Time savings of over 50 per cent can be achieved thanks to the manner in which the cycle gathers data for toolpath calculation. Through improvements in the toolpath algorithm, EDGECAM 2018 R2 provides a significant performance improvement with the ‘Pick Solid Faces’ function. Profiling Cycle performance and functionality improvements Users may now influence both the Work Datum and the Tool Offset, and view the status from within the NC output and the Inspection Report. As well as the new ‘Inspect Rectangle’ feature, both the ‘Options’ and ‘Inspect Toolpath’ dialogs include new features. Major items include the introduction of NC Gateway, which communicates with the machine tool, plus ‘Best Fit’ calculation, which allows alignment of the workpiece. Significant time savings and reduced tool wear can be achieved when adopting these methods.Īlso, the cycle’s collision detection capability has been extended by automatically removing any potential crashes between the tool and the tailstock.ĮDGECAM Inspection module’s evolution continues with 14 enhancements, including full postprocessor support from with the Code Wizard. A bi-directional toolpath can be created, allowing the cycle to be used in conjunction with Sandvik’s CoroTurn® Prime turning inserts. The Rough Turn cycle includes several new lead parameters allowing the user to roll in and out of each cut with a tangential arc. Simply by activating the command, users can deploy the multi-level and depth functions within a hole cycle, to automatically locate the best entry position for the drill cycle.Įxtended Lead Parameters Rough Turn Cycle Rather than manually create drill hole positions, which is sometimes time consuming, EDGECAM 2018 R2 automatically creates the hole position and keeps the drilling toolpath associative to the Roughing cycle.
The way the ‘Pre-Drill’ approach strategy is handled, has been significantly improved within the Roughing cycle. The 2018 R2 Release contains 54 items of new or enhanced functionality which improve productivity for manufacturers using a range of cutting technologies and machining strategies.
