WinMax Guide for Ultimax Users 704-0001-828-DRAFT 7 About this Guide — 1

ABOUT THIS GUIDEWinMax control software will be familiar to users of Ultimax, but contains several new features as well. This guide is intended for users of Ultimax who are transitioning to WinMax. It provides details about the new features of WinMax, which include:

• Advanced Verification Graphics—Solid 3D Rendering with dynamic rotation significantly reduces scrap and programming time. View rendered part from any angle without the need to redraw it.

• Tool & Material Library—Tool and stock data are stored with the machine, not each individual part program. Eliminates redundancy. Saves time. Simplifies programming. Prevents common tool crash conditions.

• NC/Conversational Merge—Combines the best of both programming methods. Existing G-Code programs can be incorporated into current conversational features, such as tool probing, part probing, pattern operations, and scaling. Conversational users can call an NC program by using a simple calling sequence (NC Macro).

WINMAX SYSTEM BASICSUsers familiar with Ultimax will recognize many of the screens in WinMax; many screens contain the same information as Ultimax but the fields occupy a different location on the screen.

WinMax Interface EnvironmentThere are three ways to navigate and enter data for programming:

• Ultimax classic edit mode—use the console keys; for example, the arrow keys for navigation and the enter key to accept data typed into a field

• Touchscreen—use the stylus or other pointing device to select softkeys and drop-down lists for data entry and programming

• Keyboard—use the function (F1-F12) keys and other keyboard shortcuts for navigation and to call up screens

SoftkeysSoftkeys appear as buttons on the screen; their default location is the right side of the screen, but they can also be positioned on the left by changing the setting in User Preferences (see the “Utilities” section for more information). Select a softkey using one of these methods:

• On the screen, touch the softkey

• On the console, simultaneously press the F key and the number that corresponds to the softkey (for example, F + 1 will select the F1 softkey). For dual-console machines, ALT + the softkey number will select softkeys on the graphics screen.

• On the keyboard (if using), press the corresponding function key (F1, F2, F3, etc).

Drop-down ListsMany fields contain a choice of items that are viewed by pulling down a list:

Figure 1. Example of a drop-down list

Tool SelectionIn WinMax, tools are added to part programs in two ways:

• Tool Number

• Select Tool from List

If the optional Tool & Material Library is in use, tool information is imported into the library when a program is initially opened in WinMax, and these imported tools are available to use in other part programs. See the “Tool and Material Library” section for more information. If the Tool & Material Library option is not used, the available tools are those that have been created in Tool Setup for the specific part program.

Tool NumberUse the TOOL NUMBER field to select a tool (one created in Tool Setup or from the Tool & Material Library, if that option is in use). Enter the tool number or the first digit of a numbered tool type group in the TOOl NUMBER field on the Tool Setup screen, as shown below:

Figure 14. Tool Number field in Tool Setup

Enter the first digit of a tool number in the TOOL NUMBER field and a list of all tools that begin with that digit appears. For example, entering a “1” will call up all tools numbered 100-199.

NC/Conversational MergeWinMax allows you to execute an ISNC G-code (NC) program from within a Conversational part program with NC/Conversational merge. G-code programs can be used and re-used within the Conversational program.

To invoke a G-Code program from within a Conversational part program, the program must be loaded in Program Manager. The first line of NC code following the percent (%) sign must contain the program number preceded by the letter “O” (not a zero) or a colon (:); for example, O1234 or :1234. There cannot be any other information on this line and “O” or “:” must be the first character. The program must end with an M99 to allow other Conversational program operations after the NC program is complete, as in the following program (O number and M99 are bolded for emphasis):

ARG TYPE STRING accommodates a small number of variables, while ARG TYPE LIST accommodates a larger number of variables. See the NC Programming Manual and the NC Productivity Package (NCPP) Option Manual for more information about variables and arguments.


Swept SurfaceThe Swept Surface option in WinMax is based on 3-D Mold technology from Ultimax. It allows you to program draft angles for pocket or island walls with greater flexibility, including Spiral, Constant Z level, and Cusp Height cutting strategies.

