Convert NC programs from one format to another

Edited by the Manufacturingtalk editorial team Apr 5, 2006

Company had to convert over 400 Heidenhain programs to Fanuc format, which would have taken 1h/program, whereas NC code conversion software would only take seconds/program.

NC Code Conversion from Forelink Engineering Software is the easy way to convert NC programs from one format to another.

Never worry about what control is on the machine you want to buy because the conversion code will convert it to the format, individually suited to your requirements.

Have the same program for different machine formats, save money when sub contracting by sending the program with the job in the sub contractors machine format.

One customer had to convert over 400 Heidenhain programs to Fanuc format and worked out it that allowing 1h/program (which is on the optomistic side) it would take them 10 weeks and considerable cost whereby the software would take seconds/program and pay for itself within a week.

Forelink can supply a one off single conversion unit or our advanced NC code conversion software which is post processor driven so you can achieve the output exactly as you require for as many different conversions as you require.

We have even converted laser profiling code to DXF format.

Some of our existing conversion software is listed below.

* Fanuc to Anilam.

* Heidenhain to Anilam.

* Heidenhain to Fanuc.

* Conversational Fanuc to ISO.

* NC Code to DXF.

* Macro to Fanuc.

* Fanuc to Siemens.

* Siemens to Fanuc.

Buy the machine tool you want, and let our software convert and output your existing programs you want from other machines At Forelink we have built on our achievements in the manufacturing sector with all of our software systems being developed for engineers by engineers, it has been expanded over a period of years by specific needs of our customers.

Most of the software is standard however we pride ourselves in adapting and modifying it so that the end result is a software system that is in truth, proven, but designed to fit your needs and is easy to use.
