SmartCAM Production Milling™ software is a highly productive solution for applications that require 21/2-axis machining with fourth axis positioning. As the
fist tier in the SmartCAM®
family of milling applications, it offers the functionality you need today plus a long
term growth path for your future needs. Like all SmartCAM applications, Production Milling is designed to help you reduce your programming time. improve your
machining processes, and deliver your customer's parts quicker.
Ease Of Use
SmartCAM Production Milling runs with the icon-oriented Microsoft Windows XP and Windows 2000 operating systems. Production Milling'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 Production Milling 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 Production Milling provides comprehensive solutions that help you get jobs done faster and shorten part delivery times, including:
-
Robust toolpath creation and editing functions
Get the functions you need to create and edit part profiles and create machine-ready CNC toolpath.
-
Intuitive pocketing
Select from spiral, linear, or zigzag routines. Automatically calculate correct toolpath, and recognize multilevel islands and open profiles.
-
Intelligent drilling
Automatically create drilling codes based on the parameters of the tool chosen.
-
Fourth axis support
Maximize your machining productivity with indexing tables and tombstone setups.
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.
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.
-
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.
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 information 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.
