CimatronE to Power Live Cutting of Complex Mold and Die Components at EMO

Cimatron Limited announced that it will partner with AgieCharmilles at EMO 2009, in Milan.

The latest version of CimatronE will be displayed in Cimatron Group's booth (Hall 9, Booth A12). Additionally, CimatronE will program the cutting of components for mold and die making on a Mikron 5-Axis high speed machine and a Mikron high performance machine, in the GF AgieCharmilles booth (Hall 7, Booth F13).

CimatronE will program the cutting of a punch component of a die tool, made out of 60HRc hardened steel, on the Mikron HPM600 HD high performance machine. The cutting will showcase the ability to cut contours at an accuracy of 5 microns in high performance mode, allowing tool makers to cater for demands on accuracy while reducing cycle time significantly, even when cutting extremely hard metals.

GF AgieCharmilles will use CimatronE's 5-Axis capabilities to power its high speed Mikron HSM400U 5-Axis Machine. The machine will manufacture a tungsten copper electrode.

5-Axis milling enables the use of a shorter, more robust tool, resulting in precise cutting with a high polish-free surface quality.

CimatronE is optimized for the design and manufacture of molds and dies, with modules that include 5-Axis milling (for tool making as well as manufacture of discrete parts), micro milling (for extremely accurate cutting) and electrode making.

Version 9.0 of CimatronE, which includes new enhancements that decrease cycle times and facilitate a more efficient design and NC programming process, will be on display in the Cimatron Group booth alongside GibbsCAM, Cimatron's additional product line, developed for production milling and turning.

"GF AgieCharmilles are keen to show visitors the level of surface quality and accuracy their machines can achieve with even shorter cycle times, and we are glad that our software is facilitating these results," said Danny Haran, CEO of Cimatron Ltd. "EMO is an opportunity for Cimatron to prove the effectiveness of its software on the industry's most advanced machines, live, in front of an audience."

Cimatron Group's booth at EMO and its collaboration with Machine Tool Vendors will be facilitated by its Italian subsidiary Microsystem.
