Advanced Verification Graphics : 3D Solid Rendering with dynamic rotation
significantly reduces scrap and programming time. View rendered part from any angle without the need to redraw it.

Tool & Material Library: Tool and stock data are stored with the machine, not each individual part program. Eliminates redundancy. Saves time. Simplifies programming. Prevents common tool crash conditions.

Swept Surface: Simplifies programming of 3D contours. Reduces programming time by 80%. Simplifies programming of 3D contours. Use fewer data blocks to program. Design contours as pockets or islands with draft angles. Control step over or cusp height. Constant Z-level or Z-spiral roughing or finishing.

NC/Conversational Merge: Combines the best of both programming methods.NC users can apply conversational features, such as part and tool probing, hole operations and patterns, to existing G-Code programs. Conversational users can call an NC program by using a simple calling sequence (NC Macro).

Select Surface Finish Quality (SFQ): Control surface finish and run time in one easy step.
Use on-screen slider bar to select desired surface finish quality and the software automatically programs throughput accordingly.

Enhanced DXF Transfer: A great feature made even better. Save more time than ever before. More editing capabilities at the machine without the need to send file back to CAD system.

Tool Center Point Management: Saves time programming and reduces errors.The coordinate transformation and machine geometry are configured automatically at run time. No need to specify the part zero location of the stock. Position stock anywhere on the table. Reduces errors when posting from a CAM system.

4th Axis Rotary Wrap: Simplifies wrap and unwrap of 2D contours around Rotary A-Axis.

Surface Finish Improvement: Advanced smoothing algorithm (patent pending) and improved motion system yield superb surface finish.

Part Program Preview with graphics and comments: Eliminates need to open each file from the hard drive when you're searching files for the program you need. Extended file naming.

Program Review with Fast Cut/Copy/Paste: Save steps. Save time.

Context Sensitive Help: The right help at the right time. No searching.

Internationally Standardized Tap Selections: Tap selection is easier to match to specs.

True Type Lettering: More flexibility. More fonts.

Personalized Program Default Settings: Switch between metric and inches.

Real Time Tool Simulation: Graphically shows you where the tool is within the part program.

Tool Review: Shows you data blocks where the tool is used.

Tool Type Checking: Filter tool selection list to include tools that apply to feature being used.

More Tool Descriptions: 27 new tool types

Write Protect Program Files: Prevent accidental overwriting of part programs.

Concurrent G-code Programming: Edit one program while another program is running.

NC probing canned cycles: Part Zero-Corner, Hole, Rectangle Skew-Edge, Hole, Cylinder, Rectangle Pocket.

NC Display: See 11 lines of NC data and current modal states during run time.

Live Tooling for TMM line (lathe only): Axial and radial mill and drill operations. Rigid tap.

Swivel head 5-Axis features (VMX42SR Only): Interrupt diagonal retraction (M-Code M140 retracts tool along its axis).
