Description
Currently on the market, the most demanding and most successful CNC machines are multifunction turn-milling machines that combine several applications in a single machine.
Multifunction machines offer many capabilities and provide greater flexibility and range of application than other types of machine. They generally include several spindles, multiple turrets, possibly C, Y and B axes, and allow the workpiece to be transferred from one spindle to another without manual intervention, with automatic bar feeding to produce a fully finished part on a single machine.
SolidCAM has all the technology required to program this type of multifunction machine, providing powerful programming tools that are easy to learn and use.
The use of tailstocks, steady rests, counter spindles, turret revolvers, combs as well as C, Y and B axes are common features on current turn-milling machines. In this collision-prone environment, programming these machines is safer and simplified by using SolidCAM's turn-milling operations.
Managing the programming of multiple turrets and spindles is achieved through fully integrated synchronisation and machine simulation. All turning and milling operations are available. Auxiliary elements can also be controlled and taken into account for simulation and collision checking.
SolidCAM does not limit itself to controlling these complex machines. Thanks to intelligent management of the remaining material between each operation, SolidCAM generates the most efficient toolpath possible to ensure the best productivity for these machines.
