Best Engineering Software for AIM POS

Predator DNC software is an industrial networking solution for connecting CNC machines, robots, CMMs, PLCs, laser markers, dot peen markers, tool presetters and test stands to the company network. Predator DNC is used for CNC programs, CNC variables, offsets, parameters, PLC registers and other production file formats. Predator DNC supports 50+ industrial communication protocols for dripfeeding, downloading, and uploading via parallel, RS-232, RS-422, Ethernet and wireless Ethernet.

Predator MDC is real time machine monitoring software. It automatically collects, charts, and processes real-time shopfloor manufacturing data, including OEE, idle time and machine downtime. Predator MDC improves manufacturing by providing accurate shop floor productivity metrics and KPIs to help improve operations and make better decisions. Predator MDC keeps you informed about your manufacturing performance. It measures how efficiently your machines are used, the productivity of your workers and the production rates. Predator MDC allows you to compare continuous improvement results in lean manufacturing efforts. Predator MDC organizes real-time data into actionable metrics and KPIs for availability, quality, and performance. With just a few mouse clicks, you can access KPIs or metrics for specific machines as well as rolled up KPIs or metrics for entire departments across multiple plants.

Predator RCM software, a flexible robotic cell controller, scheduler, and robot controller, is designed to automate a Cell of CNC Machines. It also allows for part markers, cleaners, and other manufacturing equipment. Predator RCM allows for lights out operation and production, as well as flexible manufacturing and complete automation. Predator RCM schedules each robot to load and unload every CNC machine and CMM within the cell. Hands-free operation from raw material to finished products. Predator RCM supports a wide variety of pallets, tooling and RFID tags. You can increase the productivity of your CNC machines and reduce the labor/operator requirements. Predator RCM can robotically tend to any type of machine by using the right fixtures and robotic grippers. Common machine types include CNC machines and CMMs, CMMs, laser markings, part washers, and other manufacturing and inspection processes.

Predator Virtual CNC software simulates and verifies the operation of your CNC machines from your computer. Simulating the machining process offline can help you save time, money, scrapped parts, tool breaks, and machine crashes. It also improves safety and productivity. Predator Virtual CNC™, supports all standard vertical, horizontal, and complex machine configurations with 2-5 axis. Our flexible reverse post processors allow for user-definable machine tool configurations. This allows standard VMCs as well as HMCs to work with us. All standard milling, turning, and drilling cycles are supported. Advanced cycles, such as subs, macros and variables, logic codes, and trig codes, are all supported. Predator Virtual CNC is optimized to 3-axis surface milling and can handle large files without running out. Processing speeds of up to 3,000 blocks per minute are possible, while maintaining the required accuracy. Predator Virtual CNC 5 Axis also offers 3+2 support.
