… more about the Editor

FILOU-MX is a CNC-Backplot-Editor with a modular toolbox containing lots of tools for CNC Experts.

With the powerful CNC editor, a CNC Profi can edit, optimize, verify, export, analyze and transmit his CNC programs to the machine.

… more about the CNC Backplot

FILOU-MX can handle nearly unlimited filesizes. The Limits are set by the resources. The CNC-Backplot-Editor can open multiple files at a time with the ability to cut, copy, and paste between them.

In every Backplot you can zoom, turn, etc. (on the left picture 4 CNC programs).

… more about the animation

In the CNC Backplot the 3D-Display of toolpaths can be, turned, zoomed or moved.

Display CNC Programs as movementlines graphicaly on your Display. Thats why the Backplot is called Viewer in FILOU-MX. In the Animation the CNC toolpaths are displayed sentence by sentence. The editor and animation can be kept in sync.

In the Analyse FILOU-MX produces a Report of the NC-code. It shows the runtime in whole or per tool, the Extension of the toolpath, the max. feedrate and much more. For every program additional data can be added: Rawmaterial, customer, machine, etc.

… more about Export

G-Code, HPGL, etc. can be exportet into other formats. Depending on the format there are different possible Setup Options.

On the left an exaple for export to HPGL.

Supported formats are:
G-Code (z.B. Sinumerik, Fanuc, DIN, ISO, etc.)
Heidenhain Klartext
ISEL NCP
DXF
HPGL

Transfer to the machine

Machines that have an RS232 (V24)/COM Interface for datatransfer, can receive the data directly from FILOU-MX.

The bidirectional datatransfer is not dependent on the controll.

Interface
A Connection to other programs is possible.

System-Requirments
Windows XP | VISTA | 7 | 8 | 10
For the Backplot OPEN-GL Support is needed.

CNC-Editor

• All standard functions of an editor
• Special CNC functions
• Customizable line/block numbering and renumbering
• Column editing
• Dynamic 3D backplot drawing of toolpaths in the Viewer
• Opening of several arbitrary large data files at the same time
• Direct connection between the editor and viewer. A marked phrase in the editor is marked in the viewer.
• The editor can be splitted

Viewer (Backplot)

• All CNC toolpaths have their own layer
• Tools are displayed in different colours
• Optional view of the program origin
• Delineation of the used workspace
• Automatic level identification (G17, G18, G19)
• Layer management
• Fastfeed on/off
• Incorrect tool moves or errors in fastfeed can be identified at once
• Direct connection between the CNC-editor and backplot. With clicking on a toolpath in the backplot the corresponding phrase line in the CNC editor is marked. Vice versa a marked phrase in the CNC editor is marked coloured in the backplot.
