It works for us.
Programming an Integrex is not a spectator sport. I doubt any CAM system can come anywhere close to "click somewhere on the model and watch the program happen." If someone CAN show you that, I guarantee that they are not accessing much of the machine's capability.
I can assure you that there has been a huge amount of development in the post that In-House can offer.
Welcome to multi world, it's a lot of work. Don't expect the work that others have done before you to be free to you.
Having said that, here's some free advice: For turning on the new Integrex with B axis at angles other than zero and 90 degrees, use the B axis value on the tool data page to get B axis positioning during the tool change rather than long code from the CAM system. The Pro control is much better at this than the original 640 Fusion.

I tried re partitioning the CAP on an 11M on a Toyoda. It completely gutted the control me, and when the control guys put it back together they put CAP back in so I never learned if it would achive the goal of getting more usable memory.
Be prepared to start over with a totally stupid control if you try it.
You're a mind reader Tim. I have been planning to call you this morning with that very question. Ain't no way I'm buying a wire that I have to develop a post for
Good morning guys.
I didn't see any mention of Fanuc in this thread. I don't know beans about EDM. I'm being sent to look at a 1iC-S/AWF-12 next week. They are claiming .00000004" command resolution. We need a wire to burn some features but we need a Haas precision level not a jig grinder level.
Auto thread reliability will be a huge issue, one part has 117 slots through a 1/2 inch plate. Total linear cutting for both sides of slots looks like around 300 - 400 inches. Can this be expected to reliably run lights out?
Good morning all.
I did a search on Video and decided to bump this thread.
I'm getting BSOD on a parts system:
Win 2K pro
ASUS A7N8X2.0
AMD 3200+ Socket A
1 total Gig dual channel
FX5200 video
I did a fresh install of Nvidia system drivers and have been checking daily to see if some network driven update was altering them. This morning they did not seem to have been changed.
The IT guy hates this thing because it's not a Dell. Is there a likely video upgrade to something like a Quadro that makes sense to do that will be cost effective and play well with MC9, Solidworks and X?
I'd cut off the steel bar before buying a carbide one, but if this job will run a while or be back often, go carbide.
Is the insert pocket screwed up? It doesn't take much deformation from a previous crash to eliminate insert support. This will cause chatter in cases where there should be none. If the pocket is deformed, some careful peening of the pocket edge can help till you replace the bar.
Harryman shakes the Magic 8 Ball and says:
15,000 rpm @ .0003" per tooth = 9"/min
10" of total depth per drill end = 10/.03 = 333 holes.
Center drill will debur entrance side nicely and will form little volcano bur before it breaks.
T32 compatible A, seems to be the best G code series to use on the Integrexes without sub turret.
Can't help with the sub turret thing.
Good luck with installing 8 of those hummers.
I think the litmus test for using WCS is:
If you use a machine axis to get to a feature, do not use WCS use Cplane and Tplane.
If you fixture a part to align it with a machine axis use WCS.
