OMAX Corporation will debut the latest version of its Intelli-MAX Software Suite at IMTS 2012. Their new Intelli-MAX 18 provides programming power with functions and features that deliver increased compatibility, expandability and customizability for a wide variety of operations, including 3D part processing.
Intelli-MAX 18 can support up to six axes of coordinated motion – X,Y,Z linear, two tilt and one rotary. With this type of functionality, manufacturers can quickly and easily program and cut 3D patterns in a multitude of applications, from the peripheries of tubes and pipes and fitting operations to prep cuts and bevels.
To ensure manufacturers can continue to use their existing CAM systems, Intelli-MAX 18 provides compatibility for more than two dozen third-party CAM systems, including Mastercam, CATIA, SURFCAM and Edgecam. In addition, Intelli-MAX 18 allows for over four dozen file format import options such as Adobe Illustrator, DXF, DWG, SVG and PDF.
New programming features of the Intelli-MAX 18 expand the capabilities of an OMAX JetMachining Center in terms of cutting various parametric shapes. Supplied parametric shapes within the software eliminate programming redundancy and simplify production.
The latest software also features the new Intelli-VISORTM System Monitoring Package that allows users to customize machine monitoring. The user can selec which aspects of the machine are monitored and specify the action the machine should take if a situation occurs.
Another new function of Intelli-MAX 18 is one that allows users to insert, at any point in a toolpath, special commands designated as command numbers representing command strings. This feature is especially beneficial when programming complex commands such as wrapping an existing 2D path/pattern around a 3D part such as tube or pipe.
The new software is free to all existing OMAX JetMachining Center owners, and users will have access to over 2,000 pages worth of the latest tutorials, troubleshooting guides, and tips and tricks directly at the control.
OMAX will be showing their product at booth N-6228.
