Postprocessing by GTR mbH

The PASCAM interface to the GTR postprocessor is providing automation to the greatest extent next to a variety of additional adjustment parameters which can be modified directly from within PASCAM Bea.

The GTR postprocessor provides the tools to produce the most dimensionally accurate parts i.e. by:

  • Comprehensive technology database for highly automated machining (i.e. feed rates, C-angle and other machining technology).

  • Automatic adjustment of lead-in paths for tool positioning

  • Additional functions, e.g. pocket milling/countersinking

  • Open, user defined, tool database management

  • Additional feed modes

  • 3D CNC machining simulation

GTR mbH is specialized in developing efficient, proven and economical CAM postprocessors for all common CNC woodworking machine centers. Relying on their own, open GTR tool and technology database, a very high grade of automation is available for all 3 and 4 axis CNC machines. The postprocessor specific parameter specification is enabling the control and CAM program generation for multiple machines from different woodworking CNC machine manufacturers.

The GTR tool and technology database allows the compilation of all relevant tool data and technology data. These data are used by the GTR-post processor to generate optimized NC programs for each machine. In addition to the standard parameters any other parameters can be freely configured in this database. This allows the adjustment of the database to very specific tasks, and therefore to an optimized machining of parts. User configurable additional tables enable i.e. the compilation of router feed and speed values depending on wood type and grain direction.

The powerful GTR postprocessor also offers toolpath verification in simulation with user defined drill banks and router tools when generating the CAM program.

PASCAM Bea is using the proven GTR DCV file format as a direct interface.

The latest result of our longstanding relationship with GTR is the smart and affordable nested based machining solution 'GTR Nest Management powered by PASCAM Bea', which was developed with our partner CAM GTR.
