CAM software cuts CNC programming time in half
Brooks Crownhill Patternmakers firmly believes that the EdgeCAM software has cut its CNC machine tool programming time by half and production lead times reduced by 30%.
"Certified Select" status on Solid Edge
EdgeCAM CAM software has been awarded "Certified Select" status on EDS' Solid Edge Version 14 computer-aided design software.
A range of advanced cutting strategies will be on show including the use of automatic adaptive feedrates.
By monitoring the level of tool engagement during toolpath generation, EdgeCAM is able to dynamically vary the programmed feedrate to maintain optimum cutting conditions.
EdgeCAM will also be using its new full machine simulation to show comprehensive verification of the cutting process.
EdgeCAM machine simulation allows full machine tools to be accurately modelled and their movement shown throughout the machining process.
Pathtrace will also be previewing EdgeCAM's new multi-axis machining functionality.
A comprehensive range of simultaneous 4 and 5 axis strategies will be offered to tackle the production machining requirements of industries such as Aerospace.
5 axis strategies include swarf cutting for machining variable taper walls and sophisticated multi-surface finishing.
4 axis simultaneous will target complex rotary applications such as camshafts and blades.
All new machining strategies will be supported for both Mill and B-Axis Mill/Turn machine configurations and fully support solid or surface geometry.
