Jan 2005: Driver Box Improvements.
Every Driver Box now Includes the
following:
- 4th Axis Amplifier and Port Included
- Input/Output Port Included
Dec 2003: New 'Open Architecture' Driver System
Design.
The Electronic Driver System nows supports standard Step
and Direction signal inputs. This opens it up for use with the vast array of
software control packages on the market such as the following:
Another advantage is that now all 4 axes can run from a
single printer port. Two output signals for relay control and four inputs are also
available for limit switch detection or other uses.
The Step/Dir adapter board is
also available as a $100 option for upgrading earlier driver systems. It is easily
installed into the existing driver box.
New Complex CAM Software Package:
VisualMill is a new CAM or toolpath generating package that is being
offered by MecSoft. It has a variety of advanced features comparable to MasterCam or
SurfCam - see www.mecsoft.com.
Low Cost 3D Software Development:
New Low Cost 3D Tool path generating package available from DelCam
called Millwizard. This package is a scaled down version of their standard ArtCam
jewelery design program at a fraction of the cost. The software basically performs
the same function as DeskProto at a significantly lower price of $250. It imports
.STL and .DXF files and allows 3D contouring tool paths to be created. This may be
the breakthrough we have been looking for in an afforable 3D tool path generating program.
See www.millwizard.com for more information.
New Improvements for the MicroMill 2000 series:
- NEW BOX WAY ASSEMBLY ON Z-AXIS (click here for picture)
- Powerful 200 oz-in. step motors on all axes.
- Rubber Way covers for Y-Axis.
