machine Definition dialog box so it shows only the information relevant to the selected controller type.

  • NC Server now hides settings that are not typically required unless you select Show advanced machine settings in the Settings dialog box.

  • NC Server now includes pivot length in the wrist definition.

  • Axis definitions now include separate axis names and axis types to allow for machines with naming variants in the macros.

  • NC Server now specifies rotary axis parameters, such as center point and vector, in the Axis tab of the Setup dialog box.

  • NC Server now sends the rotary table parameters to PC-DMIS so that you no longer need to configure them separately inside PC-DMIS.

  • NC Server now defines all parameters for macro generation in the machine definition. You should never manually edit macros.

  • Macro generation is now consistent across all machine types.

  • NC Server now warns you when macros should be regenerated when it detects that changes were made to relevant settings in the machine definition.

  • NC Server now supports nutating tables and heads in the machine definition.

  • NC Server now provides a tool to create the necessary "USRPROBE.DAT" code for machines with single or dual-axis rotary heads.

  • NC Server has replaced axis map information with address offset information so it is consistent with other products.

  • NC Server now supports generic rotary table generation for machine simulation.
