 SmartCAM Advanced
Turning™
for Microsoft®
Windows XP Professional or Windows 2000
SmartCAM
Advanced Turning Data Sheet
SmartCAM Advanced Turning™ software creates efficient toolpath and CNC code for 2-through 6-axis lathes and mill/turn
centres. Like all SmartCAM® applications, it is designed to help you reduce your programming time and deliver your customer's parts quicker.
Ease Of Use
SmartCAM Advanced Turning runs with the icon-oriented Microsoft Windows XP and
Windows 2000 operating systems. Advanced Turning's graphical user interface uses manufacturing terminology and logical operational sequences that even first time users will find familiar and experienced users can apply quickly.
Compatibility
SmartCAM Advanced Turning takes design information from any CAD system. IGES, DXF and CAMCAD
Standard™ CAM Connections turn design
elements into part profiles properly sequenced for machining.
Shorten Part Delivery Times
SmartCAM Advanced Turning provides comprehensive
solutions that help you
get jobs done faster and shorten part delivery
times, including:
-
Fast, flexible toolpath geometry
-
Automatic roughing routines:
Linear operations can be generated at any angle. For undercut roughing, SmartCAM automatically identifies the part and material boundaries for any areas not cut by the back of the tool.
Contour roughing follows the finish profile.
Groove roughing cuts are generated for the ID, OD, or face of your part.
-
Comprehensive threading support:
Creates inside and outside
diameter, left- or right-hand, and
straight or tapered threads.
Uses built-in thread tables or you
can create your own.
Generates code as a canned cycle
or as toolpath.
-
Intelligent drilling cycles:
Quickly generate code or canned
cycle output for drilling, tapping,
boring, or counterboring
operations with minimal input.
Eliminate Surprises
Visual verification capabilities improve product quality and save you machine time and material costs.
-
ShowCut™ shaded volumetric simulation of the machining process shows you how your material will be cut before you put it on the machine.
-
Show Path simulates the machining process to show you how your material will be cut before you put it on the machine.
-
Dimensioning and notes capabilities help with shop floor documentation
-
Custom tool graphics help you visualize special
tools as well as the standard ball, bull-nosed,
and square tools supported by the software.
-
Dynamic viewing capabilities let
you
verify toolpath from any angle.
Supports A Broad
Range Of Machines:
-
2-axis
-
4-axis
-
Live tooling
-
Sub spindles
Simplifies 4-Axis Turning
-
Automatically synchronizes tool motion for both turrets, yet lets you control timing.
-
Shows you merged tool motion as it will occur at the machine with feed rates represented in correct relation to one another.
-
Automatically creates balanced or pinch turning operations from a single profile and synchronizes tool motion.
Combine Mill/Turn Operations in a Single Model
-
Integrate C-axis operations with turning functions in a single machining model.
-
Support radial and axial live tool orientations, and Y-axis motion.
-
Support a full range of milling operations
including milling, off- centre and cross drilling, tapping, slotting, pocketing, and facing.
Save Time and Money
-
Subroutine support saves you time on repetitive shapes and operations.
-
Automatic Toolpath Optimization sorts through toolpath solutions to find the shortest machine cycle time.
-
Macro Productivity Tools automate commonly used machining functions to make your work faster and easier.
Capture Your Manufacturing Expertise
-
Job Operation Planner
The Job Operation Planner is a unique SmartCAM function that helps you organize and store tooling and machining operations infol1llation so you can capture proven machining methods and reuse them.
-
Customization
Almost everything about SmartCAM
applications - from the user interface to the way code is output - can be customized to streamline your
work. SmartCAM applications put you, not the computer, in control.
-
The SmartCAM Advanced Turning Advantage
SmartCAM applications are the best value in the CAM market place. That means you get maximum return on your investment. And as your business grows, the SmartCAM family of applications for 21/2- through 5-axis milling, 2- through 6-axis turning, 2- through 5-axis Wire EDM and fabrication will continue to meet your competitive needs.
