Key Capabilities & Enhancements in Numroto 5.2

Numroto 5.2 enhances its powerful core with new features focused on flexibility, precision, and user efficiency.

1. Advanced Tool Grinding & Resharpening

Specialized workflows for the manufacturing and maintenance of cutting tools.

  • Multi-Axis Tool Grinding: Program complex geometries for end mills, drills, reamers, and special form tools using intuitive graphical wizards.

  • Precision Flute & Helix Machining: Easily define and simulate helical flutes, grooves, and reliefs with exact control over pitch, profile, and orientation.

  • Automatic Relief Grinding: Generate secondary and tertiary relief angles automatically, ensuring optimal tool performance and longevity.

2. Powerful 4 & 5-Axis Rotary Machining

Unlock the full potential of your multi-axis CNC mills and grinding machines.

  • Synchronized Axes Control: Seamlessly manage the interplay between linear axes (X, Y, Z) and rotary axes (A, B, C) for smooth, gouge-free tool paths.

  • Simultaneous 5-Axis Simulation: A robust and accurate 3D simulator visualizes the entire machining process, including the machine kinematics, to detect collisions and verify program integrity before it reaches the shop floor.

  • Post-Processor Library: A wide range of supported post-processors for major CNC controller brands (Siemens, Heidenhain, Fanuc, etc.) ensures ready-to-use G-code output.

3. Intuitive Geometry Definition & CAD Integration

Create complex models faster and with fewer errors.

  • Graphical Profile Editor: Visually define and modify cross-sectional tool profiles with high precision.

  • Enhanced CAD Data Import: Import standard file formats (like IGES, STEP, DXF) to use existing CAD models as a foundation for your tool paths, streamlining the transition from design to manufacturing.

  • Parametric Design: Use formulas and parameters to create flexible, easily adaptable designs, perfect for manufacturing families of similar tools.

4. Specialized Applications & Flexibility

Numroto 5.2 excels in niche but critical manufacturing areas.
