Mold CAM displayed at Difficult Manufacturing Show
DP Technology will be showing its latest version of mould machining CAM software with improved 3D machining performance at Japan's 'Difficult Manufacturing Show'.
These new grooving cycles offer the following key functionalities: any-tool orientation utilizing a B-axis, new pre-finish options, expanded finish pass control - enhanced for NC compensation, optimised step-over calculations, additional roughing patterns, and support for casting stock.
* New rotary milling cycles - ESPRIT 2006 includes a new 4-axis wrap pocketing machining cycle, which allows users to easily machine in 4-axis directly from a 3D solid model.
This new capability supplements the wrap-contouring cycle introduced in ESPRIT 2005.
Both of these machining cycles provide the programmer with the choice of working with flat 2D or 3D representations of the work piece.
Roughing, semi-finishing and finishing, including dedicated wall-finish passes and floor-finish passes, can now be combined in a single operation, and each type of pass allows the selection of a different cutting tool.
Tool path can be produced on the OD or the ID of cylindrical stock, utilizing one or two rotary axes, and all tool paths are displayed in 3D for greater clarity.
