1 Quick Start
This quick start introduces you into camQuix functions and in how programming with
camQuix works. For more detailed information please see the relevant chapter.

Quick Start 3
1.1 Producing a new Program

In order to produce a program for a single Cut (=workpiece or part),
open the File menu and select New or click the corresponding Tool Bar button
:
Because the single parts are always being saved with an accompanying order and
an accompanying profile Bar, camQuix is now creating a new order with a Bar
(BAR) and one part (CUT). When working with a machine that supports several
clamping positions, there is an additional field for entering the details for the position
of the workpiece on the machine (Origins) and operation side of the workpiece.
Multiple clamping can be selected over "Options > Paths & Organization >
Origin"
The new component comes with default values: 1000mm length, 60 by 60mm square

profile.
Note:
After each important change of the program the actual state is automatically
being saved on the hard disk. This means that even in the case of a sudden
power failure, the work remains saved.
Nevertheless, you should save your program in regular intervals.
In order to save a program either you choose

File -> Save in the main menu or you click directly Save .
When saving a program for the first time a file name is to be chosen. Afterwards you
can save your program with the chosen name.

Quick Start 5
1.2 Enter a new Job

In our example we have already created a pre-defined Job by selecting New in the
menu. Alternatively, you can create a new profile in the Tree View with the right
mouse button,
or via menu File > New Job

Every Job may include a set of profiles and parts and is used to enter details like
order number, client name etc. This information consists of text which is shown later
in the NC program as note or which can be printed on labels depending on the
defined setting. It is possible to create several Jobs in one program.
All Job details consist of management data, which are important for printing the
barcode or a setup sheet, but do not influence if the generated NC code will run.
In part, these management data are used in the post processor as file name of the
NC program.

Quick Start 7
1.3 Enter a new Bar

In our example a standard Bar is defined via the New menu item. Alternatively, you
can create a New profile Bar in the Tree View with the right mouse button,
or via menu File > New Bar.
In order to define details for our Bar, click the row,

and enter the Bar Values into the input area that is shown below:
or import an existing profile cross-section from the profile data base.
Select a profile cross-section and confirm with the OK-button.

The profile name (file name of the DXF file), the offset, possible rotation and
reflection as well as the dimensions of the profile are being copied automatically into
the input area.

Quick Start 9
The selected material determines the range of suitable tools for your selection. A
Bar refers to the total length of the profile. It is possible to produce several parts out
of one Bar.

1.4 Enter a new Cut

In our example via New a standard Cut is defined. Alternatively, you can create a
New Cut in the Tree View with the right mouse button,
or via menu File > New Cut
In order to define details for our profile, click the row,

Quick Start 11

and enter following values into the input area:
All changes to input values are immediately displayed in the 3-D-window.
The information, e.g. Com-Nr (= commission number) and Name, is management

data, which are important for printing the barcode or a setup sheet, but do not
influence if the generated NC code will run.
However, the Cut Values are partly used by in the post processor for the name of the
NC program.
By changing the Cut value "Horizontal", you define the inclination angle of the saw.
By changing the Cut value "Vertical (Shift)" you define the turning angle of the saw.
The field "CutLoss" displays the length of the Bar wasted in miter cuts. The first data
field displays the theoretical (relating to the Cut surface) Cut loss. The second data
field displays the real outer edge (relating to the profile contour).
The length of the Cuts is being measured as theoretical maximum tip length. In the
case of miter Cuts, due to the shape of the profile cross-section, there may be no
material at the position of the theoretical tips. The real length of a Cut is therefore
shorter. This difference is being calculated automatically based upon the profile
cross section, if such exists, and displayed as Cut-loss for the left or right side.
These values are important for the correction of the X-positions in case the Cuts are
processed with a separate saw and in a next step positioned at a plate.
The optional field "Assembly" (not shown in the graphic) is displayed when you
process groups of Cuts. These groups are defined as assembly, which are clamped
on the machine at the same time. The value –1in the "Assembly" field indicates that
no assembly has been assigned for this Cut.
The zero point indicates in which clamping position the Cut is later clamped on the
machine. The offset function allows to calculate cauls (supports and spacers) at the
fixing plate.

Quick Start 13
1.5 New Work

A New Work can be added via the context menu of the Tree View with the right
mouse button,
or directly by clicking the icon .

The type of Work is then chosen:
1. Drilling
2. Tap
3. Countersink
4. Notch out
5. Free Milling
6. Engraving
7. Circle-pocket
8. Slot
9. Rectangular hole
10. Keyhole (e.g. olive type)
11. Measurement
12. DXF import
13. Macro

The various Work types are described in more detail in the chapter Work Types.
In our example we choose a simple drilling.
In the data input area, you can enter data like: side, position, depth, etc.

Quick Start 15
I. Choosing the Work side

One of the standard sides (top, front or back, left or right, bottom) or a free
side (= a custom defined side) can be chosen from the pick list
A free side is selected via the "more..." item.
The new side is displayed as a yellow outlined rectangle displayed with a

coordinate axis at the zero point (origin) of the side. The longer red coordinate-
axis is the new X-axis. The red and green axes are the new X and Y axes and
are in the plane of the new side. The new Z-axis is blue, and points out of the
plane. All standard sides are defined with the Z-axis pointing away from the
Cut.
Note:
The intrusion-direction of a work is always in the opposite direction to
the direction of the Z-axis of the side.
(See also chapter Side Dialogue).
II. Definition of position (X , Y and Z)
After the side has been determined, all positions regarding this side are
determined. This means one is working as with a piece of paper which one
would put on this side. So, we are always working in X and Y coordinates,
and set the height of a Work (Z coordinate), if necessary.

