How Does Kipware® Conversational Differ from CAD/CAM ?

  • Kipware® is conversational CNC programming software designed for everyday CNC programming jobs. It uses a simple fill in the blank format allowing anyone to create powerful G code programs for those everyday toolpaths.

  • 85-90% of programming done in machine shops every day does not require CAD/CAM or a CAD/CAM programmer. Kipware® can create these everyday programs simply and quickly. Saving time and money.

  • CAD/CAM systems are expensive and complex...Kipware® conversational is affordable and easy to use.

  • Kipware® is Conversational-No Drawing Experience Required...that means you'll be creating powerful G code programs easily and efficiently.

  • Kipware® is Intelligent-Automatically includes powerful G code features like canned cycles and cutter comp.

  • The simple interface enables more of your people to create G code programs...breaking up shop floor programming bottlenecks.

  • For that "non-standard programming...the powerful and intelligent Kipware® SketchPad allows you to import your DXF file or draw your non-standard toolpath directly.

  • No Post Processors--"Auto-creates" Okuma and "Fanuc compatible" code out of the box ... code that functions on 95% of machine controls in the market including Haas.

  • KipwareT®'s simple fill-in-the-blank concept allows anyone to create G code programs ... and include COMPLEX programming operations like CUTTER COMPENSATION ... AUTO CHAMFERS ... or create COMPLEX THREADING programs with multiple angles ... using canned cycles or long hand G code.

  • Conversational screens are available for most common operations such as: Shaft Like Turning - Roughing and Finishing; Grooving - Face, OD, ID or Pulley Type; Threading - OD,ID, Tapered, Straight and more; Bar Pulling / Feeding; Drilling, - Short with Canned Cycle and Custom Deep Drilling Cycle Creation; Tapping; Plus OD / Face Milling and Drilling with the Optional LIVE TOOL OPTION.
  • Completely conversational ... utilizes fill in the blank forms to create powerful G code programs.
  • Our uniquely designed shaft cutting cycle is the quickest and easiest tool on the market to create G code programs to rough and finish shafts ... and includes auto corner chamfer or radii.
  • Includes Kipware® SketchPad for those non-standard contours and shapes... no CAD experience required.
    • SketchPad's AutoPath feature allows user to enter only known data and auto-calculates the remaining points.
    • Conversational menu used for machining of sketch.
    • Setting Options available for inch or metric as well as color themes and machine specific output.
  • Completely compatible ... any canned cycles created are auto formatted for the correct CNC control.
  • G Code created with KipwareT are multi-axis compatible.
  • KipwareT® includes:
    • Two (2) Seats ... users can install the software on (2) separate PC's and use them independently.
    • Unlimited Tech support by phone or email free for 60 days.
    • NO maintenance fees ... upgrades are usually priced reasonably in the $95 - $145 range.
    • KipwareT® Conversational Programming Software
    • KipwareDNC® Communications Software - for serial / RS232 communications between machine/PC.
    • KipwareT® Trainer - Access to our constantly upgraded video training web page.
    • Trig Kalculator - Point Plotting Assistant
    • SketchPad - CAD drawing of the toolpath desired.
    • Shop Calculator - IN - METRIC / RPM - SFM / FEEDRATE conversions; Drill Point calculations; Tap Drill chart; Screw dimension information; SPEED and FEED DATABASE for hundreds of materials for turning, milling and drilling.
  • KipwareT® Options Available:
    • Live Tool Option - allows for the creation of milling and drilling programs from within a conversational setting.
    • KipwareTP® ... G Code Editor and Toolpath Plotting Software for easy and simple program verification
    • KipwarePA® ... Programming Assistant Software.
    • KipwareXC® - CNC Program Conversion Software that allows users to convert the standard Fanuc and Okuma code created by KipwareT® into G code compatible with other machines and controls.
PC and CNC Requirements for KipwareT®
