Post-processors and Process Sheets
KeyMachinist includes a fully-configurable post generation utility providing
custmers total control of G-code output. Basic configuration files are included
for most common machines and expert assistance with additional or custom posts
is one of the strengths of our KeyMachinist Center in Seattle.
Simple configuration utility interface and sample G-code output Process sheets manage the association between KeyCreator CKD files and NC files
generated by KeyMachinist. CKD files contain the part geometry,
in-process models, clamps, etc. and the toolpaths. NC files contain the G-code
output from sets of selected toolpaths from each CKD file. These sheets
provide shop floor documentation for the machinist to accompany the G-code
files. KeyMachinist generates process sheets in HTML format, ready for
distribution and viewing with many common software programs typically found
pre-installed on all PCs (i.e. Mircosoft Internet Explorer).
Process sheet setup is kept simple by importing G-code files and
picking toolpaths. Process sequence can be re-arranged by clean manipulation of
a list.
