CutViewer Mill V3.2 is an easy to use program that simulates 2 and 2 axes CNC Machines
removing material from stock in true Solid Modelling. CutViewer will increase your
productivity,eliminate programming errors, and prevent machine down time. Easy to use
functions allow better understanding of CAM processes. Detects collision of the tool with stock
while in Rapid. Estimates machining time. Currently used in more than 25 countries all over the
world.
CutViewer is a 32 bit application that works on Windows 2000 or higher version of Windows.
Minimum hardware Requirements: Pentium or AMD processor with minimum 32 MB of RAM
Video Graphics card with minimum memory of 4 MB
10 MB of available Hard disk space
Features:CutViewer can open and display Standard ISO G-code files. We can also provide upon request, a
special .dll file that enables it to read any control. CutViewer provides easy real-time manual
editing and verification of the program file, viewing the process from different viewpoints of the
part, measuring the finished part, collision detection, and many other features.
The post reader can be user customized for your specific CNC hardware.
The raw stock can be defined as either a squared block or a cylinder. Stock and tool data can be
included in your CNC program, or defined separately prior to running the program.
This version supports the following types of tools:
Ball End Mill
Bull End Mill
Flat End Mill
Tapered Mills
Chamfer Tools
Drills
Center Drills
The ball mill tool can be used with control points on either the ball surface or on the ball center.
Supported File FormatSupported
ISO G-Code Files
Fanuc 0T files
Fanuc 10TA f11TA Files
OKUMA Files
TRAUB File
SIEMENS 840D
1. Open File
This is for opening NC file from a folder or across network. But make sure you select the
appropriate filter in the Files of type combo-box to tell CutViewer which configuration to use
to interpret the g-code.
2. Reset
Resets the simulation showing the initial Stock at the start position.
3. Run
CutViewer supports forward and backward step-by-step modes, displaying of the current tool
position, tool parameters and spindle speeds and allow easy isolate an area of concern. One can
set up break points, reach a problem area, switch to a line by line mode, observe the cuts line by
line,stop at a particular point, open the edit window and edit the line, without requiring any line
numbers or other identifiers.
5. Pause
Suspends execution. While processing is paused, you may apply zooming, measure the part as
well change the Setup parameters and EDIT the code. The Run button will restart simulation
from the paused position with provision for new parameters. You can also edit the file, but you
have to select the Run-Rebuild menu item or press Ctrl-F9 in order to implement the changes.
6. Stop
Stops execution of the simulation. Unlike Pause, you cannot restart from the current position
after pressing Stop. Pressing Run following Stop will start the simulation from the
beginning of the file. Also press Run following Stop if you want to restart process after
finish of the simulation. The simulation will be started keeping the latest scale for each graphic
window. If you want to start with the initial scale press the Reset button.
7. View buttons
Press the appropriate button to set the desired view for the graphic window that has a focus (this
window is identified by blue border).
8. Parallel to Axis sectioning
Allows you to cut away a portion of the part through any vertical plane defined by two points.
10. Unsectioning
Allows for the zooming by a window or region selection method. To use this function, click the
button and while holding down the left mouse button select the desired window and then release
the mouse button.
12. Zoom In
Press this button and then press the left mouse button at the desired point to Zoom in on a part.
Press the right mouse button to leave Zoom In mode.
Press this button and then press the left mouse button to Zoom out on a part. Press the right
mouse button to leave Zoom Out mode.
14. Zoom Restore
Moves the part within the window. Press the button, and then hold the left mouse button down
while moving the mouse. When the view is in the desired position release the mouse button.
Press the right mouse button to leave Pan mode.
16. Rotate
Rotates the view. This mode is available for ISO view only. Press the button, then hold the left
mouse button down while moving the mouse. When the view is in the desired position release
the mouse button. Press the right mouse button to leave Rotate mode.
17. Measurements
Launches a dialog where you can configure how CutViewer works. If you press the save button
to exit rather than the OK button your settings will be the default the next time you launch
CutViewer.
The first three variables are the stock size, given in positive numbers representing the actual
measurements of the material. The stock reference point (origin) is the lower left corner in the
isometric view (the point with the minimal X,Y,Z coordinates) . The Stock origin also can be
identified by the intersection of the yellow, blue and red axes when the rotate (view) button is
pushed. The last three numbers indicate the x,y,z position of the program origin relative to the
stock origin. This definition provides more control than assigning z=0 at the top surface of the
block, it also requires more attention.
For example:1.If the stock has a length of 100 mm, a width of 70 mm, a height of 30 mm and the program
origin is at center of the top face:
(STOCK/BLOCK,100,70,30,50,35,30)
2.Similarly,stock with a program origin at the origin of the top surface is written as:
(STOCK/BLOCK,6,4,1,0,0,1)
D1 is Outer Diameter
D2 is Inner Diameter
The inner diamter D2 may be 0. Diameters and Height represent the actual measurements of the
cylinder. The stock reference point (origin) is the center of the cylinder bottom.
For example
1.If the cylinder has a diameter of 100 mm, a height of 30mm and the program origin is at center
of the bottom face:
(STOCK/CYLINDER,100,0,30,0,0,0)
If you start the program with the wrong Stock parameters you can re-deine the stock selecting the
Redefine a Stock menu item from the Edit window popup menu or simply pressing Alt+S and
the Stock definition dialog will appear.
B. Types Of Tools
1. TOOL/MILL, Diameter, Corner radius, Height, Taper Angle
Tool/Mill: the Corner Radius will indicate the type of mill used where 'r' is the corner radius
specified and 'D' is the tool Diameter:
or
TOOL/CHAMFER, Diameter, Point Angle, Height, Chamfer Length
Programming in Cut viewer Mill in G-M code that uses these Subroutines
(G-code) programs gives the user great power and flexibility in creating and running programs
that describe path motion and its associated I/O.This is important not just for classic CNC
machine tool applications, but for any application that uses CAD/CAM software for the
automatic generation of these programs.
