Pattern Systems/Biesse Rover

9/19/14       
Jim Smith

Does anyone know if tech support is still available for Pattern Systems? I know they become a part of 20/20 but have heard that 20/20 has discontinued selling the products. I have even heard that 20/20 is now part of Styles Machinery.

What I really in need of is my company has just purchased a Biesse Rover, PTP and we are still using Pattern Systems. I am looking for some assistance with setting up the machine map including the barcode information that will print on the label. Is there anyone out there still using Pattern Systems and Biesse?

Thank You Very Much:

What is Pattern Systems?
I didn’t think that they have fell that far. Or are you being funny? Pattern Systems used to be at the top of cabinet making software for drawing, cutlisting, optimization, machining, labels, ect. But as newer technology was developed and newer programs came out they never advanced so they fell by the wayside.

You need to program each labels in biesse R.
I am not sure what that means, are you saying I need to create each label by hand?

Within DrillMate (the part of Pattern Systems that creates the drilling/routing information) is a line in the Machine Map that creates the barcode and sends it to the label software. Currently it is set up with for program name. However the machine needs the program name followed by .bpp for the machine to pull up the program at the machine. So I need to find a way to add the .bpp to the label of find a way for Biesse to not require the .bpp at the end of the program name.

This is why I am hoping to find someone that is maybe still using Pattern Systems and A Biesse Rover.

Thank You

Jim, morning, one correction,
you do not need to add the .bpp to the the program for it to read..your machine will import an ISO created program direct from PS or 3rd party Post Processor.

Not sure if the post is completed with PS but sure someone has it.
(please provide Model/year of your Rover)

For the label..it needs to be Code 39 and the program extension will be (.iso) or .txt. The path will be xnc (wnc)/home/p_p/prog and the scanner will default to look in that folder for the program. I can send you the doc to set up the scanner..(symbol ls4208 with 9pin connector and power supply)

As always, for more technical info. please contact service@biesseamerica.com or 704-357-3131.

Thank you for your response, the machine is a 2014 Rover A_S1332, we have had it for less than a month and have just switched from an old Busellato.

We had 4 different machine maps or post for Biesse machines and prior to purchasing the machine had sent this information to Biesse to verify if it would work, they responded it would. We are now trying to work through different issues.

As far as adding the .bpp to the barcode this information was provided by Biesse tech support. The barcode I am using I believe is code 39 but will need to check, the other information you provided I will also need to check and see if I have this set correctly.

Please send the doc for the scanner setup, it may provide some information I don’t already have, thank you in advance. My e-mail is j-smith@c-tec.us and my system blocks out .doc as well as other extensions so it would work best if you send as a zip file, or rename with a different extension before sending and I will rename back.

Thank You

Unless you go with Biesse software you will need to use the WRT package within the the wrt software that runs the input and output addresses. As for patern systems I did an install around 2005 that used this software and it was an issue back then as customer could not do multi programs without inserting certain characters to allow it to optimize the code using cam 3. Ask about the converter Biesse Canada has to convert your standard iso code to run on the new Rover. Just so you know they do not push the converter as they would have you use Biesseworks to run machine.

  • WOODWEB is a professional industrial woodworking site. Hobbyist and homeowner woodworking questions are inappropriate.
  • Messages should be kept reasonably short and on topic, relating to the focus of the forum. Responses should relate to the original question.
  • A valid email return address must be included with each message.
  • Advertising is inappropriate. The only exceptions are the Classified Ads Exchange, Machinery Exchange, Lumber Exchange, and Job Opportunities and Services Exchange. When posting listings in these areas, review the posting instructions carefully.
  • Subject lines may be edited for length and clarity.
  • "Cross posting" is not permitted. Choose the best forum for your question, and post your question at one forum only.
  • Messages requesting private responses will be removed - Forums are designed to provide information and assistance for all of our visitors. Private response requests are appropriate at WOODWEB's Exchanges and Job Opportunities and Services.
  • Messages that accuse businesses or individuals of alleged negative actions or behavior are inappropriate since WOODWEB is unable to verify or substantiate the claims.
  • Posts with the intent of soliciting answers to surveys are not appropriate. Contact WOODWEB for more information on initiating a survey.
  • Excessive forum participation by an individual upsets the balance of a healthy forum atmosphere. Individuals who excessively post responses containing marginal content will be considered repeat forum abusers.
  • Responses that initiate or support inappropriate and off-topic discussion of general politics detract from the professional woodworking focus of WOODWEB, and will be removed.
  • Participants are encouraged to use their real name when posting. Intentionally using another persons name is prohibited, and posts of this nature will be removed at WOODWEB's discretion.

    WOODWEB's forums are a highly regarded resource for professional woodworkers. Messages and responses that are crafted in a professional and civil manner strengthen this resource. Messages that do not reflect a professional tone reduce the value of our forums.

    Messages are inappropriate when their content: is deemed libelous in nature or is based on rumor, fails to meet basic standards of decorum, contains blatant advertising or inappropriate emphasis on self promotion (return to top).

    Libel:   Posts which defame an individual or organization, or employ a tone which can be viewed as malicious in nature. Words, pictures, or cartoons which expose a person or organization to public hatred, shame, disgrace, or ridicule, or induce an ill opinion of a person or organization, are libelous.

    Improper Decorum:   Posts which are profane, inciting, disrespectful or uncivil in tone, or maliciously worded. This also includes the venting of unsubstantiated opinions. Such messages do little to illuminate a given topic, and often have the opposite effect. Constructive criticism is acceptable (return to top).

    Advertising:   The purpose of WOODWEB Forums is to provide answers, not an advertising venue. Companies participating in a Forum discussion should provide specific answers to posted questions. WOODWEB suggests that businesses include an appropriately crafted signature in order to identify their company. A well meaning post that seems to be on-topic but contains a product reference may do your business more harm than good in the Forum environment. Forum users may perceive your references to specific products as unsolicited advertising (spam) and consciously avoid your web site or services. A well-crafted signature is an appropriate way to advertise your services that will not offend potential customers. Signatures should be limited to 4-6 lines, and may contain information that identifies the type of business you're in, your URL and email address (return to top).

    Repeated Forum Abuse: Forum participants who repeatedly fail to follow WOODWEB's Forum Guidelines may encounter difficulty when attempting to post messages.

    There are often situations when the original message asks for opinions: "What is the best widget for my type of shop?". To a certain extent, the person posting the message is responsible for including specific questions within the message. An open ended question (like the one above) invites responses that may read as sales pitches. WOODWEB suggests that companies responding to such a question provide detailed and substantive replies rather than responses that read as a one-sided product promotion. It has been WOODWEB's experience that substantive responses are held in higher regard by our readers (return to top).

    The staff of WOODWEB assume no responsibility for the accuracy, content, or outcome of any posting transmitted at WOODWEB's Message Boards. Participants should undertake the use of machinery, materials and methods discussed at WOODWEB's Message Boards after considerate evaluation, and at their own risk.
