Delcam’s PartMaker offers free Multi-Channel Viewer app

Delcam’s PartMaker Division has launched a PC-based app called the PartMaker Multi-Channel Viewer that allows users of multi-tasking turn-mill centres and Swiss-type lathes to view and align multi-channel CNC programs automatically.

The program is activated for each machine shop by a PartMaker product specialist who provides a customised machine configuration. The software also works for any standard, single-path NC machine. Both the app and the custom configuration files are provided free of charge.

Once installed and configured, the PartMaker Multi-Channel Viewer lets users view a multi-channel CNC program on one screen. It displays synchronised processes automatically across multiple channels for any multi-axis machine/control combination.

While the PartMaker Multi-Channel Viewer is not a CNC editor, it can connect to the user's chosen CNC editor to allow changes to be made to multi-channel NC programs.
