Third-Party Software Partners
A number of third-party companies have developed and/or adapted software packages to work with the MACHINEMATE CNC control.
Among them:
e-Manufacturing Networks Inc Spectrum CNC Technologies, Inc.
The e-Manufacturing’s Spectrum CNC Technologies Division adapted their Multi-DNC Software to work with the MachineMate control. This software allows control data to be monitored and to be stored in an SQL database. Proprietary CNCs require a separate simple PLC to monitor I/O but the MachineMate with its integrated soft PLC requires no additional hardware for the I/O monitoring.
Manufacturing Science Technologies
Manufacturing Science Technologies adapted their Dynamic Feed Control software to work with the MachineMate control. This software enhances the CNC performance by enabling the machine operator to teach the optimized feed and speed override values.
Weber Systems released the Conversational Synergy software for use with the MachineMate control. This interactive shop floor CAD/CAM programming software is an affordable and easy to use package that comes in both mill and lathe versions.
Weber Systems also provides a post processor configuration for the MachineMate control in its high-end CAD/CAM software packages.
There are several CAD/CAM software companies that have already developed a post processor configuration for the MachineMate control.
The CAPSmill and CAPSturn CAD/CAM software from Cadem has post support.
The ESPRIT CAD/CAM software from DP Technology has post support.
Gibbs and Associates CAD/CAM software has post support.
The Partmaker CAD/CAM software from IMCS has post support.
Weber Systems has post support in its CAD/CAM software packages, from the high-end Synergy Silver to the low-end Conversational Synergy (that was developed for MachineMate).
With the standard DDE interface provided by the MachineMate soft PLC, any customer can easily adapt an existing software package with a DDE client to communicate with the MachineMate control. For example, both Microsoft Word and Microsoft Excel provide a DDE client that can communicate with the MachineMate control. Example documents with DDE links in these Microsoft Office applications are available from MACHINEMATE INC.
