• After clicking the New Program button you are given the option to use the New Program Wizard

• This allows you to easily create a starting point for your program.
  

• Select the machine type you are creating a program for
  

• you will then be led through a series of questions and illustrations to determine the program structure required.
  

• Following on from this you must choose the type of part-off tool you are using.
  

• Now enter the basic program data such as the width of your part-off tool, length of part, bar diameter etc.

• These values will be used to complete the template and generate machining data.
  

• Your program template will then be displayed. This includes all the correct synchronisation commands for your part.

• This is a valid program at this point and will run on the machine (feeding through the bar and parting off) but you now need to begin adding processes relevant to the part you are making
  

• The task pane displays a list of processes related to the machine you selected.

• Depending on the machine it is divided into sections for main spindle, sub spindle etc.

• Within each section the processes are further categorised for end working, gang tool work etc. making it quick and easy to find the process you require.
  

• Before inserting code you must select the correct position in the program.

• It is best to work through the program from top to bottom, adding processes along the way.

• Each section of the program template is clearly commented to make it easy to select the correct location for each process.

• The sections described within the code closely match the sections within the code library tree.
  

• After selecting a process you will be presented with the code editor.

• A detailed description of the process is included along with a diagram to illustrate it (where applicable).

• You enter the relevant values based on your part within the code editor (values required are marked with asterisks *).

• Once finished click the insert button to place the code in your program at the location you chose earlier.

• Repeat for each process required until your program is complete.
  

"The software provided with the machine has made the most complex lathe in the factory the most user friendly. The machine is programmed from our engineering office off the shop floor, the majority of the programs do not need editing once programmed."

"After only a couple of hours training I now use the CNC Wizard for all offline programming on my new machine. I find it extremely quick & easy to use with its drop down menus and step by step guides enabling me to compile an accurate program in the shortest time."

"As you are aware this was a new concept for some of our guys, so having the Wizard as a programming aid made it so much easier for them to learn about the new machine, without the worry of instantly knowing all of the necessary codes."

"We are absolutely delighted with the "Wizard" software package. Both the operators who use the software when programming say that it saves them a tremendous amount of time. It generates a lot of programming codes & synchronizes the three different programming areas used. Their answer when I asked what they thought of it, was "Brilliant". That says it all really."
