Hole Cycles EDGECAM includes all the standard drilling, tapping and rigid tapping routines with canned cycle and sub routine output. Face milling will recognize the boundary shape and remove air cuts where applicable, links moves for change in cut direction can be controlled to give smooth transition producing and even flow tool path which is kinder to the machine tool and cutter engagement. The stock can originate from automatically created stock or from a forging or casting model produced in CAD.įace Milling Creates a series of straight cuts on a horizontal plane. Tool paths can be controlled using the current stock which ensures tool path approach is secure and eliminates fresh air cutting. Face Milling, Roughing, Profiling, Hole Cycles, Thread Milling, Chamfering, Slot Milling are some of the standard operations available and recognize the active stock EDGECAM offers range of milling commands for the production engineer which can be used on both milling machines with W axis and Quills plus lathes with driven tools with. Tombstone and multi part fixture is supported, along with extended datum shifts.ĮDGECAM offers ease of use operational programming with intuitive dialogs making programming simple for the new user and comprehensive tool path control for the more advanced requirements.
A simple update of the tool paths is all that is required rather than a reprogram of the part. EDGECAM will inform the user of model updates and show what the changes are and where tool paths need to be corrected. The ability to use Solid models and the design data from all the major CAD system maintaining associative links allows quick and efficient programming, especially when a Design modification is made.
