• CAD/CAM Software

Chroma Systems is proud to announce the launch of a kit to upgrade your manual machines to CNC, to get impressive machining power, repeatability and convenience.

With this kit installed, you'll be able to machine complex shapes that would otherwise be impossible and you'll be able to machine complex shapes that would otherwise be impossible and you'll be able to repeat the process achieving perfect duplicate parts.

Precision ball-screws on the X, Y and Z axes allow accurate conventional and climb milling operations and precise circular and contour cuts without tedious setup of a rotary table.

The kit includes servo motors, motor mounting plates with covers, ball-screws, pulleys, belts, limit switches, and all mounting bolts. In addition to the above components, this package also includes a G-code generator software, graphical simulation software, the Chroma CNC 100 Plus motion controller and power drive electronics.

All cabling and manuals are included... all you supply is the manual mill/drill and a low cost computer!

Benefits and Advantage

There are numerous benefits to be gained by upgrading with a new control package ranging from programming, to machining, to connectivity, to operation. And there is a huge advantage to upgrading from manual operation to CNC. Many a times you're better off purchasing a "Chroma CNC Upgrade Kit" instead of purchasing a new machine.

To mention just a few of the benefits and advantages of upgrading your existing machine with a kit from Chroma Systems:

• Increased productivity.
• Improved control of machine.
• Far superior repeatability.
• Reduced machine downtime.
• Fast machining cycles.
• High accuracy, high feed-rate, particularly during countour milling.
• Control and Reliability associated with the latest equipment.
• Increased accuracy and part finished due to new Digital Servo drives.
• More readily available and replacement parts, ususally at lower price.
• User friendly programming and simulation software enables 3D graphic representation of job with automatic generation of G-Code.
• Plus hundreds other advantages and benefits.

Benefits of an upgrade compared with the purchase of New CNC Machine

• Avoid foundation costs.
• Eliminate additional tooling cost.
• Familiarity of mechanical portion of machine by maintenance purpose.
• The Up-gradation Package is less expensive and more readily justifiable.
• Can sometimes be financed from maintenance budgets thus avoiding capital process.
• The purpose of a CNC upgrade may be to give new life to a machine that is non-critical and/or relatively inexpensive. The machine may be one that sits idle because needed hardware for its dated control can no longer be found, or because the control itself limits the machine's capabilities or makes it difficult to use. The machine may also be a low-cost verical machining center that a different control might make faster, more accurate and repeatable

Advantages of a software

Beginning from a sketch, drawing, physical model, or only an idea, the software provides the tools to accurately model your designs ready for rendering, animation, drafting, engineering, analysis and manufacturing.

The software can create, edit, analyze and translate curves, surfaces and solids in Windows. There are no limits on complexity, degree or size. The software also supports polygon meshes and point clouds.

This is ideal for mold, die and tooling, wood working, rapid-prototyping and general machining. This software boats of powerful tool-path generation strategies, coupled with tools for efficiently controlling the cutting tool for detailed machining capabilities, while not sacrificing ease of use. It is suitable for demanding users with sophisticated manufacturing requirements.

We are authorized distributors for the following CAD / CAM packages in India:

1. Rhino ( www.rhino3d.com ) , a very powerful 3D modeling and CAD package
2. Visual Mill ( www.mecsoft.com ) , very versatile CAM software, ideal for mold, die and tooling, wood working rapid-prototyping and general machining markets

RHINO

Start with a sketch, drawing, physical model, or only an idea - Rhino provides the tools to accurately model your designs ready for rendering, animation, drafting, engineering, analysis, and manufacturing.

Rhino can create, edit, analyze, and translate NURBS curves, surfaces, and solids in Windows. There are no limits on complexity, degree, or size. Rhino also supports polygon meshes and point clouds.

Special features include:

Uninhibited free-form 3-D modeling tools like those found only in products costing 20 to 50 times more. Model any shape you can imagine.

Accuracy needed to design, prototype, engineer, analyze, and manufacture anything from an airplane to jewelry.

Compatibility with all your other design, drafting, CAM, engineering, analysis, rendering, animation, and illustration software.

Read and repair extremely challenging IGES files.

Accessible. So easy to learn and use that you can focus on design and visualization without being distracted by the software.

Fast, even on an ordinary laptop computer. No special hardware is needed.

Affordable. Ordinary hardware. Short learning curve. Priced like other Windows software. No maintenance fees.
