Autolink

Including: PanelMaker for Autocad

THE AUTOLINK CONCEPT

Simplicity

AutoLink (AL) is a seamless conversion program designed to automate the transfer of geometrical information from CAD and Cabinet Design programs to the Busellato Machining Center. The program will work with most any CAD system that generates a true DXF file. The PC requirements should meet or exceed those of the machine control PC, listed above.

AL is designed to be controlled from CAD so the operator has unlimited flexibility switching between screens. For AutoCAD (14 or 2000) users, Panel Maker is included making parts creation a snap. Drawing conversion is a one ‘click’ operation. Panel Maker provides a collection of dialog boxes for fast drawing generation. Dialog boxes are accessible within AutoCAD for: Border, Vertical Drilling, Horizontal Drilling, Groove Saw, and Routing.

If you use other CAD or Cabinet Design Systems, AL can be set to automatically or manually process DXF files from CAD or CDS, as well as automatically batch process the multiple DXF files exported by Cabinet Design Systems.

For all users, AutoLink will:
-Batch Process (generates binaries if desired)
-Automatically bring up the Busellato graphic program editor to view results
-Synthesize Lead-ins and Lead-outs with ramping if desired
-Z axis oscillation for the router to more evenly distribute bit wear
-Automatically move the start point of an inside cutout to prevent the corner overshoot
-Automatically route to depth in multiple passes when desired
-One line in the drawing can represent multiple passes or multiple routers
-Breaks large drawings up into multiple G code programs when needed
-Pocket routing is easily done from a rectangle or rectangle with rounded corners in the drawing
-Complete control of routers from within drawing
-Can process drawings that use lines, arcs, circles and polylines
-Can route slopes from 2D drawings
-Supports horizontal routing
-Cursor help tells you what each item in AutoLink does just by placing the cursor on the item
-Generates a cutlist file and a .PTS file

AutoBar generates custom designed barcode labels in a user defined format from: G code program files, CSV files, or CPOUT files (labels are printed in the order the parts will be cut). Labels can include the part image and placement icon to assist the operator. Embedded codes in the barcode ready the machine for part placement and clamping. Panel support and vacuum cup layout is supported on bar code. AutoBar supports Scanpression (2D barcode) where the barcode contains the complete machining program.

If you desire to read barcodes at the machine, DMG recommends you purchase the DMG installed Symbol Scanner when the machine is purchased. DMG will provide phone support to the customer’s system integrator for automatic printing and bar code integration with other systems: saws, printers, etc. On-site system integration can be purchased at DMG’s standard published rates. Busellato has successful installations with the following software packages: AutoCAD, Pattern Systems Drill Mate, Cabnetware, Cabinet Vision, CadCode, MicroVellum, Design CAD, Generic CAD, Easy CAD, Keytrix Data Systems, Kreate, Holzma Cutrite, AutoCAD Lite, and Microstation. One copy of this software is included with the machine and may not be copied.
