Graphical Drill/Route System 7 is a unique combination of modern
computer hardware and software used to control printed circuit board drills
and routers.No modifications are
required to the machine. You simply plug the computer into the machines’
paper tape or serial data connector.However,
once the computer is connected, both the machine and the operator become
significantly more productive.
The major advantages of connecting a
computer to a machine come from combining (1) computer graphics, (2) local
area networks, and (3) data compression.Computer graphics are used to draw a picture of the panel being
manufactured. The machine can then be controlled directly from the computer
screen.A local area network
links all machines to a central file server. Data compression allows
thousands of jobs to be stored on an inexpensive hard disk drive. Modern,
high speed, computers enable instant access to any job and automatic backup
of all your production data.
Partial List Of Key
Features
Graphically displays
drilling and routing programs.
Locate any
hole instantly by simply
"clicking" with a mouse.
Drill all
holes from the graphic display.
Drill only
selected holes
Drill all
except selected holes
Pick-up
broken bits - fast!
Provides both offset
and scaling for rigid and flex circuits.
Select
groups of holes and apply offsets to
compensate for distortion in flex circuits.
Handles
special tools including slot drills and
scoring router bits.
You can create
up to 40 different tool tableswhich
are stored on the drill room file server.
Selected
tool table can be automatically linked to each
drilling program .
Machines
produced by different manufacturers can work
from the same drilling program
All
production files can be kept togetherincluding
drilling, routing, and even Gerber files.
Notes and
special instructionscan be kept with every
job.
No
modifications required for your machines.
Nothing
else to buy from the machine manufacturer.
Requires minimal
operator training because it works the way
they think.
Password
protection can prevent unskilled operators
from making changes
.
Compatible
with most other software from different
vendors.

For Better Examples of Graphical Display of Drilling Programs
Improved Scaling (Correct
hole registration after lamination)
Scale the
program directly on the computer screen. You can then “click’ on any
hole to verify its' new location.If
necessary, you can scale it again and check the results on the computer -
before drilling!
Group Offsets(Select/Move
groups of holes - Great for flexible circuits)
Use the
mouse to put a window around a group of holes. Then move only those holes a
precise amount in both the X and Y axis. If necessary, select another
window and move it also. This is particularly useful when you have
many small parts on a large panel and need to correct the registration of
some without effecting the others.
Find and Eliminate Double Hits
Graphic
display can highlight all double drilled holes.If you wish, the computer will then
automatically eliminate double drilling when the job is run.This can include holes that are
double drilled with different diameter drill bits.
Handles Special Tools Including Slot
Drills and Scoring Router Bits
System now
includes special cutting tools not provided for in older Excellon and
TruDrill software.
Printed Reports
Printed reports can be generated on a
network printer showing the Customer, Part Number, Tool Sizes, and other important production
information.Report contents
and format can be customized.
Configuration Options
System
configuration can be set to include/exclude many features such as Editing,
Scaling, Graphic Display, Tool Tables, Automatic Backup, Operator I.D.,
Exit to DOS, Screen Blanking, Password Protection, DNC protocol., and more.