III. Definition of the parameters:

Following information is needed for the different Work types:
Drilling, Tap and Circle pocket and Countersink: Diameter

Countersink: Tip-Angle of countersink
Slot and Rectangular hole: Length ,width and
rotation angle
Only for Rectangular hole: Radius
For all Processings: Working depth
Note:
The depth of the Works in the NC-output are automatically addition of
an additional intrusion, and drilling are corrected by addition of a tailing
both set in the options dialogue. Drillings are also corrected by addition
of the tip length of the drill bit.
IV.Optional information:
These values will influence the generation of the NC program at a later stage.

Quick Start 17
1) Assigned Tools:
Displays only the tools changed manually.

Change the tools with the button , under the button. (See
image above).
As described in the chapter "Automatic Tool Assignment", the tools for all the
Works are normally assigned automatically. Nevertheless, in some cases you
may wish to manually choose tools from the current tool set, as described
above.
2) Priority:
Additionally, all Works can have a so called priority assigned to them. The
order optimization during NC program generation is influenced according to
the following rules:
· No works with a lower priority will be set before a work with a higher
priority.
(e.g. all operation with Priority “1” must be finished BEFORE any
operation with Priority “2” will be done)
· Works with priority 0 can be optimized at any position.
· Works with priority -1 will stay in the (unoptimized) listed order, they are
building an unbroken chain.
· Rem. : The system sorts „Drillings, Countersinks and Tappings
automatically into this order, there’s no need to define that by the Priority.
3) Broach:
Has the pocket to be only processed by the outer shape for the web of a profile
or has the whole area of the shape of the pocket to be milled?
4) Tailing
The value set in menu Options > NC > Pocket Tailing is added to the Cut
depth. This will be used only when cutting through the entire material thickness.
5) In the settings "Technology" you can activate the checkbox "Drill-

Tip-Correction":
The Depth of the working now will be no longer as deep as the tip of the drill;
It now will have more depth so that the drill with its complete diameter is outside
the working.

Example (with a drill diameter of 8mm and tip-angle of 118°):

Depth without correction: 5mm
Depth with correction: 7.403mm
6) Milling Direction:
Here you can set the Work direction.

The direction of milling a pocket is set to either Upmilling or Downmilling.
7) Suppress Towing:
Activate for parallel processing of several parts, if you don't want the machine
to pull apart the single workpieces. (When several cuts are clamped on the
machine, it pulls them apart to reach between the workpieces for working).
8) Finishing Cycle:
The contour is proceeded twice. The distance between the rough cut and the
fine cut can be defined in the options under “NC”
9) Measure Z:
If a measuring device is installed for measuring the profile height, the height will
be measured before the Works are processed. Depends on the post
processor.
10) Measuring:
Displays measuring points which are important for the work. Therefore the
measuring points have to be set previously. Requires a 3D probe (with radio
transmission) and a corresponding post processor.

Quick Start 19
11) Penetrate in G00:
When processing free contours with a starting point OUTSIDE of the Material,
the mill may plunge in the fast mode. Attention: Risk of collision!
Note:
With pushing centers enabled, priorities will be considered only for
processes in the same field.
The command that a Bar may not be pushed back, will be executed first.

2 Program Surface
This chapter explains all elements for the user interface, such as the windows, input
areas and dialog, menus and the tool bar. Various windows and input input areas
can be resized.

Program Surface 23
2.1 Icon Bar
By using the Tool Bar you can access the main functions directly. The Tool Bar exists
of five single Tool Bars which can be individually shown or hidden. To do so, click the
Tool Bar with the left mouse button or the menu bar with the right mouse button and
select the separate Tool Bars you would like to have visible in the pop-up menu.
All Tool Bars can be moved to any side of the main window by dragging them.

2.1.1 Tool Bar „File Management“

By using the tool bar file management’, file functions can be accessed easily:
1. New program
2. Open existing program

2.1.4.1 Tool Bar „OpenGL Settings“
With the button, you can select if you’d like to see the model as
wireframe or solid. With the slider you can change the transparency of the solid or
wireframe model.

Program Surface 29
2.2 3D-Window
Within the 3D-window a Cut (part) with all Works is displayed three-dimensionally.
Allows real-time inspections of the changes made to the Works.

The view on the graphical surface can simply be turned, moved or zoomed.
With the mouse the view of a component (or later the simulation) can be navigated:
Rotate Component Left mouse button The component will be

rotated around the selected
work (operation). If there is
no operation selected,
component is rotated
around its axis.
Move Component Middle or left mouse button
and ALT at the same time
Zoom Component Mouse wheel
Select Work SHIFT and left mouse
button
Zoom Area CTRL and left mouse button
The right mouse button opens a pop-up menu with all commands for zooming and
positioning:

Program Surface 31
Hot keys exist for quick navigation to standard views :
CTRL + 1 or CTRL + PAGEUP Top

CTRL + 2 or CTRL + ARROWDOWN Front
CTRL + 3 or CTRL + ARROWUP Back
CTRL + 4 or CTRL + ARROWLEFT Left
CTRL + 5 or CTRL + ARROWRIGHT Right
CTRL + 6 or CTRL + PAGEDOWN Bottom
CTRL + 7 Active Work in plunge direction
CTRL + 8 Active Work in X direction
CTRL + 9 Isometric view from the left hand
CTRL + 0 Isometric view from the right hand
CTRL + P Change between perspective and
orthogonal view
SPACE Zoom to Bar size
These hot keys work only if the last mouse click was made inside of the 3D-window.
There is an origin displayed as a red ball for each Cut at (0, 0 , 0), to help with
orientation.The actual origin on the machine can differ depending of factors such as
special clamps, programmed offsets, several zero points, etc.
Note:
The orientation of the profile is derived automatically from the profile cross-
section drawing data (DXF-file).This cross-section is used to generate a 3D
profile from the LEFT end, as placed on a machine. The cross section of the
profile is therefore the view of the profile if one has a look on the machine
from the left.
Additional profile orientation changes are described in the section "Profile

Database".

