CAM software eases aircraft parts milling
CAM software automatically recognises pockets to be milled - and the bottom layers - in aerospace parts and so permits the use of a torique mill with automatic detection of the corners.
CAM transforms 3-axis toolpath into 5-axis
Latest CAM software developments include the automation of the transformation of a 3-axis tool path into a 5-axis tool path and is a significant improvement for mold makers.
An ever closer working relationship since 2006 means that the machine tool manufacturer has approved TopSolid'Cam's post processors for its NT series of machines.
(TopSolid'Cam, in addition, is capable of driving even additional machines of the Mori Seiki product portfolio).
TopSolid'Cam offers very powerful functions to drive Mori Seiki's complex multi-function machines.
Machine simulation, collision check, spindle synchronisation, raw part updating and visualization of material removal are important elements of TopSolid'Cam for the tool path programming of multi-function machines.
In addition TopSolid'Cam offers a unique CAM solution in that it is capable of piloting 2 axis turning, 2 and 3 axis milling, 4 and 5 axis continuous milling, synchronisation of multiple turrets and complex simulation.
Close collaboration between Missler Software and Mori Seiki offers greater certainty to clients.
According to Dominique Laffret, Vice-President of Strategic Relationships at Missler Software, "Post-processors are a tricky business".
"We need to work closely with machine manufacturers if we want to get it right".
"Mori Seiki has worked with us throughout the development of the NT series post-processors".
"The result is that both companies can guarantee a machine tool and CAM software that work together".
"This offers an assurance to our respective customers that the machine will work when it arrives on their shop floor".
"We also know that development of machine and software is ongoing".
"This needs even more a close collaboration between Missler Software and Mori Seiki" As an added value, Mori Seiki has pioneered in actively helping with the creation of the machine solid models for NT machines.
TopSolid'Cam will henceforth be able to integrate the solid models of the NT machine for the benefit of our mutual customers.
Missler Software and Mori Seiki currently work together in Austria, France, Germany and the USA.
TopSolid'Cam is used in the Mori Seiki European headquarter in Roissy, France.
