Delcam to Demonstrate PartMaker 2015 at EASTEC

Delcam will demonstrate the latest version of its PartMaker software for programming CNC mills, lathes, wire EDMs, turn-mill centres and Swiss-type lathes at EASTEC 2015 in West Springfield, Massachusetts, from 12th to 14th May. The company will also demonstrate its new, free productivity application, the PartMaker Multi-Channel Viewer.

Highlighting the new version is a completely revolutionary approach to CAM post processing for multi-axis turn-mill centres and Swiss-type lathes. PartMaker 2015 includes the ability to generate a post-processor reference guide, an on-command manual explaining how to program a given multi-axis lathe and take advantage of all the machine’s capabilities.

Other highlights of PartMaker 2015 include improved support for today’s latest breed of multi-tasking machine tools, more powerful milling and turning functionality and improvements in the software’s knowledge-based technology for storing optimal feeds and speeds for additional tools.

"As the pioneer of CAM software for multi-tasking turn-mill centres and Swiss-type lathes, PartMaker continues to innovate to bring our users the most sophisticated technology for programming these machines,” said PartMaker President, Hanan Fishman.

"The advent of the post-processor reference guides and other improvements to PartMaker’s industry-leading post-processing technology ensure PartMaker users have the most robust post processors possible,” added Mr. Fishman. "Using PartMaker’s unique, cloud-based post-processor update utility, customers can always assure they have the most recent post-processor for their machine tools.”

PartMaker 2015 includes specialist support for a new breed of machine tools that has been growing steadily in popularity in recent years called vertical mill-turns. These machine tools provide the turning functionality typically found on a vertical turret lathe with the milling functionality of a five-axis vertical machining centre. PartMaker 2015 also offers support for turret-based Swiss lathes with programmable B-axis live tooling attachments.

The PartMaker Multi-Channel Viewer is a free software application for users of multi-axis turn-mill centres and Swiss-type lathes to quickly view their multi-channel NC programs side-by-side, for virtually any multi-channel machine/control combination. 

The Viewer will be configured for visitors to the booth by a PartMaker product specialist for their shop’s exact line-up of multi-tasking machine tools.  By visiting the booth at EASTEC, visitors will not only receive the Viewer to install on their PC, they will also have it configured on the show floor to take away on a USB stick.
