Introduction Thank you very much for purchasing the Auto Programming System for BE12/20V, BM16/20EV

(hereinafter called “BE-V Abile”).

Needless to say, the NC machine tool uses the NC program for machining workpieces.

Even when the machine is highly accurate and functional, it is indispensable to create the NC

program in order to bring out its capacity thoroughly.

Assuming that you are the specialist in small-lot machining, you may know the time required for

machining actual products may be very short compared to the time required for creating the NC

program.

And you may always be seeking means for reducing non-machining time required for creating the

NC program, etc.

Tsugami has been investigating the same issue.

We are confident that the “BE-V Abile” will solve this issue and contribute to the improvement in

productivity.
