The above video clip shows the Auto-Z Initialization in operation. The Auto-Z Option allows the user to use an electronic sensor when installing a new cutting tool into the tool changer carousel. This feature has the following benefits:
- Changes the manual Z-axis initialization process to an automated Z-axis initialization process.
- Provides more consistency and accuracy by setting Z-axis values on precise electronic sensor readings and not by operator feel or judgment.
- Permanently installed at the right rear location of the router table and will not interfere with day to day operation.
- Easily adjusted to the new table height when the user re-surfaces or flycuts the table top.
The new Dieworks 2.6 software release will benefit all current Gerber ProfileTM operators, as detailed below.
Output by layers. This feature allows the user to select and re-arrange cutting order by layer name or by tool path(current method). The benefit of using output by layer name is the user will be more efficient, especially when sending complicated, mult-layer jobs to the Gerber Profile. Selecting the output by layer option will eliminate the tedious process of selecting cutting order based on cutting tools and/or toolpath.
Expanded templates capability from 64 to 200. This feature increases template capacity from 64 templates to 200 templates. The benefit of more templates will allow the user to expand their use of Auto-Process capabilities and therefore be more efficient with Gerber Profile tool path assignments.
Auto-process standard templates included. This feature provides a baseline, standard set of templates. We have included a standard set of auto process templates for Gerber Dieboards, phenolic counterplates, thin plates, stripping tools, blanking tools, samples and coating blankets. The benefits of these standard templates will ensure consistency between Gerber Profile training and operators. This will also establish a solid baseline for Gerber Profile tool path assignments.
Contour Logic Control: A user selectable feature that is designed to improve the performance and operation of jobs that contain small curvatures and tight radius geometries. Users who have experienced slow cutting for these types of jobs should try this option.
USB Security Block: Dieworks security is now enabled using a USB security device as opposed to a parallel port security device. This provides support for newer PC’s which are phasing out parallel ports in favor of USB ports.
