CUBE CONTROL + 4C SOFTWARE

OUR PC BASED CNC CONTROL SYSTEM WITH INTEGRATED
CAD/CAM SOFTWARE AND CMM REVERSE ENGINEERING.
PROGRAM YOUR CNC AT THE MACHINE WITH FULL CAD/CAM ABILITY ON THE SHOP FLOOR.


INTEGRATE CAD/CAM/CMM & CNC (4C)

 * IMPORT 3D MODELS IN STEP FORMAT
 * CREATE CAD 2D DRAWINGS & 3D MODELS
 * CREATE TOOLPATHS PARAMETRICALLY FROM CAD DATA
 * RUN MACHINE RIGHT FROM 4C WITHOUT POST PROCESS REQUIREMENT


BETTER INTERACTIVITY WITH THE MACHINE

PROBING ABILITY CAN BE USED TO HELP PRODUCE CAD DRAWINGS FOR REVERSE ENGINEERING




INTERNET ABILITY

 * ONLINE SERVICE/SUPPORT & UPDATES
 * INDUSTRY STANDARD LOGMEIN REMOTE ACCESS SOFTWARE TO OPERATE MACHINE REMOTELY
   IS PREINSTALLED ON ALL MACHINES
 * MONITOR MACHINE REMOTELY WITH CELL PHONE APP
 * CLOUD PROGRAM STORAGE
 * FAST ACCESS TO ALL WEB PAGES FOR HELP WITH MACHINIST TYPE QUESTIONS (IE:
   THREAD PITCH OF A TAP, FEEDS/SPEEDS)

SINGLE PROCESSOR ALLOWS COST EFFECTIVE, HIGH PERFORMANCE



 * Because of a single powerful processor, DM control is low cost and high
   performance
 * Most other controls use separate processors in many places which increases
   cost and is more complicated to configure
 * Close servo loops at 20khz for best possible motor control
 * Acceleration and Jerk based motion profiles


COMPACT DRIVE DESIGN

 * Single heatsink for all drives
 * Each drive is contained in its own enclosure and mounted to the main heat
   sink.
 * This modular approach allows easier service and shipping of components
   without heavy heat sinks
 * Operate auxiliary motors (coolant, auger, ATC) with DM drives for faster,
   more precise operation with fault detection


CONFORM TO INDUSTRY STANDARDS

 * IMPORT GCODES AND ORGANIZE SEPARATE GCODE FILES INTO INDIVIDUAL OPERATIONS
   * QUICKLY ENABLE/DISABLE INDIVIDUAL GCODE FILES
   * SUBPROGRAM
 * BI-DIRECTIONAL LASER CALIBRATION WITH AUTO-IMPORT OF RENISHAW LASER
   CALIBRATION FILES TO ELIMINATE MANUAL IMPORTING OF CALIBRATION DATA
 * BACKLASH COMPENSATION WITH ACCELERATION AND DECELERATION PARAMETERS




4C SOFTWARE ABILITY AND FEATURES

PATENT NO.: US011561528


CONSTANT TOOL ENGAGEMENT (CTE) POCKETING.

CTE ELIMINATES CHATTER IN CORNERS BY REMOVING A CONSTANT VOLUME OF MATERIAL IN A
GIVEN TIME.


ADVANCED SURFACE FINISHING ON 3D MODELS.




EXCELLENT ENGRAVING ABILITY USING "ETCH" TOOLPATH

ETCH ON A 5 AXIS PLANE

ETCH WITH TOOL COMPENSATION


MORE 4C SOFTWARE FEATURES

 * Reverse engineer using touch probe
 * Corner rounding and chamfer toolpaths
 * Grid, Linear and Circular repeating patterns
 * Rigid tapping with peck ability
 * Pinstop - select and edge of a model and the machine will move to the
   location offset by the pin diameter so the part can be set into a vise
   constantly
 * Table rotation


VALUE TO END USER CUSTOMERS

 * Since 4C is integrated, it is easier than the industry standard approach,
   which means a larger audience/market of users.
 * Can make changes to a toolpath and cut instantly instead of post processing
   GCode then re-imported into the control
 * Lower power usage with timeout sleep function
 * VFD control for ATC motors, auger, coolant
   * ATC is faster (if servo ATC is used, no homing is required)
   * Auger can detect a stall and reverse to clear blockage
   * Coolant motor can change speeds to vary the coolant pressure (preset
     settings can be setup and used)
   * Coolant configs can be programmed and change solenoids for water flow
     valves to use different coolant nozzels, washdown system & manually
     cleaning hose
 * Advanced 5 axis
   * Tool center point control
   * Dynamic fixture offsets
   * Tilted work plane
   * NURBs Smoothing for interpolating HSM GCodes
   * Cylindrical interpolation
 * Video record with Gopro camera when autocycle starts. End when autocycle
   stops
 * Camera can take pictures of each tool as it is installed into carousel to
   easily see all tools currently installed in the ATC (and in the future,
   detect broken tool)
