If your a shop that has a variety of CNC machines operating using a variety of different CNC controls, exploring CNC XChange software is definitely for your benefit. The purpose for CNC XChange is simple:

Convert existing CNC programs written for one control and language to operate on another control using a different language.

"Different language" can be described as anything from subtle differences ( different M Codes, different Canned Cycle commands, etc. ) to major differences ( conversational language to G Code language, G Code incompatibility, etc. ). In any case, CNC XChange can save your shop hundreds of manual conversion hours and allow your personnel to convert existing CNC programs in seconds or minutes, with little or no effort, to operate on your NEW CNC or on your other shop equipment. CNC XChange is far superior to any CAD/CAM's post processor because we do not require the original CAD or CAM file to create the new program.
