Milling Assistant

The EUKLID Milling Assistant (MAS) offers an independent, highly comfortable machining environment, controlling complete NC machining from the slug to the creation of NC data.

The Milling Assistant clearly separates the machining steps defined from their calculation. The user defines all machining steps in neatly arranged forms and then starts the calculation. The calculation may be repeated as often you like. The Milling Assistant’s forms allow the modification of all parameters. The following recalculation will recognize and recalculate only the steps influenced by the entered modifications. This enables you to easily create company-specific variants of Milling Assistant projects.

The EUKLID Milling Assistant makes it extremely easy to calculate family parts. In the Milling Assistant, just change the geometry file and EUKLID CAD/CAM will automatically calculate new milling paths, according to the parameters set in the Master Milling Assistant.

Repeated, identical sections of a NC program are calculated only once and then transformed in less than a second: moved to another place, mirrored, rotated or duplicated.

The EUKLID Milling Assistant offers all possible transformations:

• duplicate
• move
• rotate
• mirror

EUKLID CAD/CAM’s milling documentation offers detailed information about the machining sequences, including every step, in convenient HTML-format.

The EUKLID Milling Assistant reads all necessary data from the given NC programs. The following graphs and tables are shown:

• Administrative data (project name, user, client...)
• Table of contents
• NC data (program number, start point ...)
• List of tools used (milling length, time of use for each tool)
• Workpiece geometry, slug
• Every individual working step (roughing, semi-finishing, finishing)
