Construction View machining greatly simplifies the task of machining on multiple faces of a part. Whether programming multiple setups on a 3-axis machine, or utilizing multi-axis machines for 3+2 milling, SURFCAM CAD/CAM automatically sets the tool-axis orientation.
"We deal with such tiny parts that if the machining is off by 0.0002", it can totally change the look of the part" ... Tolerances on the device's actual blades "are almost down to nothing."
- Matt Hefner from CTE article

Triad is best described as a middle ware. This software acts as a conduit that allows marking machines, vision equipment and existing data management to join in a common piece of software that manages all of the communications and auditing of the requested actions. The main artery of Triad is a security program that allows multiple levels of users to access the appropriate programs based off of their skill sets, training, or management function. This security program has auditing capability both internally and remotely. The core program can relay or link information to existing databases, for example for serial number control.
Within Triad is a series of programs that can be used as a tool box to solve a large array of modern marking programs. Each device that works with Triad is called a plug in. These plug in's can be made by Monode or by the company that owns the technology via a development kit - this flexibility allows rapid growth of compatibility within the Triad community. The key advantage of Triad being a manager of multiple programs through a centralized system is any major changes to the functionality of the core parent programs have immediately benefits to the devices that are compatible to the system. The power and complex functionality of Triad has a simple look to the end user called Gray Screen. |

Benefit Highlights
Efficient Post-Processor and Machine Model Development
The machine tool and controller data for both Virtual Machine and CAM-POST are stored and managed in the same database. This eliminates the error-prone and time-consuming alternative of entering the same data twice when using a non-integrated solution.
Cost-Effective NC Tape Proofing
Virtual Machine detects and corrects collisions between machine components, in real-time, during post-processing. As a result, Virtual Machine reduces scrap materials and minimizes tool replacements while increasing machine utilization and improving part quality.
Leverage Existing Technology
Virtual Machine works with existing NC post-processors generated by NC manufacturing experts utilizing CAM-POST. Subsequently, existing post-processors can be tested for errors and updated automatically within a single user interface.
Shortened Learning Curve for CAM-POST Users
Virtual Machine is integrated within the CAM-POST user interface; thereby, eliminating the need to learn two different products or applications. In addition, there is no need to learn a new CAD system, simply import the machine model geometry from any current CAD solution.
Machine Tool Motion Inspection
Virtual Machine may be synchronized with CAM-POST's interface at any collision or over-travel error; thereby, allowing the NC programmer to graphically examine the part program and tape output precisely where the problem occurred. With this powerful tool, errors that could have damaged the part, tool and fixture can be eliminated. |
