CAD/CAM speeds actuator screw programming
Software, based on Archimedes principles, generates the design and the NC code to produce complex transport worms or screws within minutes rather than days.
Programming for 3D machining applications
Somatech, the UK distributor for DP Technology's Esprit range of CAD/CAM solutions, has launched the latest CAM software, Esprit Mold at MACH this year.
With WinTool Professional you establish a very powerful central tool library and access data integrated within the Esprit user interface.
For each NC-operation you pick the best suited tool available, import tool geometries, cutting conditions, and generate automatically a precise 3D model for simulation.
Through total tool management clarification of cutting and collision lengths, profile radius, etc as well as logistics are presented within seconds.
WinTool generates automatically a detailed tool list of a NC-program that can be printed on customised reports for tool crib, pre-setting, and purchasing including graphics and barcodes.
By tightly integrating CAM into TDM the benefits are gained through centralising tool data, tool availability, cutting data and technology know how for each tool and material ensuring that the right tool and driving parameters are selected.
The entire details on tooling are automatically detailed including shop floor documentation and can be passed error free in both directions and be accessed by anyone authorised to do so.
Reduction in tooling inventory and mistakes in creating tool data along with the time to create that data are all improvements seen with existing implementations.
