InventorCAM Turning and Mill-Turn
The fastest growing and most demanding class of CNC machines on the market today are multi-task machines, that combine several capabilities into one machine. Multiple spindles, multiple turrets, material being machined in multiple stages, transferring from spindle to spindle without handling, stock inserted at one end, finished parts coming out the other.
4/5-Axis Simultaneous Mill Turn machines have many uses and allow much more flexibility and capabilities, not offered from other machine configurations. With this in mind many of these have multi-axes, upper turrets, lower turrets, CYB and Sub Spindles.
InventorCAM has the advanced technology to support the programming of all the latest multi-function CNC machines, providing powerful programming tools that are easy to learn and use, with the ultimate in flexibility and configurability.
The use of tail stocks, stead rest, sub spindles, rotary and linear turrets along with C Axis, CY Axis and B Axis, are regular features on today’s Mill-Turn machine tools. In this collision rich environment, the programming of these machines is made simple and safe by utilizing InventorCAM’s turning and milling operations in a single environment.
Support for multi-turret and multi-spindle Programming, with turret synchronization and full machine simulation, is seamlessly integrated into one extremely powerful package. All InventorCAM milling and turning operations are available for the programming of mill-turn machines. All ancillary devices can also be defined and taken into account for simulation and gouge checking.
InventorCAM goes beyond just programming these complex machines, with intelligent management of rest material between Milling and Turning operations, for the most efficient toolpaths and reduced cycle times, ensuring the highest possible productivity.
