RUBICON
is versatile CNC software based on CNC development experience since
1975. The language is an extended NC letter-address standard RS-274-D,
(N, G, M, etc.) which includes additional commands in BASIC, such
as IF, THEN, ELSE, GOTO, and other words such as ON, OFF, BLUE, PITCH,
REPEAT (more than 250 words in plain English). Hooks for software
extensions enable seamless integration of new functions.
Features
In addition to conventional CNC functions
it performs:
· |
High speed,
high accuracy machining - 80 smart look ahead buffers. |
| |
Eight axis linear,
circular and helical simultaneous interpolation. |
| |
Polar and spherical
coordinates azimuth-elevation / pitch-yaw and roll. |
· |
Look-ahead cutter
radius compensation, chamfering and automatic rounding of any
corner. |
· |
User defined canned
cycles and conversational programming. |
· |
Subroutines, functions,
loop, chaining and calling programs. |
· |
Color graphic display,
powerful multi-window editor. |
· |
Common computer chores:
number crunching, text and file processing, screen manipulation. |
Compiler
RUBICON
compiles a user program and produces a machine code file instead
of interpreting each block while cutting. That means that all syntax
and typing errors are detected before the actual cutting begins.
In addition, it takes less than 33 micro-seconds to process a block,
while other high speed control builders are proud with 1 msec for
the same.
(Test conditions: 200 MHz Pentium, sequence of blocks with N and
X,Y,Z)
The time is saved because the compiler translates decimal numbers
into binary format and replaces all Goto line numbers with absolute
memory address.
RUBICON is
an 8-axis Computerized Numerical Control software package, for high
speed, high accuracy, machine tools and industrial robots.
RUBICON’S PC target platform is Pentium 200 MHz or better,
running in DOS mode.
