GENERATOR
Why RAZ

CNC lathes are fast. Programming them isn't.

Every new part costs programming hours and spindle time before the first good part comes off. RAZ-Generator cuts both.

The problem

Where the hours go.

01

The same hours on every new part

Transfer, cut-off, eject and bar feed get rebuilt or copied by hand for each job. One wrong line and the sub spindle finds the bar the hard way.

02

Small changes, big risk

Changing a part length or a stickout means scrolling through hundreds of lines on the control and hoping nothing else moved.

03

Prove-out eats spindle time

First parts run at 10% rapid with a hand on feed hold, because nobody fully trusts the transfer yet.

What you get

Complete programs. Proven routines. No surprises at the machine.

RAZ-Generator takes care of everything a lathe job needs around the cutting, so your programmer only works on what makes this part different.

01

Complete program set

Every spindle and turret in step, from the first facing pass to a finished part in the basket.

02

Routines already proven

Transfer, cut-off and eject that have already run in production. Reused on every job, never rewritten from scratch.

03

Checked before the control

Unsafe moves and turrets out of step are flagged in the office, before anything is loaded at the machine.

04

Setup sheet with every job

Tools, stickouts and a first-part sign-off page, printed and ready for the operator.

05

No re-measuring offsets

Enter the part stickout and the work offsets are set for you. A wrong value stops the cycle with a clear message.

06

Stays in your shop

Runs on one shop PC, fully offline. Your part programs never leave the building.

Why I built it

I was tired of writing transfers by hand.

I've spent countless hours programming lathes, as a prototype programmer, a manufacturing engineer and a CNC programmer. Whatever the part, one thing always took the most time: transfers, pickups and part-off.

I kept looking for software that could write a clean transfer with a reliable part-off. Nothing I tried got it right, so every new transfer meant stress before the first cycle start.

Since I started building RAZ-Generator, the transfers in my programs look exactly the way they should, every time. Now the same tool can do that for your shop.

Best seen live, on your part.

Screenshots only go so far. The best way to judge RAZ-Generator is a live demo on one of your own parts.

Every routine was proven at the spindle before it went into the generator.
