Calypso Ventures Releases MachStdMill v2.3.x
The MachStdMill 2.3.x releases replace the earlier 2.x.x series. This release series contains multiple bug fixes and additional support for OEM installations.
Calypso Ventures Launches MachStdMill v2.0
We are pleased to announce that the latest MSM release extends MSM to provide support for CNC Lathes. MSM now includes a new GUI for operating Mach in lathe mode. This continues MSM's "best of breed" tradition and makes MSM the only Mach3 enhancement package to fully support both Mill and Lathe operations.
The 2.0 release adds significant new features, expands the prior functionality set.
MSM supports all of Mach3’s stock functionality and includes the following major new features with version 2.0:
- Lathe operation support (including a complete new Lathe GUI)
The MSM Professional Edition provides advanced functionality implemented in MachStdMill. For version 2.0 major enhancements include:
- The new Mill-Turn package. This allows the running of lathe G-Code on a vertical mill. The Mill-Turn module uses a superset of the 2 axis lathe GUI in the Personal Edition. MSM takes care of handling “Y offsets” during tool changes so that Lathe G-Code can run unmodified. For many turning operations, this module allows a MSM user to avoid the need for a CNC lathe.
- MSM’s leading probing package has been extended to work in lathe mode and provides probe operations for Mill-Turn tool and fixture set up.
Other popular features of MSM Professional include:
- Automated TLO measurements for tool changes
- The most extensive probe tool support available for Mach3, with built in operations for 3 and 4 axis setups.
- Advanced tool handling support including Master Tool Mode.
- Support for saving & recalling WCO and Tool Tables to/from disk.
The MSM user documentation has been enhanced with the 2.0 release; In addition to the extensive MSM Mill user manual (approximately 300 pages), there is also a new Lathe manual which covers Turn and Mill-Turn operation with MSM. In addition, there are multiple videos which demonstrate many of the key MSM Mill and Lathe features.
