Like all other Turning modules, gang tools and SOLIDWORKS Assembly files are supported for complex turn tool setups.

Turning Professional can handle up to 4 tool turrets, simultaneously and fully synchronized. Turning Professional includes everything needed to efficiently and safely program some of the most advanced lathes available. CAM Professional provides the flexibility to handle all of that within the same file, simplifying file management and minimizing the chance of human error. For example, if initial cuts were to be made on a lathe and then the part is transferred over to a mill for finishing, both lathe and mill programming would be necessary.

Those versions might differ in geometry or just the type of code required. Program all types of outside diameter (OD) and inside diameter (ID) work, including grooving and threading.ĬAM configurations work the same way regular SOLIDWORKS configurations work – allowing different “versions” within the same file. Toolroom or slant-bed lathes with X and Z control are compatible. Standard 2-axis lathes can be programmed in CAM Professional. Tool life goes up, cycle time goes down, and you’re more competitive than ever with VoluMill. A dedicated Feeds & Speeds wizard will help you create toolpaths that are not only faster but safer and less harsh on your machine tool. VoluMill leads the industry in high-speed machining (HSM) toolpath technology, and it is built right into SOLIDWORKS CAM Professional. Programming for indexers and trunnions is simple and straightforward with SOLIDWORKS CAM Professional. Assemble your setup virtually using the native SOLIDWORKS CAD mating tools and simply assign parts as Fixtures to force toolpaths to avoid them.Īutomatically generate rotational A/B/C codes to swiftly move between setups.

Programming within a SOLIDWORKS assembly is the best way to ensure your toolpaths do not come into contact with anything but the stock material. for the price, I HOPE that's what it is.There is no way to avoid the need for workholding – parts must be held down – but we can avoid costly collisions between tools and fixtures by planning ahead.

Often, it's not just a cheap upgrade (such as Bobcad, who simply allows you a very good range of a-la-carte options) but a full multi-axis simultaneous package, and I believe that's what you're being hit with from Camworks. Interestingly, they also include 4-axis substitution in the standard package, which is really all you would need for a simple helical gear (after all, you're just substituting an a-axis rotation for a y-axis move)īUT some other companies, if the thing is outputting anything to a rotary axis, regardless of whether it could alternately be programmed with the method Al outlined first. This works well for us, as we do a lot of 'multi faced' parts and absolutely zero surfaced 4/5a stuff. HSMWorks, for instance, includes 3+2 indexing with the standard 3D package, with only 4th/5th axis simultaneous toolpaths split out into the top tier package. This is rather true, when we last evaluated, there was a huge difference in what was included in 4th axis.

Adding new software with new options can be really good thing, you just need to think the whole process out.ĥ) For BobCAD-CAM, Yes I work there, to add our 4 axis standard is about $999 and you get indexing wrapping and rotary tool paths. Who else does the change effect, posts, legacy files etc. There is more cost in learning a system and implementing one then there is in buying one.

There is margin in the deal when working with a reseller, if you let them know you may be taking your business else where it may motivate them to shave some dollars off the price.Ĥ) I do not recommend switching CAM systems on the fly. Most systems will offer you an up front quote that may be more than you want to pay. It just depends on the work you do now and what you might want to do in the future. With that said their could be some real value to adding a full 4 axis package not matter what the cost it. So should be able to add indexing only or some version of just indexing for a lower cost than adding a full 4 axis package. So the cost you received may be based on getting more options that you really don't need or want to pay for. This would cost you nothing and would be easy to implement.Ģ) What are you getting in the 4 axis packageĤ Axis could include indexing, wrapping, rotary and true 4 axis tool paths. Use different work offsets for each index, and add the index codes manually at the work offset.

I think you have more than a few options here.ġ) Use the current software you have for indexing.
