Using a Microturn without VR Turning

[gyachts]

Is it possible to download programs generated from Mastercam straight into the Microturn Lathe without using VR Turn on a machine?

What is the format of the program and commands going to the lathe?

No VR Turning has to be used.

This software runs the communication with the machine and also downloads firmware at power on.

The software also controls tool offsets and machine setup.


Master CAM will produce programs that can be opened directly in the VR editor window
