If you have a Renishaw or some other make of probe and want to do surface scans for pattern or copy work you will need Fast Cam. My copy came with the instruction manual and floppies from Milltronics. The manual walks you thru the x-y step and peck distance and the z-max and min scan depths. It is real cool to watch when it is pecking at the part being scanned. The data file output is in x,y,z so any Cad Cam can back plot it from an ascii file or TXT file. If you want more info give Milltronics a call 952-442-1401.
Hope this helps. |
