Three Wiedemann punch presses were retrofitted for one customer over a three year period. For this application GE Fanuc 0P series controls were used. The customer used Wiederpath CAM software to create the part-programs. This was problematical as the only post-processor available was for the now obsolete control system. A-Tec Systems developed a PC based translator which would convert existing programs to the new GE Fanuc language format. The optimisation of the translator was such that the customer is still using the programming system 10 years later.
