ASYST-PROFILE is an "Workshop-Oriented Programming system" and runs under the most popular operating system DOS/ Windows. But ASYST-PROFILE is not just a program, ASYST-PROFILE is a program with system because it combines two different worlds: the world of design and the world of production, or - in other words - the CAD system and the CNC-machine tools. If you don't have a CAD system, you may use the CAD system which is integrated in ASYST-PROFILE. It meets basically all demands upon a CAD system. What is the difference between ASYST-PROFILE and all the other programming systems? Let us look at it from the point of view of the worker at the machine. Up until now it was like that: by data link or floppy wheel a completed CNC-program was copied onto the machine and the worker started the program by pressing the "CNC start"-button. If there was a mistake in the CNC program (e.g. a wrong feed rate), the worker could not be made responsible because he had not written the program. This approach does not fit into a time anymore in which even large companies implement production islands again. ASYST-PROFILE gives the responsibility back to the production. The worker in the work shop generates the CNC program in a simple way with the help of a drawing. If it is a drawing on paper, he uses his local CAD program to generate the contour. In case of a CAD drawing the drawing file is copied to the computer in the work shop by network or floppy disk. Then the file can be edited on the local CAD program, e.g. irrelevant details in the drawing may be deleted and necessary information for machining may be added.
