Machine Routes

During the installation, Praxis imports CAM machines from Flux and MetaCAM and builds a routing table with possible workflow routes between them. A route is a connection between the two processing stations in the routing view. In this view, machines are displayed as processing stations. Each station is drawn with a picture and name. The stations are connected with routes indicating a feasible workflow path that a part can take from start to finish. The station’s availability can be edited by clicking on it and toggling the enabled checkbox in the settings inspector dialogue. The inspector can also be used to edit tooling and nesting constraints and settings.

Setting Program Numbers

NC program ranges are supported for machines. Specify the program and sub-program ranges in min:max format. When NC is generated, the program number starts from the minimum range value. The program counter increments for subsequent NC programs and resets to the minimum value after it reaches the maximum value.
