We are looking at a second Nested based CNC sometime soon. I also have two Comac Point-to-Point machines in the factory, and then a small Razor Desktop machine at home to play with, and to do some sideline jobs. EnRoute is a leading CAD/CAM design software that provides 2D & 3D design & toolpath capabilities for CNC routers, lasers, plasma, waterjet and knife. It is not the neatest set up, but it works well for us. Enroute 5 Software Full enroute software, enroute software training, enroute software free download, enroute software australia, enroute software tutorials. The machine works very hard, running 7 hours a day, every day, and have not had any major issues, besides small things like servicing bearings etc. I there have two screens, one mimiking the WinCNC screen on the Camaster, and the other with a video camera, so I can see live what is happening on the machine. In my office, I have my drawing PC, where I do all my designing. Hence I had to add a button on WinCNC which runs a small batch file to shut doen the pc. I have put a Windows shell onto the pc, sothat when you start the pc, it automatically starts WinCNC, and hides the task bar. In the "Camaster CR-609 ATC 2" pic, you can see, I mounted the screen on the bottom of a rasied floor (which is my office), so that the screen is also out of the way, but still visible when working on the machine. There is also a small "remote" button box, which are buttons to start a cycle, stop a cycle and to start the pc in the morning.


In the "Control box" pic, I had built a small box onto the machine, where the PC sits in, with ventilation etc. I wrote a small macro to start and stop the vaccum pump at the start and end of jobs. In the "Camaster Layout" pic, you will see that I had built a small platform above the Camaster, where the vaccum pump sits on (to save a little space on the floor). Sorry, very dirty, but it is busy working.
