Easy system operation
ALOtec-Macros

Faster setup
Predefined program sequences enable significantly faster setup.

Easy operation
Intuitive wizards simplify operation and make the system easy to understand.

Automatic adjustment
With just a few parameters, the macro automatically adapts the design to the component.

Error minimization
Automatic program assistants effectively reduce operating errors.

Macros: Programming is that easy
Watch our video to see how intuitively and quickly a weld mark can be programmed on a cylinder component using an ALOtec macro – demonstrated directly in real time.
ALOtec generators
Overview of macros
The ALOtec generators are program-generating macros that significantly simplify the programming effort and make the machining process even more efficient.

Cylinder –
parallel rings

Cylindrical surface with parallel concentric circular hardned or welded tracks

Cylinder –

Meander
generator

Meander generator in one plane, filling a closed contour with meander pattern

Track offset
generator

Creates copies of a track they are moved by a frame or tool offset to be specified

Track offset
generator

Creates an inverted track with opposite processing direction for a simple 3D meander

Spiral

3D-probe
teach point

Calibrates a static coordinate system using 3 points
Further macros are available depending on the process. We are happy to create special macros for your machining process according to your requirements.
