• On the home screen, click "CNC" > "CNC machining":
  • Select a system:
  • The machining window opens:
  • In the upper left section, the available machining is listed.
  • On the right side, enter the data for a machining.
  • The lower section contains the preview area:
    • On the left, the profile cross-section with reference points is displayed.
    • On the right, the configuration of machining on the bar is displayed.

Add machining

  • Click "Add":
  • Under "Name", enter the machining name.

  • Under "Group type", select a machining type:
    • Door hardware
    • Window hardware
    • Corner connector
    • T-Connector
    • Pressure plate sequential
    • Profile interconnection sequential
    • Drainage/Ventilation
    • Free group
    • End machining
    • L/S/Dr passage
    • Curtain wall bottom point
    • T-connector slant
    • Corner connector slant
    • Glazing slot
    • Hinge
    • Striking plate
    • Additional striking plate
    • Striking plate for interlock
  • Select "Additional machining" to manually import the machining onto a bar in the input of elements.
  • Select "Don't update" to prevent overwriting a system machining during a database update.
  • Under "Info 1" and "Info 2", enter brief descriptions for the machining.
  • Under "Reference profile", select a profile to use its contour as a basis for machining.

  • Under "Face", select the face from which machining is performed.

  • Rotate the profile face to ensure that the tool approaches from the right. If machining needs to occur on the left, rotate the profile accordingly.

  • Under "Reference face", select a face to create machining that can be mirrored (e.g., for left and right doors).
    The table below shows how to set reference faces for automatic mirroring:

Machining type Meaning of "Reference face"
Corner connector
  • Outer face of profiles
T-Connector
  • For continuous profiles: Face of the adjacent profile
  • For adjacent profiles:
    • Not relevant for symmetrical profiles
    • For asymmetrical profiles: Reference face is the face with the larger leg (difference between inside/outside view)
Drainage
  • Upper profile face
Window hardware
  • Frame and, if necessary, frame insertion: Face to sash
  • Sash and, if necessary, sash insertion: Face to frame
Door hardware
  • Frame and, if necessary, frame insertion: Face to sash
  • Leaf and, if necessary, leaf insertion: Face to frame
Door centre hardware
  • Leaf to centre
  • Meeting stile to centre, not towards the sash with the stile profile

  • Select "Mirrored (inside/outside)" to apply machining to mirrored profiles.

  • Select "Perform only from top" to perform machining exclusively from above, preventing the use of the machine's angular head.
  • Select "Perform only after stop" to perform machining only after a stop.
  • Use the numbered tabs "1" to "10" to create separate machining. Define the machining sequence using "Priority" and "Group" options:
  • Under "Type", select a machining type:
    • Drilling
    • Circle pocket
    • Slot
    • Rectangle pocket
    • Tap
    • Notch
    • T-Notch
    • Screw
    • Rivet nut
    • RC standard
    • RC Kaba inside
    • RC Kaba outside
    • Countersink
    • Cyl PVC escutcheon plate
    • Cyl Round escutcheon plate
    • Handle hole
    • Stell screwing
    • Flow drill
    • Dovetail
    • Round
    • Section plane
  • Select the "Milling type" to define whether machining is based on the broach or if the cutter follows the contour.
  • Under "Reference Y" and "Reference Z", define the positioning of machining using the profile's reference points. This allows machining for different profiles.
  • Under "Delta X", enter the offset for the machining to the insertion point according to these rules:
    • Vertical profiles: "+" moves upwards
    • Horizontal profiles (without insertion reference): "+" moves to the right
    • Horizontal profiles (with insertion reference): "+" moves towards the handle side
  • Enter "Position Y" considering "Reference Y".
  • Under "Diameter", enter the diameter for circle pockets and drilling.
  • Under "Drilling tap", enter the tap diameter.
  • Select "As flow drill" to use the tap diameter for a flow drill.
  • Under "Length", enter the length for rectangle pockets and slots.
  • Under "Width", enter the width for rectangle pockets and slots.
  • Under "Corner radius", enter the corner radius for rectangle pockets.
  • Under "Tilt angle", enter the machining rotation for rectangle pockets and slots.
  • Select "Automatic depth detection" to prevent collisions.
  • Under "Machining to", enter the respective value for depth detection.

  • Under "1st, 2nd, 3rd machining from (Z)", enter the start of machining. The tool is brought to the defined position (minus the security distance) in fast forward.
  • Under "Machining depth", enter the machining depth. Set security distance and additional machining depth (post intrusion) centrally in the CNC company standard.
  • Select "Machining without automatic post intrusion" to prevent post intrusion.
  • Select "Machining without automatic enlargement" to prevent the automatic enlargement defined in the CNC company standard.
  • Select "With countersinking" to include countersinking.

  • Select "Perform only if tool is allocated here" if necessary.

  • Click the field below to select the machine and tool from the list.
