Three biggest benefits of “ARMCODE1”:

(1) Full automation of NC programming in the field of metal processing,

(2) A system of automatic quotation and machine status monitoring by mobile devices, which can accelerate digital transformation of small-lot production factories,

(3) ARM’s unique algorithm enabling highly accurate machining.

- Background for the birth of “ARMCODE1”

A few years ago, Takayuki Hirayama, founder and President of ARM, calculated the CNC machine utilization rate in his factory. He found that NC programming accounts for about 50% of the total processing time, and this process hinders productivity improvement at many SMEs, including his own company. By utilizing factory automation & processing technology cultivated in ARM, he has developed “ARMCODE1” in order to solve this problem peculiar to small and medium-sized parts manufacturers.

- Overview of “ARMCODE1”

Machining programs (G code/M code) are automatically generated by simply dropping 2D or 3D CAD data into the software-specified area. AI thereby selects the optimum machining conditions from thousands of types of tools and one million machining conditions, enabling high-precision machining. Characteristic functions of ARMCODE such as automated estimation and automatic calculation of the machine tool utilization rate also reduce the workload on the manager and help to thoroughly eliminate unprofitable work.