2.3 Tree View
The tree view displays all elements of a program in a tree structure.
The tree view has been built just like the standard explorer from Windows:
The single branches of the tree are:
Groups of parts of a machine assembly (numbered

Assembly
conseCutively)
Order Order with information such as customer, position…
Bar Information to the profile, profile number or width/hight,
Information to the part, length of part, Cutting angle,
Cut
commission number…
Work data, drilling, rectangle bag, free
Work
milling court...
As in the explorer the blocks can be fold in or out (click or double click), complete
blocks can be deleted or copied.

Program Surface 33
With the right mouse button the context menu can be opened:
zoom operation Zoom in the 3D view to the active operation (work) zoom

Program Surface 35
2.4 Chart of Variables
Note: Sometimes the window containing the job variables is hidden by the
profile window. In this case drag the profile window down.
Each order has variables that can be freely determined (10 are already created, the
volume however is not restricted),The values of the variables can be used for all
further information.

Example:
In one order, a door, completely door with frame and wing is being programmed.
In the variables, the door height, door width and pusher height is being determined
as variable.
The length of the separate parts and position for all operations do not need to be
fixed programmed, but is being calculated from height, width and pusher height.
Advantage of programming with variable values:

In this way, “Example orders“ can be programmed easily, of which only the values
have to changed at a later stage.
All part length and works are then being calculated with the
new values and the NC-program can then simply be generated newly.
(See also part The Job Variables)

Program Surface 37
2.5 Side View
This window always describes the profile in the view from the left and the actual
work.
Here, the positioning and processing (i.e. correct approach height) and the
parameter of the work can be easily controlled (i.e. correct depth, Correct diameter).
The usage in the window side view is similar as in the OpenGL- window,with the
difference that the profile can not be turned. Zoom and move is being controlled via
the mouse buttons.
To fit size to window, press spacebar.

2.6 Data input Window
All data (parameters) of the work are defined here.

All input values are immediately being actualized in the display.
Depending on which line is currently active in the tree view, in here the correct
window with the input fields (Fitting to „JOB”-Order data, “BAR” – Profile Data,
“CUT” part data and “WORK”- Work Data) appears.

3.1 Work Types

For each of the following work types a special input area with the relevant data
exists.
The general work data such as assembly side, fixed tool assignment, depth chart,
priority milling direction and broach is being addressed in the following chapter
(General / Work Data).
A local system of coordinates in which the negative Z-direction corresponds with the
penetration direction of the tool is always defined for all sides. Due to that the
position of the information of the X-position, Y-position and height exists in all works
(also see chapter 3.1.2 "Side Dialogue").
The according absolute-coordinates are displayed in the lower section of the input-
area.
In addition to the position all works have the information of the depth in common,
which is always declared positive as direction of penetration

3.1.1 Drilling
The drilling is the easiest of all operations. In addition to the information to the
position and depth it requires the diameter.

Note:
In the tool assignment function a driller or a miller can be assigned to the
drilling operation provided that for the drilling with miller is the activation in
the tool data base of "tool eligible for drilling"
In case the miller is smaller than the drilling, a circle pocket with the size of
the drilling is being milled.
Circle pockets are always proceeded with millers.

3.1.2 Circle Pocket

Regarding the information the counter sink corresponds with the drilling; except the
additional information about the sinking angle.
Only th circle pocket can be milled via a helical plunging.

Regarding the information the tapping corresponds with the drilling. If there is no tool
assigned,the automatic tool assignment searches for a tapping tool with matching
diameter in the data base.
Note:
Due to the various types of tapping (different pitch, core diameter…) and
different types of tapping tools (tapping drill, mill, combi-tapper…), the
tapping tool should always be assigned fixed.

3.1.7 Notch-out / sawing

Notch-outs are defined by two planes (the yellow and the green in the picture below).
Between these two planes is the sawing- edge with a start- and an end-point. The
position of the end-point is defined by a coordinate or by the direction of the sawing-
edge defined by two angles.
Changing the open side of the notch (top, front, bottom, back) is done by pressing
the button. By the switch left and right

you can choose the left (profile start) or the right (profile end) side.
To differentiate on which side of the plane the sawing-blade is moving, one side of
the plane is full color painted and one side is only painted with a wire frame. The full
painted side is where the saw moves (wastage side).The wire framed side is where
the material is trimmed (material side).

3.1.8 Free Milling

The definition of a free milling is always in one level. The level corresponds to the X/Y
plane of the selected side. Movements with a variable intrusion depth are not
possible. First the insert point of the milling is determined in the input area. The
insert point sets up the position of the milling on the profile and is not stringent the
intrusion point of the milling. The additional parameters are the depth,the width of the
mill and the priority.

3.1.11 Patterns
All work types can be converted into a pattern (duplicated).As well as a macro also
the pattern has an insert point which the position of the subordinated work is related
to. Work parameters such as number and area or distance for the run are defined in
the input area of the pattern. Unlike the copy and move command patterns allow the
use of variables. I.e. if the value of the variables changes, the position or the distance
of the repetitions.
To select a pattern for a work right click on an existing work and select "Put in a
Pattern":
In total there are 5 different types of processing lines:

Example:
You want to set holes into a work piece. Every 250mm you want your work piece to
get a hole. The first hole as well as the last hole shall have a distance of 100mm from
the beginning respective end of your work piece. To do so, define the first hole at
X=100mm. Than choose 'New pattern' in the context menu of the tree view and
choose in the input area Line (max distance). Then insert for 'Distance in X' 250mm
and for 'End Point in X' the variable for the Cut length minus 100 (please see chapter
Programming with variables). Every time the Cut length changes, the position and
number of the works change, too.

