The Advanced 5-Axis Cycle capability has a new Port Machining module, offering both roughing and finishing strategies. Also, the subspindle part can be machined away from its home position. This leads to a better understanding of which machining features are active, and means multiple transfers can be made between spindles.Īnd the new Spindle Set-Up command makes it easier to edit the sequence window.
The Lathe Set-Up command has been enhanced, allowing for clearer definition of Main and Sub-Spindle components. Overall, Edgecam 2015 R2 has around 50 items of new and enhanced functionality.
Edgecam workflow upgrade#
Highlights include an upgrade to the multispindle lathe setup, a new port machining module for its renowned 5-axis cycle and significant time savings through the enhanced hole cycle. The latest release of Edgecam's manufacturing software from Vero USA contains a number of important new and enhanced items of CAD and CAM functionality for milling, turning and wire EDMing. Models are typically designated according to their “swing,” or the largest-diameter workpiece that can be rotated bed length, or the distance between centers and horsepower generated. Toolroom and bench lathes are used for precision work the former for tool-and-die work and similar tasks, the latter for small workpieces (instruments, watches), normally without a power feed. Special lathe types include through-the-spindle, camshaft and crankshaft, brake drum and rotor, spinning and gun-barrel machines. Features include gear- (speed) and feed-selector levers, toolpost, compound rest, lead screw and reversing lead screw, threading dial and rapid-traverse lever. The engine lathe consists of a headstock and spindle, tailstock, bed, carriage (complete with apron) and cross slides.
Edgecam workflow manual#
Comes in a variety of forms, ranging from manual to semiautomatic to fully automatic, with major types being engine lathes, turning and contouring lathes, turret lathes and numerical-control lathes.
Turning machine capable of sawing, milling, grinding, gear-cutting, drilling, reaming, boring, threading, facing, chamfering, grooving, knurling, spinning, parting, necking, taper-cutting, and cam- and eccentric-cutting, as well as step- and straight-turning.
