IMS Software Releases IMSpost 8.2 CNC Postprocessing Software
February 23, 2017
IMS Software, Inc. recently announced via news release the launch of IMSpost version 8.2. IMSpost transforms computer-aided design/manufacturing (CAD/CAM) cutter location files into the specific machine (G/M) codes required by numeric control machines, according to the company.
The latest version incorporates many new features and capabilities, the company noted, including:
- User interface improvements, including floating/docking windows for macro editing and debugging, to maximize use of dual-monitor workstations.
- A new interface for working plane (frames) management, with support for all major CNC controller vendor options.
- A new “transition management” interface, for more granular control of machine behavior between CAM operations.
- New library controllers for robotic controllers (Fanuc, Kuka, ABB) and enhanced capabilities for posting for robotic CNC applications.
- New “thread-safe” architecture (common with IMSverify) for improved performance and support of more complex (work cell) applications.
“IMSpost continues to provide the most complete post-processing support for today’s increasingly complex CNC environments, while simultaneously improving the user experience and ease of use,” said Dan Wrenn, president and co-founder of IMS Software. “Version 8.2 was developed to meet customer requirements to support increasingly demanding applications.”
