CAM for CNC machine tool programming

Revolutionize your manufacturing operations with true digital twin technology, artificial intelligence, next generation automation tools, and robust CAM programming to safely and efficiently drive all of your CNC machinery.

CAM for CNC Machine Tool Programming

Milling 3- to 5-Axis
Explores full range of capabilities of any machine with Graphical simulation feature that previews the toolpath movements and machining process in real-time, helping programmers visualize the results before actual machining.

Turning
Capabilities of both Turning centers and Turn Mill centers programming with accurate simulation and G-code generation for complex machining cycles. Quickly produces efficient rough and finish toolpaths for a wide variety of workpieces and machining situations offering extensive user control of individual cutter movements

Swiss-Type and Multi-Tasking
To provide programming, optimization, and simulation specifically tuned for Swiss type and muti tasking machines, our CAM combines a comprehensive suite of milling, turning, and inspection cycles with support for Swiss-specific machine components — sliding headstocks, guide bushings, gang slides and posts for tooling, secondary spindles, and collinear axes thus simplifying the programming process while utilizing the full capability of the machine

Wire EDM
Tailored solutions for specific wire EDM brands and machines, offering optimization based on their unique characteristics and established machine-specific insights into cutting conditions.

High-Speed Machining
High-speed machining for 2.5-, 3-, 4-, and 5-axis roughing significantly reduces cycle times and dramatically increases tool life. This strategy combines optimized, high-speed toolpath patterns, chip thinning with light radial engagements and full depths of cut, and dynamically optimized feed rates to maintain consistent chip loads and minimized cutting forces throughout the cut.

Heavy Machining
CAM programming for heavy machining strives to attain optimal and accurate outcomes by considering the size and weight of the workpiece, as well as the specific machine's capabilities.

On-Machine Inspection
Multi-Axis 3+2 probing cycles may be added at any point during the part program and combined with other cycles into one complete part program to support all machining and on-machine inspection needs.

Metal Additive Manufacturing
Efficiently combining additive and subtractive processes through side-by-side programming. Offering a seamless workflow for hybrid or dedicated additive machines. Incorporating stock-aware cycles for both additive and subtractive operations.

Virtual Machine Setup
A digital twin of the CNC along with the part setup and tooling. Setting up the machine digitally, with realistic tool assemblies and workholding as done in the shop, gives CAM an awareness of the real manufacturing environment.

Programming Automation
Solves unique challenges with individually tailored automation solutions and apps built using the software’s API. Tap into the power of CAM via the API to eliminate repetitive tasks, provide higher degrees of automation, and facilitate the flow of data into and out of the CAM system.

Turn-key Post Processing
See exactly what will happen at the machine before you ever cut a chip. View the entire machining environment, including stock materials, fixtures, and clamps in dynamic, solid-shaded graphics. All the kinematic action of your machine is displayed in real time, giving you an incredibly accurate verification of the entire machining process.

Process simulation, verification & optimization

Verify, certify, and optimize your code before running your programs to guarantee machining results, safeguard your equipment, and maximize machine output.

Process Simulation, Verification & Optimization

G-Code Simulation
This simulation provides a visual and interactive representation of how the machine will operate, including tool movements, cutting paths, and interactions with the workpiece.

Cycle Time Optimization
Aids in verifying the accuracy of toolpaths, ensuring proper machine operation, estimating cycle times, and optimizing cutting parameters. By verifying the cut time and non cut time, Optimizes the total Cycle time required for the part.

Setup Revision
Reviewing the setup and updating reference points (datum points) to ensure accurate machining and verify that the revised setup and toolpaths will result in the desired outcomes without collisions or errors

Program Certification
Once the program passes all verification and validation steps, the system certifies the program and thus stored as a master in the database, generally an approval process by designated personnel, often including manufacturing engineers and quality control teams which can be now avoided with this certification.