3.1.12 Macro header data

The insert point, the name with a short description and the macro variables are set in
the macro input-area. New works can be added or deleted in the tree view by
pasting or deleting. If a name has been given, it can be stored in the macro
database. If a macro with this name is already existing in the macro database, a
warning message will appear to prevent unintended overwriting. The X-positions of
all works which belong to a macro are related to the macro insert position. Macros
are related to a macro insert point. The works for a macro can be created before
creating the macro itself.
But at the same time it is possible to add to or remove from every existing macro a
work.

3.2.1 Side Dialogue

The intrusion direction of a work is determined by the side, which the work lies on
These sides correspond either one of the six standard sides (top, front, back, left,
right, button) or determined by the origin of the side and two angles of rotation. All
sides refer to the global coordinate system. Using side definitions instead of global
coordinates has the advantage that even a slanted work is determined only by the X
and Y coordinates. The Z coordinate is always the negative intrusion direction.
The global coordinate system, the exact definition of all standard sides and how to
define a free side is issue of the following chapter.

3.2.1.1 The global coordinate system

All absolute coordinates, side definitions and programs refer to the global
coordinate system.
The zero point (red point) lies on the left hand in the front under the profile.
The X coordinate corresponds to the direction of the profile on the plane and arrows
to the right side (red arrow).
The Y coordinate arrows to the back (green arrow).
The Z coordinate arrows to the top (blue arrow).
Global coordinate system:

Programs 85
3.2.1.2 Side Dialogue
After clicking on the button in the work-input-area, the side-input-area and

the side-list appear.
The six standard sides top,front, back, left, right and down are always being pre-
occupied with the according profile data below in the side-list. If a new free side is
defined, it appears after the next opening of the side-dialogue in the side-list as an
additional side with the information of the A- and C- axis angles. Additional to the
angles the position of the side can be set in the side input-area. In the 3-D-view the
side is always displayed to the profile in a yellow gleam plane with the side-
coordination.
The longer red coordinate-axis is the new X-axis. The new Y-axis is blue and is
embedded in the plane as does the X-axis.
The new Z-axis is also blue but points away from the level.
Dialogue for side settings:

3.2.1.3 Standard sides

The definition of the standard-sides is displayed in the following illustration and is
dependant on the measurements of the profile due to the different zero points. If the
measurements of the profile are being changed, the new zero points for the standard
sides are being calculated automatically.
Side top:
Side front:
Side back:

Side bottom:

Programs 89
3.2.1.4 Free sides

A free side (dialogue 'side' - 'more...') can be freely positioned by the information of
the A- and C-axis-angle. Orientation for the new free side is always the standard-
side above. With the slider for the A- and C-axis-angles the side can be tilted and
declined accordingly and the result hereof can be directly watched in the 3-D-
window.
With this direct control, common mistakes in sign of the A- and C-axis-angle and the
new coordinates of the new zero-point can be avoided. As an example a new free
side with the angles A = -45°and C = 45° is now being defined:
Start Side top:
Tilt by the X-Axis (A = -45°):

Turn by the Z-Axis (C = 45°):

Programs 91

After setting all the values, you can set the origin to work position, or pick a face from
the profile to adjust it to its angle.
The coordinates belong always to the center of working.

Programs 93
3.2.2 Fixed Tool Assignment
With the button in the work dialogue the automatic tool assignment can
be influenced and a tool can be assigned fixed. Next to the fixed assignment of a
specific tool there is also the possibility to only restrict the minimal and maximal
diameter and the minimal and maximal length of the tool. In addition the technology-
data such as speed, milling feed-rate and intrusion feed rate can be determined
fixed previously.

3.2.3 Depth Chart

With the depth table the works can be divided into several steps.
With this, very deep works which work through several materials can also be
exeCuted with tools with relatively short Cutting-length, as long as the blade is at
least as long as the deepest part-depth.
In addition, the processing time is being minimized due to the lower force on the tool
it can be worked with a higher feed-rate. In full-material, forces on the tools can be
clearly lowered due to many directly following processing-steps due to that some
works are only possible since otherwise the miller would grease because of a too-
low feed-rate.
Next to the manual input of the single depths there is the possibility after entering the
total-depth at full-material to divide this into equal directly conseCutive steps or for
profiles to automatically divide them according to the profile cross-section
The input-area which is displayed in the following illustration appears when pressing
in the work dialogue. In this example the depth chart for a profile has
automatically been calculated.
Example:In this example the depth chart for a profile has automatically been
calculated. The work is defined from side up and
was defined with a length of more than 55 mm. After the automatic calculation of the
depth chart the following result appears:
The first step in the depth-chart goes down to 29,9 mm and no material is ticked on.
This means that up to this depth, less a created safety-distance set in the program
options,the tool intrudes with a high feed-rate. Up to the second step the tool intrudes
with the feed-rate that was assigned in the tool database and is then exeCuting the
according milling-movement depending on the work and so on.
With the speed factor its possible to manipulate the speed with a factor that is
multiplied with the speed of the tool set in the tool data base.
If supported by the post processor and the target machine, after every
step you can determine a pause in seconds.
Also its possible to activate "lift up", so the tool will get back to start position after
every step, before executing the next.

3.2.4 Priority
The order of processing can be controlled by the priority.
The default priority is 0.This means the order of processing can be changed freely by
the algorithms for order optimization. Priority -1 means that this step has to follow
directly the step before. Processings with priority 1 up to 9 are grouped. That means
the processing starts with all works with priority 1, followed by the works with priority
2 and so on. Works with the same priority do not have a fixed processing order.
Processings with priority 0 are queued freely in between, before or after all other
steps.
Defining Priorities:
Note:
In repeating sequences the use of priority 1-9 instead of priority -1 is
recommended since otherwise the tools might be changed plenty of times.
The sequential priority -1 should only be used for works which may never be
divided.

proceeded clockwise or counter clockwise.
The default value is clockwise.( ).

