Wire EDM benefits from further Advanced controls for Edgecam's 2- and 4-axis wire EDM machining cycles. Users save a significant amount of time when creating sketches extracted from DXF/DWG files. Fillets and corner blends are also supported.Įdgecam 2015 R2 introduces the ability to automatically add dimensional constraints in EWS, through the Sketch Analysis command. For the rapid creation of uniform profiles, EWS has introduced a Slotting Tool command, which quickly and easily adopts any profile shape, adding width and depth to the feature. Numerous enhancements have been made to Edgecam's internal modelling software, Edgecam Workflow Solids.
The NC output is adjusted using the high feedrate of the machine tool. Where voids or intersecting holes are detected, the toolpath is automatically adjusted, increasing the feedrate while the tool is not cutting. Using the enhanced Hole Cycle in Edgecam 2015 R2 gives significant time savings.
Edgecam 2015 full#
The toolpath reaches the full area with a single path, offering two types of cut pattern. The Advanced 5-Axis Cycle capability has a new Port Machining module, offering both roughing and finishing strategies. Also, the subspindle part can be machined away from its home position. This leads to a better understanding of which machining features are active, and means multiple transfers can be made between spindles.Īnd the new Spindle Set-Up command makes it easier to edit the sequence window. The Lathe Set-Up command has been enhanced, allowing for clearer definition of Main and Sub-Spindle components. Overall, Edgecam 2015 R2 has around 50 items of new and enhanced functionality.
Edgecam 2015 upgrade#
Highlights include an upgrade to the multispindle lathe setup, a new port machining module for its renowned 5-axis cycle and significant time savings through the enhanced hole cycle.
The latest release of Edgecam's manufacturing software from Vero USA contains a number of important new and enhanced items of CAD and CAM functionality for milling, turning and wire EDMing. Models are typically designated according to their “swing,” or the largest-diameter workpiece that can be rotated bed length, or the distance between centers and horsepower generated. Toolroom and bench lathes are used for precision work the former for tool-and-die work and similar tasks, the latter for small workpieces (instruments, watches), normally without a power feed. Special lathe types include through-the-spindle, camshaft and crankshaft, brake drum and rotor, spinning and gun-barrel machines. Features include gear- (speed) and feed-selector levers, toolpost, compound rest, lead screw and reversing lead screw, threading dial and rapid-traverse lever. The engine lathe consists of a headstock and spindle, tailstock, bed, carriage (complete with apron) and cross slides.
Edgecam 2015 manual#
Comes in a variety of forms, ranging from manual to semiautomatic to fully automatic, with major types being engine lathes, turning and contouring lathes, turret lathes and numerical-control lathes. Turning machine capable of sawing, milling, grinding, gear-cutting, drilling, reaming, boring, threading, facing, chamfering, grooving, knurling, spinning, parting, necking, taper-cutting, and cam- and eccentric-cutting, as well as step- and straight-turning.
