EDGECAM 2024 1 Multi Axis

We are happy to bring to the market a brand-new cycle called Multi-Axis Machining. This cycle is broken into 3 phases. This comes after high customer demand to improve our 5-axis simultaneous capabilities.
Its algorithm is generated around the Five Axis market and method of machining. This cycle is good for complex parts and can be used in Four different methods. Offset from Ceiling, Offset from Floor, Morph between Ceiling and floor and Offset or Adaptive Pattern.
With the Adaptive method, it is capable of doing Trochoidal Machining in a full Five Axis motion which is completely new to our product and can be seen as a new area for the EDGECAM market.
Additionally, it provides control for machining undercut areas by checking for collisions against fixtures when implemented in the sequence.
The cycle is seen as more surface-based as it required Wall and Floor Surfaces to calculate the algorithm. The cycle is split into two different areas called, Wall Finishing and Floor Finishing.
This cycle brings us to an area that makes EDGECAM very powerful in the Five Axis market. We have now implemented all the tools for generating a fast and accurate surface finish. It will now be possible to select the following new tools inside EDGECAM.
They are the full range from the Barrel family, Lens barrel, Taper Barrel and Tangent Barrel, which can be defined in the EDGECAM 2024.1 ToolStore. For this cycle, it is also possible to use Sphere Mill, Lollipop Mill as well as Taper Mill tools.
In Floor Finishing: You can select either an Offset Pattern or a Parallel Pattern.
In Wall Finishing: You have the option to select Parallel Pattern to Ceiling, Floor Boundary or User Defined Curve as well as the Morph Pattern between Ceiling and Floor Boundary.
It is possible to control the Contact Point of the Barrel to calculate the perfect engagement point with the tool. With this method, the user will reduce the cycle times of his components dramatically and gain better tool life control.
EDGECAM is a world-leading CAM solution for CNC machine tools like DMG MORI, DOOSAN, MAZAK, HELLER, HEDELIUS, ANAYAK, CORREA, HAAS, HYUNDAI, HURCO, KITAMURA, ZIMMERMAN, WFL, ZAYER, TAKUMI ...etc.
Proud creator of WAVEFORM high-end highspeed machining technique.
It drives from 2-axis turning machines to complex 5-axis, 6-axis or Mill-Turn machines.
Lathe, milling or Wire EDM machines in our DNA. B-axis turning, simultaneous 5-axis machining, digital twins, on machine probing or inspection are just some of our capabilities to support Industry 4.0.
