We successfully achieved a DNC connection between a PC and a FADAL CNC 88HS controller for a FADAL 3016 vertical machining center (year of manufacture: 1996) so as to directly send G-code to the controller.

This Blog is to be updated with CNC machining related news and the most interesting CNC projects of Siasos R&D Studio
Food Industry Molds CNC Machining Programming
Recently we were called to program a set of mold that was to be used at the food industry. Programming was conducted on a 3-axis HAAS SMINIMILL2 (Super Μinimill 2) and the final code for each part was optimised for the reduction of production times. The final machining duration pleased both the machinists and the final users.
Post-Processor Creation for CMS G-REX
We successfully created a post-processor for a 5-axis marble working CNC machine (CMS G-REX) which was flawlessly integrated to our client’s CAM software!

DNC & Post-Processor for MESSER KS 20A
A DNC connection achieved for a MESSER KS 20A controller and a post-processor created so as to produce the appropriate code.
It was a challenging task because the controller was manufactured around 1986 and it was not designed to communicate with modern PCs. Also G-Code was not applicable for the particular controller. The post processor takes as input the toolpath generated by the CAM and exports ESSI code which is the valid programming code for the KS 20A controller.

Post-Processor Creation for SCM Record 120s
We successfully created a post-processor for a woodworking CNC machine (SCM Record 120s). Our client, who was using the ArtCAM software, achieved 50% reduction of machining times by adopting our post-processor!
