One Machine Tool for Turning and Milling
TekSoft Inc. (Scottsdale, AZ) has released CAMWorks 2005. Key to this release is the new CAMWorks Mill-Turn module with support for C-, Y-, and B-axis machining. Additionally, the software features numerous productivity enhancements for milling, turning, and wire EDM.
The new CAMWorks Mill-Turn module extends the capabilities of the existing CAMWorks system by providing a programming solution for milling and turning on the same machine tool, with machining cycles available for C-, Y-, and B-axis machining at compound angles and on the face, ID, and OD of a part. Mill and Turn features are identified by automatic feature recognition (AFR) and defined using interactive feature recognition (IFR), which can be used to define 3-axis features for Y-axis milling. For cylindrical features that would be machined by C-axis motion, Mill-Turn includes a new Wrapped feature.
Operations include automatic roughing, finishing, thread milling, and single point cycles plus all advanced 3-axis cycles. All machining operations are defined, calculated, and verified in the SolidWorks environment. CAMWorks integrates seamlessly into SolidWorks 3D mechanical design software.
