Many apologies for the poor system performance during the conference
call. The STEP Tools, Inc web site is becoming saturated. We will
increase our bandwidth by off-loading content to a cloud server.<br>
<br>
The press release is nearly ready for distribution with only final
approval by Sandvik pending.<br>
<br>
The latest version STEP-NC Machine samples the Okuma control 10
times a second during tracking instead of 2 times per second. We are
developing a new simplification algorithm that will speed up
simulation by using wider tolerances during roughing operations.<br>
<br>
We discussed the organization of the data. The demonstration will
focus on showing the pocketing so we need to make it easier to reach
the corresponding STEP-NC information. STEP Tools will add new
workplans into the project for the roughing, finishing and drilling
operations to make this selection easier. STEP Tools will also
improve the user interface to make the selection of the appropriate
in-process model for machining easier. Sandvik will simplify its
pocketing operations to use fewer cutting tools.<br>
<br>
The new data with the new features has been posted to the web site.<br>
