Exhibitor Profile

Compass Software is a pioneer when it comes to CNC connections. We have been implementing viable connections with our CAM software since 1983 and since 1987 we have been able to connect 5 axis machines and fully interpolated cutters for handrail and stringer wreaths. Our CAM software is highly optimized, matured, and flexible.

:: Connection across platforms to all customary and eligible machining centers from any established machine manufacturer possible

:: No need for additional software for CNC control, since control works directly through executable machine programs, which are generated directly and automatically from CAD data

:: A complete solution, which makes it possible that every construction created with the staircase software Version ND (New Dimension), can be manufactured immediately and process driven on CNC machining centers

:: Compass Software has managed to open this CAM module for the most diverse new applications through refined effective modular programming techniques.

Some important features:

Control of all CNC driven machining centers, including automated positioning of clamping devices (vacuum cups, horizontal clamps, vertical clamps, etc.) for staircase and wood construction parts
Complete tool management
Collision control or simulations
Creation of tool groups – the system decides autonomously, on the basis of the geometry, which tool has to be used
Complete barcode processing/barcode scanning
Machine organization through fully automated and optimized creation of CNC programs
Nesting (simultaneous material savings)
Multiple table arrangement
Control of positioning lasers
Unmanned loading of the systems via robots

Compass Software is one of the world leaders in software development for the staircase manufacturing industry. Compass Software offers complete solutions from planning a construction and three-dimensional visualization of designs to supporting nearly fully automated CNC processing.

Compass Software has also been able to offer CAM solutions for wood constructions for quite some time now. These are based on the BTL interface which is serviced by all customary construction software. All established machines can be controlled, just as it is possible with staircase manufacturing.

Furthermore, Compass Software is specialized in developing specific customized solutions to cover individual needs of the users.

For more than 30 years, the company, which currently employs a staff of 32, has been delivering innovative solutions for customers from more than 30 different countries around the world. Compass Software´s customer base includes companies of all sizes – from small businesses that produce only few staircases each month, to companies with industrial manufacturing that complete more than 15000 staircases each year.

More than 2700 customers have profited from our advanced expertise and extensive know how so far.

Comprehensive range of services:

:: Development and Marketing of Specialized Software Solutions for Staircase Manufacturing - Our integrated complete solution makes it possible to transfer everything that results from the planning process and construction on the computer directly to the machining center. Rapid data flow, which is based on a central database and an extremely powerful network solution, is guaranteed. Our software solutions, amongst others, includes:

Construction of staircases and 3D visualization
Price calculation, including detailed post calculation
Input of DXF data
Free adjustment of forms to fulfill various needs (e.g. ordering of production parts)
Detailed output of plans
Complete parts lists
Nesting modules (simultaneous saving of material)
1:1 Output
XML interface for recording offset with laser measuring systems
Time recording via CSV output for immediate evaluation
Management of data flow with the aid of barcodes on drawings
XML interface for integrating the ND software into larger EDV environments, such as ERP systems
Controlling of all CNC driven machining centers, including automated positioning of clamping devices (vacuum cups, horizontal clamps, vertical clamps, etc.) for staircase parts and wooden components
Automated loading of machines through robots

:: Installation and Configuration – Our qualified team will set up the software on-site, while considering the individual requirements of each customer. We are experienced in connecting almost every type of CNC machine.

:: CAM Solutions for Wood Constructions – These are based on the BLT interface which is serviced by common construction software. Just as with staircase construction, all established machines can be controlled.

:: Training – We offer individually customized training and seminars to school you in using the software optimally, as well as need-based and specialist advance training for already established customers.

:: Support – Our specialist team compiled of wood technicians and carpenters answers all questions regarding the software, as well as supports you actively and comprehensively in all other matters.

:: Consulting – We will professionally analyze customer specific business processes and will develop hands-on strategies for the rationalization of procedures. The implementation of our recommendations optimizes procedures and leads to a noticeable reduction in workload, saving of time, and a significant increase in efficiency for our customers.
