Serving the South African Manufacturing industry
SDComms wireless CNC communication software for Windows
SDComms is software for CNC communication that runs under the Windows
operating system. These communication products have been developed and
supported by Software Development (Pty) Ltd for over 20 years with hundreds of
installations in South Africa.

* Formatting master CNC files to a different CNC formats.
* G-code graphic simulator for both milling and turning.
* Auto check G-code programs has the correct program format.
* View your milling programs graphics in different views ex. XY, ZX, ZY, XYZ.
* Simulate CNC program in single block, continous or turbo mode.
* Zoom in and zoom out for better viewing.
* Get rapid and feed distances information.
GEOMETRY AND G-CODE GENERATION ( SDComms add-on option )
This module consists of a simple, parametric alphanumeric language designed for
programming numerically controlled machining centres and lathes.
The utility is ideal for creating master programs of family components. Once a master program
has been created any family component of the same type can be easily created simply by
changing a few parameters.
The program allows the operator to enter data in the form of statements with several levels of
sophistication:-
by entering unformatted machine G-Code blocks directly
by defining geometrical elements such as points and sets of points for direct use in the G-
Code block generation phase
by defining geometrical elements such as origins, lines and circles.
These lines and circles may then be combined to produce a profile for offset computation and
tool path generation. The coordinates generated may then be transformed in to machine
blocks after visual check on the display screen. Data can be entered interactively or as a
batch file.
The system does not require Post-Processors: machine blocks are automatically formatted
according to parameters stored by a service program.
The system allows contouring in any of the three planes and this coupled with the looping
facility allows the generation of quite complex machining operations.
Features:-
* Geometry definition - Points, Lines, Circles, Set of points and profiles.
* Geometry is parametrically changable.
* Drilling cycles on different types of point sets - ex. pcd's, matrix of points etc.
* G-Code generation for Milling and Turning.
* Countour milling / turning.
* Pocket milling.
* Rough turning.
* Pocket turning.
* Groove turning.
* Thread turning.
