Compass 2

Compass 2 is the CNC software solution for iCube Control. Compass 2 is engineered to combine the scalability of an industrial PC for user interface and path planning with the real-time motion and logic control of the iC9200, providing machine tool builders with a highly optimized CNC control solution.

Features
Compass 2 - Overview
Fast
- Blazing fast G-Code processing, macro logic, and path planning delivers maximum productivity. Block look-ahead and high-speed contouring algorithms ensure high sustained feedrates, precise corner tolerances, and smooth cut quality.
Flexible
- Use the included example user interface to start cutting quickly and modify it as you choose or create a fully customized user interface that reflects your own style. With Compass Designer, you can create a professional looking Windows app with no code.
Powerful
- Create G-Code and macro programs for tool changers, probing, or canned cycles. From simple one-line commands to advanced PLC routines, customization is limited only by your imagination.
Simple
- PLC integration is easy with the iCube Engineer Library and starter project. Simply configure your servo axes and I/O, and the system is ready for motion.
Solutions for Routers:
Tool Changer
- Use any style tool changer and even multiple tool changers. Customize the tool change sequence using tool changer macros and custom G-codes and M-codes to minimize cycle time and maximize tool capacity.
Coordinate Systems
- Multiple coordinate systems allow programs to operate in machine coordinates, fixture coordinates, workpiece coordinates, or local coordinates. Stacked coordinate system transforms means it is easy to accurately locate parts in the machine and features on that part.
Cutter Compensation
- Tool length and radius compensation allows one program to be run on multiple machines while automatically accounting for differences between individual tools.
Tangent Knife
- Cut vinyl, corrugated, textiles, leather, foam, and other materials with clean edges and no tearing. Accurate tangent control improves cut quality and blade life.
Aggregate Head
- Aggregate heads expand router capability to a CNC router by allowing access to hard-to-reach areas on the workpiece.
