Create a real NC program from PAL G-code
Can I use programs written with PAL G-Code directly on the CNC machine with your software? – We get asked this question quite often. Answer: Yes, you can!
With SYMplus™, you can transfer your PAL program to the machine in just a few easy steps:
1️⃣ Generate the NC program – Simply select the appropriate controller, e.g., SIEMENS, HEIDENHEIN, or HAAS, and choose the storage location.
2️⃣ Transfer the program – Via network, USB, or serial interface.
3️⃣ Final test on the controller – Use the simulation graphic to check if everything is correct.
Done! This is how a PAL program becomes real CNC production!

3 Steps to Rotary-Symmetric Contour!
For pocket or island contours, the entire geometry often needs to be created from A to Z. But what about rotationally symmetric contours? That should be much simpler, right?
With SYMplus™ CNC software, you can do it in just 3 quick steps:
1️⃣ Create 1/6 of the contour – saving you time and effort.
2️⃣ Mirror the created section – now you have the other side.
3️⃣ Mirror and rotate the whole thing around the other axis – and voilà, your rotationally symmetric geometry is complete!
