ShopTurn is an operating and programming software program for
turning machines that makes it easy for you to operate the machine
and to program workpieces.
These are some of the features the software provides:
Special measurement cycles make it easier to measure the tools and
the workpiece.
You can display the program execution in 3-D on the screen.
This makes it easy for you to check the result of programming and to
observe the progress of workpiece machining at the machine
(software option).
To execute a sequential control program, you must have reading and
writing rights.
The execution of sequential control programs is a software option.
Programming the workpiece with ShopTurn is effortless, since it is
graphically supported and doesn't require knowledge of G-code.
ShopTurn shows the program in a user-friendly work plan and
displays the individual cycles and contour elements in dynamic
graphics.
The powerful contour computer allows any contour to be input.
A stock removal cycle with residual material detection saves extra
machining processes.
ShopTurn saves your tool data. The software can also manage the
data of tools that are not in the revolver.
Programs can be created simply by copying and modifying similar
programs; there is no need to start again from the beginning.
You can switch from ShopTurn to the CNC-ISO operator interface.
There, you can also activate a remote diagnostic which allows the
machine to be operated via an external computer.