The following sections is use macros and macro the different variants.

Macros 103
4.1 The Macro Database

Generally, macros are summaries of processes, commands or combinations of
both. Each macro has a clearly defined name and description. For a better
differentiation a macro can be assigned to an illustration. You can open it by easily
pressing

camQuix differentiates
between three different types of macros
Depending on the application or where the macros are saved camQuix differentiates
between three different types of macros. (Geometry macros), (Machine macros) and
(Post processor macros)

Macros 105
4.2 Geometry Macros

Geometry macros are groups of processes as defined in camQuix. The
denomination geometry macros stems from the fact that within camQuix processes
are solely defined through its geometrical data (type, measurement, position).
Geometry macros that are used within a program are always saved when saving the
file. Hence those can also be opened on other computers on which the same macro
database does not exist.
Note:
In principle and if possible only geometry macros should be used since only
when using them the programs remain independent from the machine.
Geometry macros do always have an insert point which the coordinates of the
contained works are related to.
If you change the X coordinates of the insert point, all contained works change in X.
In order to create a macro, program the preferred work first as usual. Then select in
the tree view the work which you want to use as insert point for the macro and click
with the right mouse button on it.

In the displayed context menu
select Put in a macro and the active work is moved automatically into a new macro.
Copy or move the remaining works into the new macro and select a recognizable
name Save the macro in the input area of the macro via
in the macro data base completed!

Macros 107
4.3 Machine Macros

Machine macros address the macros of the sub-programs of a machine. Only the
macro name and depending on the machine a certain amount of parameters are
assigned to the machine. The evoked line to the machine is generated by a special
sub-program within the post processor.
Note:
The application of machine macros has the effect that your program is
dependant on a specific machine. These programs are generally not
exeCutable on another machine as long as the identical macros are existent
there!

4.4 Post Processor Macros

Post processor macros address sub-programs in the post processor. In these sub-
programs special demands or demand-sequences of the machine (for example 1.
programme stop, 2.cabinet) can be called up. Post processor macros cannot be
entered into the macro database by the user. They are defined with the sub-
programs in the post processor for the respective machine. After the choice of the
targeted machine the sub-programs are readout there and listed in the macro
database as normal machine macros. Due to the fact that in the post processor an
individual sub-program for each post processor macro exists, these macros are
more flexible and can in principal control all possibilities you have by import a file on
a machine.
Note:
The application of machine macros has the effect that your program is
dependant on a specific machine. These programs are generally not
exeCutable on another machine or with another Post processor as long as
the identical sub-programs are existent in the post processor.

5 Programming with Variables

By using variables very flexible patterns can be created, which are defined by
parameters.

Programming with Variables 111
5.1 The Job Variables

Each Job has freely determinable variables which are entered here.10 are already
determined however the number is not restricted. These variables can be applied in
the entire order and all Bars below, parts, processes, row- and macro heads in the
yellow input fields.
A variable always consists of a freely determinable name, a numerical value and a
fixed internal name.
The freely determinable name can be changed at any time by the user.
It acts for a better differentiation of the variables. However it must only consist of the
letter a-z and A-Z and of the numbers 0-9 as well as the underscore_ All other signs
like special characters (+ - = # ä ö),
punctuation marks (,:!?...) or blanks are not allowed. This name can then be used in
the yellow input fields in the input area. As a numerical value for the variables all
integers as well as numbers with decimal places are allowed. This name can then be
used in the yellow input fields in the input area. As a numerical value for the variables
all integers as well as numbers with decimal places are allowed.
The internal names are Job.JVar[0] to Job.JVar[9].

These can also be used in the yellow input fields in the same way as the freely
determinable names.
The advantage is that the internal names don’t change and are always valid.
Attention:
The numeration of the internal names starts with 0 and not with 1!
It is only possible to add or delete variables in the last line of the chart.
List of Variables:

5.2 The Macro Variables

As with the orders each macro can own a variable. In difference to he order these
are only valid within a macro belonging to a
process or are valid for machines- or post processor-macro as parameter. For the
name, the numerical number and the adding and deleting of variables the same
applies as for the order variables. (order variables).
The internal names of the macro variables are Work.WVar[0], Work.WVar[1]…
Attention:
The numeration of the internal names starts with 0 and not with 1!
It is only possible to add or delete variables in the last line of the chart.

6 Tool Database
In the tool database all tools are managed, including their identifiers, descriptions,
dimensions, tool holder dimensions, valid sides and technology values.
Note: With the two buttons in the right upper corner you can store created tools in the
tool locker.
This might be useful, if you want to delete a position and create a new tool and
afterwards
you want to load an old one.
Each tool has a position in the machine stack (T-number), an identification number
and can have an optional description.
The ID number can exist only once. The number of the T-numbers is selectable in the
options.
There are following types of tools:

One up to three layer milling MILL, MILL2, MILL3
One up to three layer drillers DRILL, DRILL2, DRILL3
Counter sink SINK
Taps TAP
Saws and side milling
SAW
Cutters

7 Profile Database
In the profile data base which can be opened by profiles are managed by their
DXF name, a description, the cross sections, the allowed positions on the CNC
machining center,the saw and the offset.
With the import of these files the profiles saved in these files will be rotated/mirrored
automatically as well as activated and deactivated. Also the values for the support
and the cauls are entered. These values are valid always for the active target
machine and is saved for every target machine separately.

the following information :

