ADVCON; advance control 93 APT postprocessor. [CDC CYBER174,175; FORTRAN IV]

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:6531732
ADVCON is a numerical control postprocessor to support the Advance Control 93 R/D CNC routing/drilling machine. The postprocessor converts APT CL tape information produced by the APT processor into machine tool instructions so that the machine control unit can place a tool on a part to develop the desired geometric configuration. The postprocessor is concerned with machine tool geometry and dynamics as well as the control unit options and input characteristics. ADVCON produces punched cards or mylar tape containing the coded instructions to accomplish the desired result, i.e., movement of the machine tool.CDC CYBER174,175; FORTRAN IV; SCOPE 3.3; 54,000 (octal) words of memory are required for ADVCON, including section 0 and section 4 of APT..
