Multi-Channel Viewer Free Productivity App

The PartMaker Multi-Channel Viewer lets users quickly view multi-channel CNC programs side-by-side and automatically align synchronous machining operations with the click of a button.

PartMaker Inc., a division of Autodesk's Delcam unit, has launched a new, free PC-based app called the PartMaker Multi-Channel Viewer. The PartMaker Multi-Channel Viewer is available for download free of cost from partmaker.com/multichannelviewer. "The PartMaker Multi-Channel Viewer is a unique software application that allows users of turn-mill centers and Swiss-type lathes which require multi-channel CNC programs to view multi-channel CNC programs side-by-side and automatically align sync' or wait' codes. The PartMaker Multi-Channel is unique because it supports any multi-channel machine/control combination from every machine builder on the market. The application is highly intelligent, using proprietary technology to automatically recognize the CNC syntax required by specific machine tools. The PartMaker Multi-Channel Viewer is activated for each user by a PartMaker product specialist who will provide a customized machine configuration for the machines in the shop. Both the application and the custom configuration files are provided free of cost," said a company spokesperson.

The PartMaker Multi-Channel Viewer lets users view a multi-channel CNC program on one screen with just a few clicks of a button. It automatically displays synchronized processes across multiple channels for any multi-axis machine/control combination. The software allows users to search a multi-channel NC program quickly and easily. While the PartMaker Multi-Channel Viewer is not a CNC editor, it connects to a chosen CNC editor to allow programmers to make changes or corrections to a multi-channel NC program. The PartMaker Multi-Channel Viewer is configured for users personally, free of cost, for the exact array of multi-channel turn-mill centers and Swiss-type lathes in a user's shop. The software also works for any standard, single path NC machine as well.