Input field for the cauls in Y direction
Input field for the cauls in Y 2 direction
Input field for the support in Z direction
Input field for additional clamps

Rotate profile clockwise
Rotate profile counterclockwise
Mirror profile
In addition to the profile data base there is a spacer
data base (for the cauls).There in addition to certain
cauls blocks (for simulation and collision control)
also certain clamp parameter can be defined
(maximum distance, offset Y or Z, ...) With this button
you assign one or several special cauls to a profile
including the special defined parameters. If this
profile is used later for programming
these special parameters are used instead of the
original values.
Standard is the rotation of the profile (e.g. in case
works have been programmed from the profile
bottom) during the NC program by 180°.
Nevertheless, the same zero points and offsets as in
the original position are valid. If necessary multiple
zero points for the work of the profile can be
predefined.
(E.g. A zero point in the front with an Y-offset of

12.5mm, as second clamp position a zero point in
the back without offset but rotated by 90°).This is
helpful, if special clamp positions are necessary.

Here you can define a position in Y and Z where e.g.

the profile shall be contacted or where a gripper (U
axis) holds the profile and transports the machine.

evaluated
only in some cases by the post processor.

7.1 Offsets for Profiles

There are several possibilities to define the offset, but in the end, the value noted in
the Bar-Value-Field (for the program) is valid fo the current program...
Here are the rules
1. The definition in the profile-database is the base for
a. The definition in the new programs
b. Actualizing the value in the program – IF following the option is active:
In this case, the Y-Offset-Field for the program is grey/disabled!
2. If this option IS active, it’s normally not allowed any more to define the offset
manually, EXCEPT you want to detach the Offset-definition from the profile-DB just
for this program…
That means:
If you want to define the Offset ONLY over the profile-DB, just activate the option in

the IMPORT-tab ()
Else define the special offset in the program individually.

7.2 Spacer
Spacer can be found in the Profile Database (some Infos where given in the chapter
before).
If you leave the red marked fields blank, camquix will use the standard spacer.
In the Field below named "Clamp Description by Rectangle Blocks" you can add or
delete new blocks, name them, and after you marked one,
you can change the color, position and size. The values refer to the zero-point of the
profile. If you want to check your spacers,
you can switch to the machine overview by pressing the hook, then press F5, and
then okay.
Attention: The now defined blocks will be additionial to them set in settings->clamps!
When no Spacer is associated to a profile then it doesn't matter, but when it is

associated to "XYZ", then
the chosen PVC-Spacer in the options will be omitted and camquix will instead of
them use the spacers defined above!

8 Generating the Machine Program

When generating the machine program the tool are assigned automatically the
orders optimized and also the clamps are set. Afterwards via the post processor the
file for the machine can be generated.

Generating the Machine Program 139
8.1 Automatic Tool Assignment

After all processes have been set manually or by import, the NC-generator can be
started with F5 or
Following scheme comes up:
Automatic tool allocation:
In the top chart of the view all programmed processes (possibly with supplemented
with the automatically generated like saw Cuts) are listed, including following data:
Working type, position, working side, stipulated minimal Cut- / stretch length of tool
and possible manually assigned tools.
In the following columns the possible tools for the specific work are listed. As well as
the optimized allocations of the available tools.
In the bottom chart of the view all tools available on the actual machine are listed.

The line appears red colored, if no tool was allocated. This can be due to the
following reasons:
there is no tool with fitting diameter available.

all tools with fitting diameter are too short.
all dedicated tools are locked for processing on this specific side.
all dedicated tools are not suitable for processing the specific material.
If you double click on a red marked working an error log will appear and you can
see why there is no tool assignment!
Tool input area:

Note:
In addition to the possibility, that a specific tool type isn’t available, wrong
stretch length, wrong edge length or wrong diameter are the main reasons
for not finding a fitting tool.
Another reason could be, that processing sides are locked for specific
clamp locations for example in the case of double-clamping.S0 or F0 in
material technology field means this tool isn’t adapted for this material. Thus
steel- and aluminum-tools can be easily managed in parallel. For additional

functions regarding the tool database, please see chapter 7. By pressing

you enter the next list.
For additional functions regarding the tool database, please see (Tool data base).
By pressing you enter the next list.

8.2 Automatic Order Optimization and Clamp Setting

After the tool assignment (please see also chapter (automatic tool assignment) ) the
work order will be optimized automatically and the clamps will be set.
Clamp- and collisions-view:
In the tree view all works are listed in the order of NC-output. You have to step
through this order to check for collisions.
The works of the list can be set into a new order manually by drag and drop of the
different works in the list.

8.3 Running the Post Processor

By pressing the NC program is generated out of the clamp and collision view(
Automatic Order Optimization and clamp setting) The name of the machine file
depends on one of the fields in the order dialogue with an additional numbering
corresponding to the machine assembly.
If the option 'Time Calculation' is activated, after the post processor run the time
calculation is being displayed in the editor and can freely be changed and saved.

9.2 Paths & Organization

In the register Path & Organization the paths for the import file, the machine files
(post processor, macro data base and tool data base), the output path for the
machine, the path for the macro images and the machine type are defined.
Partly these files contain a major part of your work effort. Therefore you are
recommended to use a drive which is backed up regularly!
Import:
camQuix generates files (orders) with the .NCX extension and saves them
separately from the NC files ('File \ Save as')..This path is suggested for the
repeated opening of the files.
Technology:
Machine depending paths for the files which the active machine (control) needs.

