Griffo Brothers has expanded its Camlink GB\DataEntry software for offline Mazak Mazatrol programming with an added Solids Toolpath Check feature. GB\DataEntry enables users to keep machines in production mode full time, program offline on a PC and boost machine shop productivity. Solids Toolpath verification adds further functionality to the software, providing the ability to visualize a toolpath in 3D with transparency and image rotation capabilities using the same screen as the Mazatrol program; modify the sequence of processes using Priority Numbering in Program Layout; and superimpose a 3D STL Model with Shape check for instant comparison.
