Turning software for cnc lathe machines
- 1. Turning Software for CNC Lathe Machines
- 2. lThis powerful CAD-CAM software is a complete CNC programming solution for all simple and complex part turning. lCAM Works 2 and 4 Axis Turning software for CNC lathe machines includes automatic roughing, grooving,finishing, threading, cutoff and single point (boring, drilling,reaming and tapping) cycles. CAM Works, assimilates Machining Intelligence for Automation, a suite of tools that automate recognition of feature and the generation of tool paths based on a user-defined technology database.
- 3. Automatic and Interactive Feature Recognition lAutomatic Feature Recognition (AFR) examines the part shape and defines the most common machinable features such as the OD and ID of the part, front face and grooves. lAFR identifies features on solid models or on solid parts imported through IGES, SAT, etc. lWhen bar stock is utilized, AFR generates a cutoff feature on the alternate side of the face feature. lCAM Works gives an Interactive Turn Feature wizard for elucidating features that need to be explained for your facility’s machining needs, such as custom OD and ID grooves.
- 4. Turning for 2 and 4 Axis Lathes lCAM Works Turning gives fast, error-free cutting using general inserts for both front and rear turret configurations and tool path, simulation and post processing brace for sub-spindles. lMachine algorithms utilize the latest tool path and gouge some protection methods. lExplain stock as bar stock, a revolved draw, a 2D WIP sketch or from an STL file. lWork in process supervising of stock increases efficiency of cutting.
- 6. lExplain chuck to use for simulation of toolpath . lSimulated stock shape can be saved as an STL file for use as Turn, Mill-Turn, Mill or Wire EDM stock shapes. lSimulation, toolpath and post processing support for sub-spindles. lReverse machining for face end, turn end, bore rough and bore finish. lReverse machining for threading to yield left hand threads. lDrill and center drill tools for both mill and turn can be specified from a common drill and center drill database. lOption to connect new turn features to present
- 8. lCutoff operation spindle speed/feedrate slowdown option to decrease the speed and federate at a user specific length from the end of a cutoff toolpath. lRough groove cleanup pass to remove scallops generated by the rough groove toolpath. lConclude groove cutter compensation support. lSingle pass choice for groove cycle. lMultiple groove tool driving point options. lChoice to set minimum and maximum Z limits for turn operations either wholly or for each operation. lChoice to define varying allowances on turn toolpaths. lAbility to reflect about the centerline to generate toolpaths below centerline. lAPT CL support for external post processing.