Output:
Some machines need several files for a NC program in different directories. 4

different possible directories can be selected for saving a file.
These paths can be used also if a NC program is slitted for different machines (e.g.
sawing and milling). Storage path for graphic file for the actual order. The file is
generated via 'Start\ saves the view as image'.
Selection of the directories for the import of files and

profile data by direct input or via the file selection
window and its
respective file extension.
Selection of the directories for the post processor for
the machine and the saw (optional) and a
documentation (setup sheet), the tool file, the macro
data base and the tool data base of the machine (only
for special machine types) of the selected target
machine by direct input or via the file selection
window
If is selected, it will be checked if a
machine tool data base exists. If it does not, there
won't be added a tool for a work and an error
message is displayed. Additionally you can select the
format of the tool file.

Selection of the directories for the output of the NC

programs and the path for the output of the
screenshots of the 3D window ( in the menu
start>save view as image)
NC file will be overwritten if it has the same file name

without warning
Profiles will be imported via DXF
Displays macros only for the active profile lists
Allows repeated loading
When starting the program all macro data will be
loaded automatically
If the post processor assigns a NC number
automatically, this number is defined on the basis of
this value. Using different settings for several work
places different number ranges for the developer
can be determined.
A formula field, wherein you can determine the
compiling of the
Barcode for the single parts
(e.g. Job.JIdentNo.left(5) + Cut.CCom No)
These variables are issued in detail in chapter
'Post Processor'.
Selection of the machine type with the following
distinction:
- Single Bars: one sawed Cut per machine program
- Bar-pushing center: pushing center saws +
processes sequentially
- Complete Bars: Saw and machine a complete Bar
- Multiple Clamping
- Multiple clamping / Twin: multiple presawed Cuts in
two clamp areas

9.3 Optimization
In the Register Optimization all information for tool and order optimization for
standard machines and pushing centers is given.
Enter here the machine speed of the machine which then will
be used as basis for the time calculation and the optimization.
Enter here standard values for the (automatic tool assignment).

Please see also chapter Tool Database.
For pushing centers and machines that a standard value for off-
Cuts at the edges of the Bar and between the parts is defined.
Will distribute rest between parts up to entered value
Rest of the complete Bar at the start of the Bar

In general a circle pocket is being milled, not drilled. However a

lot of construction programs generate by default only circle
pockets (e.g. logiKal). To make the system still use a drill , this
point has to be activated. ( With that there is no more difference
between drilling and circle pocket).
When this point is activated, the system calculates the depth
table for all works automatically, after the tool has been
assigned. (Respective to the Cut depth entered in the tool data
menu).
Manually defined depth tables will always be overwritten.
In the tool list the user can assign priorities to some or all
works. When this point is activated, the system optimizes the
work order according to these priorities.
If you purchase this tool, you are able to use this option. It will
allow you to minimize the waste due to cuttings.

9.4 Clamp
In the register "Clamps" the clamps are defined and all parameters for automated
clamp setting are explained.
1) Minimum Distance between two clamps.
2) The distance between spindle and clamps (standard in X :

30mm , standard in YZ : 4mm )
3) Only for complete Bar processing: the minimum length from

which a waste piece has to be clamped
Maximal Distance:
(these values are not respected if they are set in way that no
valid clamping position would result. The smaller these values
are, the more changes will be made! )
1) The maximum profile length outside the first and the last
clamp.

2) The maximum profile length between two clamps
3) In which point the profile is clamped (the X-position of the

block on the left hand which fixes the profile)
1) The maximum work distance on the left hand from the first
and on the right hand of the last clamp.
2) The maximum distance of a work between two clamps from

both of them
3) In which point the profile is clamped (the X-position of the

block on the right hand which fixes the profile)
Clamp list. With clamps can be added and with they

can be deleted.
The Min-/, Max-/ and standard position of the clamps and a

possible correction value can be set for every clamp
separately.
1) With some machines only the starting and end position of the
clamps can be set.(Applies to machines that are operated
manually or pneumatically)
2) The left clamp position should be standard
3) If the machine supports rotation along the X axis, the function
can be displayed within the simulation (important only for
presentation)
4) Set a check mark if you want a special clamping position, in
order to stabilize the Bar during the work.
5) (similar to point a) Activate if only certain step positions are
allowed. In this case you may enter the number.
6) Only for complete Bars: Activate, if the edges of the profile
are outside the clamps (important for collision control !)
7) Only for work of multiple parts: set an additional free zone in
front of and behind a single part to avoid collision. (standard :
200)
8) Accuracy: 1° = Very accurate, but slow when it comes to a
high work volume, 45° very fast!

The single segments the clamp is made of are defined here as
rectangle blocks. With blocks can be added and with
they can be deleted.
In the block properties the block is defined by a name and a

color.
All other fields define the pposition and the dimension of the
blocks.
When working with movable parts within a unit, the usage of

formula is recommended (green fields), in order to display the
actual clamp situation and to be able to run the collision control
properly.
The zero point and the coordinates are defined as shown in the
graphic below.

9.5 Machine
In the register machine all additional machine bodies such as spindle, table,
headstocks and if existing different loading zones are defined.
Defines the spindle by two diameters.

The first one is located at the tool holder
and the second one right behind it.
Additional machine elements are defined

here. With top button elements can be
added to the list and be deleted with
lower button.

The element options are defined here.

There are two types of bodies: Base (not
movable bodies such as the machine
base) and headstocks (they move with
the machine head, but rotate only along
the C axis). A name and color can be
added to the elements for a better
distinction. For headstocks there has to
be defined the dimensions, the position
and the turn center. The definition of the
bodies is the same as for the clamps.
(please see chapter Clamp).
Here the collision bodies of the machine
are defined (similar to the blocks of the
clamps). The definition is limited to the
blocks, the description is made by an
absolute position and by fitting
dimensions.
If necessary additional offsets can be
defined. These are being taken into
consideration for the following program
situations:
1. for the first work (to make the robot
load the machine properly)
2. for the last work before and the first
work after "rotate profile 180°"
3. for the last work (to unload)
According to the definition of the post

processor the machine variables defined
there can be determined here.
They are used to render the post

processor flexible for the use with multiple
machines.