Figure 26. Swept Surface Programming example


Program ParametersProgram parameters in WinMax are displayed on tabs for General 1, General 2, Milling 1, Milling 2, Holes, Probing, and Performance. The Performance tab in WinMax is active when the SelectSurface Finish Quality option is enabled. The programmer has the option to make changes to any or all of the program parameters and save them as user defaults. The user defaults and original WinMax defaults can be restored by using the appropriate softkey.

Figure 27. Program Parameters: Probing screen

Softkeys are:

• SAVE AS USER DEFAULTS F4—saves the selected field’s value as the user-defined default value

• RESTORE USER DEFAULTS F5—restores the user-defined values to a field that has been populated with other values

• RESTORE WINMAX DEFAULTS F6—restores the WinMax-defined values to a field that has been populated with other values

Probing ParametersProbing Parameters are new in WinMax, and include the following:

• AUTOMATIC TOOL MONITORING—indicate if tools that were calibrated with the probe should be automatically checked with each tool change

• ZERO CAL (LENGTH) TOLERANCE—the zero calibration (tool length) used when checking for a defective tool

• DIAMETER TOLERANCE—the diameter tolerance used when checking for a defective tool

Change Parameters program blocks load the user-defined parameters set in Program Parameters.


SelectSurface Finish QualitySurface Finish Quality (SFQ) is enabled with the SelectSurface Finish Quality option. SFQ parameters can be modified in either Conversational or NC programming. The default SFQ for roughing is 80 and finishing is 20. Recommended SFQ values are:

Table 1. Recommended SFQ values

SFQ in Conversational ProgrammingThere are three ways to adjust the SFQ in Conversational Programming:

• Program Parameters screen

• Individual data blocks

• Change Parameters block

Changing SFQ in Program ParametersYou can set the SFQ for all roughing and finishing tools until a Change Parameters block is specified or SFQ values are specified within the data block.

1. In Input mode, select the PROGRAM PARAMETERS F4 softkey.

Figure 28. Performance Tab in Program Parameters Screen

SFQ Desired Result

1-20 High precision parts /finishing

21-79 Good surface quality / finishing, semi-finishing

80-100 High throughput / roughing

If SelectSurface Finish Quality is not enabled, conversational roughing tools use SFQ of 80 and conversational finishing tools use SFQ of 20; NC default is 50.


2. Select the PERFORMANCE tab.

3. Enter a number in the field.

This adjusts SFQ for the entire program, unless changes are made to individual data blocks. If SelectSurface Finish Quality is not enabled, the values are set to 80 for roughing and 20 for finishing.

Changing SFQ in Individual Data BlocksSFQ can also be changed for individual Milling, Special, and Rotary blocks, using the SFQ tab in these data blocks. Values set on this tab override the values set in the Program Parameters screen.

Figure 29. Selecting SFQ in Data Block

Changing SFQ with Change Parameters BlockA Change Parameter block can also be used to specify SFQ within a part program. In a new block, select the Miscellaneous softkey, then the Change Parameters softkey, and click the Performance tab to adjust the Rough and Finish SFQ. This will change SFQ for any new block that follows.

Block Editor Modify SFQ allows changing of SFQ in multiple existing blocks.


SFQ in NC ProgrammingSFQ can be adjusted in NC programming with the SelectSurface Finish Quality option. There are three ways to adjust SFQ in NC Programming:

• global program parameter (default)

• G5.3 P NC command

• individual tools

Global Program ParametersThe SFQ value is set in Program Parameters. This value will apply to the entire program unless the G5.3P command is used or the SFQ value is set for a specific tool.

G5.3P NC CommandThe SFQ parameter can be changed at any time during the program by a G5.3P command. The first G5.3P command in the program overrides the program parameter values.

Individual ToolAn SFQ value can be automatically applied to a specific tool when a tool change occurs. On the NC SFQ tab in the Advanced Tool Settings screen, change ENABLE TOOL SFQ to YES and enter a number in the field. This will set the SFQ value whenever the tool is used.

Figure 30. NC SFQ settings in Advanced Tool Settings
