— ONGAA CAM

New with the HOMAG DrillTeq H/V/D series machine come a new version of WoodWOP to support a new instruction. ‘Insert Dowel’.

WoodWOP 7.2 introduced a new instruction which expands the control of the dowel insertion operation.

ONGAA CAM now also fully supports this new <192 / Dowel insertion instruction in its MPR generation. This includes not only the creation of the <192 process over the creation of 2 separate drill and insert processes (ABD_ENU replacement) but also includes the setting of ‘Side variables’ to ensure correct part placement.

ONGAA CAM can generate all ‘Dowel Insertions’ on 2 sides of a part at the same time.

With the single process ONGAA CAM will produce 8 Dowel process for the machine.

Development and testing are currently underway on the latest addition to the ONGAA CAM line up. ONGAA CAM for G-code will be able to create .nc .gcode style programs for machines such as Thermwood, AXYZ , Anderson and NANXING (SYNTEC).

The same, easy to use, intuitive interface is used. Adding machining processes is simple selecting a process type, selecting the edges that define it and picking the tool (if needed).

The primary release will be provide 3 axis machining suitable for nesting table as well as pod & rail machines and will also provide the ONGAA CAM nesting option.

Processing functions in v1 will be Vertical Drilling, Vertical Milling (Routing), Vertical Pockets (Rectangular w/ round corners) and Vertical ‘Polygon’ Pockets.

Vertical Saw will follow as will Horizontal Drilling.
