Multichannel features

Synchronization, machine time optimization, simulation, auxiliary operations

Sync points setup

Each MTM node works with a separate controller / channel, using its own program.

Therefore, it is necessary to create NC code for each machine controller / channel.

These programs require synchronization; pausing is necessary.

SprutCAM X has the sync points setup feature for this purpose. Sync points can be put anywhere in the NC code.

Machine time optimization

Evaluation and load balancing on each of the control channels.
Distribution of job between channels.

Toolpath calculation and simulation

Machine kinematic schemes with several nodes, several workpiece fixing places and possibility of axes distribution between several channels.

Auxiliary operations

Loading, unloading and takeover of the workpiece programming.
