FMC-Edit by neoapps is a great visualization tool for the machine data in woodworking. Moreover it is a powerful tool for planning, as machine data (e.g. from the CAD) can be edited, adapted to specific machines (e.g. dead stop/catch or tolerance situation) and divided between different production facilities.

Visualization of machine programs for wood-processing centers is especially important for the purpose of visual inspection. With FMC-Edit we have managed to develop a visualization tool, which supports both the pure trivial visualization of FMC-data (format of the company IMA) and the complex subroutine of CAM Wood.



Furthermore, it is possible to edit the data in terms of their dead stop/catch and their division between different processing centers. All in all a machine independence is achieved, as data can be exported into different formats of other manufacturers.

With FMC-Edit, it is possible to load and edit FMC programs. In particular the Include-technology is supported. By setting up various production sites FMC programs can be represented in combination with Include-blocks of these manufacturing facilities.

Properties of FMC-Edit:

• MDI (Multiple Document Interface) application. Multiple FMC programs can be loaded into a program window
• Manufacturing sites are adjustable per FMC program
  
• presentation of the full FMC program as a tree
  
• presentation of the full FMC program as a graphic
  
• Symbols, which are selected in the tree, are highlighted in the graphic.
  
• optimal zoom functionality
  
• optimal pan functionality
  
• Resolution of the graphic on 1 / 10 mm
  
• Displaying the work coordinates in the graphic
  
• Displaying the cursor coordinates
  
• Inserting stages of production (right mouse click)
  
• Dividing FMC programs between multiple programs for different production sites
  
• Export of the FMC program, i.e. Dissolving the Includeblocks to get a "native" FMC program without Includes
  
• Printing and print preview of the current view of the graphics (WYSIWYG)
  
• Editing the include symbols or VARDEF icons (right mouse click)
  
• drag'n'drop to move symbol sequences within a program
  
• mirrors of all shapes and features
  
• zero shift (transformation) for machine-dependant processing
  
• Definition of zero points in conjunction with considerations of the tolerances
  
• Program creation through dialogue-based icons

With FMC-View, it is possible to load and inspect FMC programs. This is a very simplified version of the FMC-Edit without any possibility of making changes to FMC-programs.



In particular, the storing of FMC programs and splitting them between different production sites cannot be activated. Also, the production facilities cannot be adjusted, i.e. a generic manufacturing facility "General" is used, which is included with the purchase.