9.6 NC
In the register NC all parameters for the NC-generation are made.
Deletes all files of the NC path. Attention!

Creates sawing Cuts in the NC program at
the beginning and at the end of the part
Creates sawing Cuts in the NC program
for the notch-outs.
When activated the first cut is from above,
second from side.
For the work order: Select the order of the
sawing Cuts. From right to left or from left
to right?
Displays the calculated times after the NC
generation

For the output of multiple profiles: they can

be sorted by their ID number
Standard the optimization begins at the
starting point of the Bar. Sometimes it can
be necessary to start optimization at the
end.
The activated checkbox corrects by the
saw blade thickness for underCuts.
Special function for pushing centers with a
fix saw.
When the checkbox is activated the radius
correction is calculated by the machine and
not by the program. (If supported by the
post processor and the machine)
When a depth chart is created for works,
the checkbox is pre-activated (time
consuming but maybe necessary for
cooling the tool)
In the time calculation all times are being
listed separately (G0, G1, etc.)
As standard setting the sawing Cut is
processed always along the front edge of
the saw blade. In order to save production
time the Cut can be calculated also with
back side (if the saw blade thickness is
determined exactly)
Depends on the machine: for a value > 0,
at the program start the complete material
height is measured (e.g. every 250mm)
Definition of the security distances for the
roughing and the finishing Cut.
The movement towards the work piece

stops at a distance of (security distance) to
it and is processed deeper (the additional
depth corresponds to the amount in the
field 'Tailing'); as long as the contour will
not be damaged (e.g. blind hole).
The security distance (rough) is used when

wheeling around the profile.
Normally a smooth movements towards the
work piece and away from it are generated
to get a plane work area. In order to save
time, it also can be deactivated.
According to the machine it is

All works that are not processable in

standard position of the Bar are made
processable by rotating the work piece. I.e.
the machine stops, you turn the work piece
and then the other works will be made. In
the input field the order of the rotation
beginning from the original position can be
defined. Here you can test if all other works
are possible. The values stand for the
rotation (steps of 90° counter clockwise).
'213' means. Tests first with rotation of
180°, then 90° and then 270° (if supported
by the post processor).
For processing very short parts from the
side, it is not possible anymore to clamp
them with one or more clamps. With this
option for every side you can define a
manual rotation of the profile, so that the
work piece will be processed only from the
top.
Works of the standard-Profile-Situation is
at last
Depending on the machine: the highest
tool number (matches maybe to the tool
position) and in which dimension the parts
shall be pushed apart for the processing
along the sides..
Querrys the Toolfile before each
optimization
Normally tools are deactivated by setting
them to "T0" (i.e. no tool position, therefore
not ready). Activate the checkbox if you
may need tools which are not ready or if
such tools might be more suitable.

9.7 Import
In the register Import you can set the parameters for DXF file conversion.
Changes all files from the selected

directory if activated.
Profile position (rotation on the basis of

the DXF situation) and the position on
the machine (possible cauls or supports)
are determined in the profile data base.
Active option brings the imported
profiles into this position.

ATTENTION:When working with formula.

These will get lost when rotating the
profile (some variables, such as profile
width, height are not correct anymore.
Therefore a formula will be rendered
before the rotation and afterwards only
the result is being saved).
Therefore it makes sense for new

profiles to bring the DXF into the right
position and then to work without the
rotation in the profile data base.
Especially when working with macros,
where formula can be very important.
(Only for complete Bars) For some
machines it is helpful to position long
parts at the start of the Bar for a better
clamp situation.
In case of the option is activated, you
can choose if you want to order it by
descending length.
For miter Cuts notch-outs might be
calculated very tightly. This option
enlarges them if activated.
Free contours are converted into slots
per segment.
Only complete parts but no works of the
single parts are listed (for very large files
which shall only be converted)
Especially for the 3D import face colors
can also be imported (according to
standard table e.g. green for thread)
When importing some data formats such
as (Schüco, logiKal, .. ) the macro
structure is imported as well. In this case
the macros can be replaced with the
own macros automatically (in order to
automate regulary changes
Some data formats interpret all side
definitions as a free side (defined by
zero point and rotation). Some of these
side definitions can be converted again
into the standard sides (Top, Front,
Back, ...).
Divides the work depth into a fixed Cut
depth.
Restricts the maximum depth of pockets

Restricts the maximum depth of drilling

Restricts the minimum radius of
rectangle pockets
Defines the standard diameter of the mill
for free milling
This options divides oversized slots or
rectangular pockets into several small
ones. This option is made for machines
with a limited procedural area.
Creates automatically counter sinks for

all drilling with defined angle and depth.
At the import, threads get a

corresponding drilling, if one is
imported.
According to the table big drilling are
complemented by the corresponding
predrills. (Useful when working with
steel)
If necessary also cycles can be
complemented with drilling (in order to
keep service time for mills )
Selection of the file type of the imported

XML-file type (standard corresponds to
Schüco-XML : MCO or ENC)

9.8 Origins
In the register one or more Origins (zero points) of the machine are defined.
List of the machine zero points. With

upper button a new zero point can
be added to the list and with button
below it can be deleted.
You can add a name to the zero

points in order to distinct them
better
On which side of the profile is the

stop located?

Machine Position
This line will be send to the machine

at an active zero point. (If supported
by the post processor).
If a program is generated for every
zero point, a an extension can be
added to the file name or if this
name begins with "/" a separate
directory can be created and the
program can be saved there.
Selection of the sides which cannot
be worked due to the actual clamp
position. At a parallel clamping for
example the back side of the profile
in the front and the front side of the
profile in the back could not be
processed.
