ANCA Academy November 2018

In today’s Tool Tip Tuesday we’ll show you how scripts can automate and simplify daily tasks. The script in this example can help you save endmill files in a specific filename format, by extracting certain information from the file that is currently open and then creating a file name based on this. For example, tool type, corner radius, tool diameter, number of flutes, helix and taper angle. After clicking ‘OK’, the script will also save the file in an appropriate directory. The ability to run scripts is a standard feature of ANCA ToolRoom software, so if you already have an ANCA machine you’re ready to start scripting. And the best part? It’s free!
