SIEMENS SINUMERIK CNC controllers offer a suitable automation solution for all machine designs – for job shop, contract manufacturing, and large series production. Can also be programmed externally and are also suited for automated production. HEIDENHAIN For milling machines, milling/turning machines and machining centres, intelligent functions with special added value, their Klartext conversational programming capability is suited for the workshop floor. The Haas control is easy to learn and use, and it is the same across the entire product line.
Haas The Haas control – hardware and software – is designed and built in-house and optimised specifically for Haas machine tools. Quick to program and easy to use, they guarantee maximum quality and short cycle times. Controls, motors and amplifiers, cables and connectors come in easy-to-install packages tailored to your specific needs. Talk to us about your post-processor needs.įanuc Boosting the widest range of CNC systems in the industry, FANUC provides everything you will ever need for your CNC – from best value controls with powerful functionality to high-performance control systems for complex machines. We at NC Tools are the only certified CAMWorks/SOLIDWORKS CAM technicians in Australia and New Zealand.
It is important to get these output (G Code) correct and customise it to suit your machines, though SOLIDWORKS CAM comes with some Standard post processors for free it may not be suitable for your machine, or you may like to customise header, the start of tool change, rigid tapping codes etc.
Each post processor is designed to generate quality CNC code that meets the requirements of the machine control. Flow – The Flow toolpath in Fusion 360 is a great solution for doing 3D surfacing when the part or geometry is not cylindrical.SOLIDWORKS CAM® and CAMWorks® use a post-processor (like all CAM software in the Market) to convert virtual information and toolpaths into machine tool specific CNC code (often called G-code) required for CNC machining.
Paired with some AWESOME toolpaths in Fusion 360 this allows us to machine features that would normally require surfacing or otherwise be impossible to machine without simultaneous 4th axis machining. Simultaneous 4th Axis (sometimes called true 4th axis) machining involves the 4th axis moving at the same time (simultaneously) as the X, Y, and Z axes of a traditional mill. This comes in handy when for example you need to machine a piece of roundbar to have a square on the end – each side of the square is its own distinct plane, so the 4th axis only needs to move in between cuts. Positional 4th Axis, or 3+1 machining, involves moving the 4th axis of the machine in between cutting material. 4th Axis CAM and 4th Axis machining can be handled in one of two ways: positional or simultaneous.
