1.1 The 3500i
The ACU-RITE 3500i control is a touch screen workshop-oriented
contouring control that enables you to program conventional
machining operations right at the machine in an easy-to-use
conversational programming language. The control is also capable of
running, and editing g-code (ISO format) programs. It is designed for
milling and drilling machine tools, as well as machining centers, with
up to four axes. You can also change the angular position of the
spindle under program control.

The 3500i has many powerful features that will improve your
productivity. The touch screen features, and screen layout are clearly
arranged in such a way that the functions are easy to access, fast and
user friendly.

ACU-RITE conversational, and G-code formats
The ACU-RITE conversational programming format is a method of
writing programs; g-code (ISO) programming is also supported.
Preview graphics in the editors illustrate the individual machining
steps for programming the contour as well as the corresponding tool
path generated. If a production drawing is not dimensioned for NC
programming, the CAM can be used to graphically generate a
complete part program. Work piece machining can be graphically
simulated either during or before actual machining.

The conversational and g-code (ISO) formats are the same as that
used in previous CNC products (3000M, 5000M, 6000M and 6000i).
