Swiss and sliding headstock
Multi-channel programs where the timing between main and sub matters as much as the toolpath. Synchronisation worked out properly rather than padded with dwells.
MS² CAM programming — remote or at the machine
Programs proven at the machine, not in a slide deck.
Programming for sliding-headstock and multi-axis work is a different animal from three-axis milling. Channel synchronisation, sub-spindle handoff, bar position and post behaviour all have to agree, and the only place that gets settled is at the control.
01 What we program
Written for the machine you own — including machines we did not sell you.
Multi-axis and turn-mill
Driven tools, Y-axis, B-axis and sub-spindle work programmed as one part rather than assembled from operations.
Post development
Edit-free G-code for your specific machine and control. A post that needs hand-editing every time is not finished.
Machine-transfer programming
Taking work that runs on one platform and making it run on another, with the differences understood instead of discovered.
Prove-out and documentation
Setup sheets, tool lists and a documented prove-out, so the job can be re-run by someone who was not there the first time.
Troubleshooting existing programs
The program that mostly works. Usually a synchronisation, tool-life or post problem hiding behind a symptom that looks like something else.
02 Worth being clear about
ESPRIT is a tool we use
MS² performs applications engineering, automation and programming using ESPRIT. We do not sell or represent it, and this page is not a claim of affiliation with Hexagon.
Remote or on site
Most programming happens remotely. Prove-out happens at the machine, because that is the only place it means anything.
Your programs stay yours
You get the files, the posts and the documentation. No hostage-taking.
Confidential prints
Send it under NDA if the drawing requires it. If your customer has specific handling requirements, say so and we'll agree the transfer method before anything moves.
