This latest release, Edgecam 12.5, delivers new capabilities including ease-of-use, automation, mill-turn programming and integration with solid CAD systems. Improvements to Edgecam's automatic feature recognition (AFR) now allow for rapid model alignment and feature finding across multiple faces in both milling and turning.
The capabilities of Edgecam Strategy Manager have been extended to include programming for mill-turn applications. Best practice milling and turning machining parameters can easily be applied to the most complex components. Enhancements to Edgecam's feature browser gives users greater control over the machining order, making it easier to view which tools and cycles have been applied to a feature. The manufacturing sequence can easily be sorted by feature type or manufacturing method, and modified using simple drag and drop techniques.
A rough turning cycle includes improved chip control, reducing notching and tool wear. Also within the turning environment, enhanced chuck jaw and chuck setup options contribute to greater machine tool set-up flexibility and collision detection.
