Kentech Inc - Real World Machine Shop Software

What all the toolpath animations software vendors don't explain amidst all their hype ... is what a pain it is to define the stock, define all the cutting tools, define the machine features, define even the workholding. What about if you know what the program is supposed to do and all you want to see is the toolpath plotted?

KipwareTP� is a simple toolpath plotting software package that will enable users to quickly, accurately and efficiently view the toolpath of CNC milling and turning CNC programs. But simple does not mean lean ... KipwareTP� has the following standard features :

Plot either Mill (X-Y) or Lathe (radius X or diameter X) CNC programs.
Different linetype and line color settings for rapid, feed and circular cutting.
Sub-Program plotting with the user having the ability to match program calls with actual PC filenames. Users can also set KipwareTP� to plot or ignore the sub-program calls.
Single block plotting
Optional Stop plot stopping at every M01 command. Options such as toolpath linetype, color and plotting tool size can be changed at these program stops for clearer and more distinctive plotting.
Block Delete feature just like on the machine's control.
User can choose between slow (using a user configuarable timer) or high speed plotting.
Zoom feature.
Ability to import KipwareM� and KipwareT� SketchPad Sketches as "stock" material.
Ability to draw square/rectangular or round "stock".

Although KipwareTP� was designed and created to work along with our KipwareM� and KipwareT� software, it can be used with any "fanuc compatible" CNC program.

KipwareTP� was designed and created like all our machine shop software - from the shop floor up. Using our unique mix of metalcutting, CNC, machine shop and computer programming experience we developed a fast, efficient and accurate utility for shops to test their CNC programs before they hit the shop floor - saving time and money.
