Delcam to Demonstrate Feature-based CAM at Haas Anniversary
Delcam will join the celebrations of the 30th anniversary of Haas Automation at HaasTec 2013 at the company’s California headquarters from 9th to 12th April. At the event, Delcam will demonstrate the latest developments in its FeatureCAM feature-based CAM software. The 2013 R2 release incorporates a number of new stock model options that allow users to increase productivity, improve surface finish and reduce tool wear, plus new methods for the generation of html set-up sheets, and improvements to turning and turn-mill programming.
FeatureCAM also includes the ability to incorporate probing sequences into CAM programs makes it easier to undertake unsupervised production operations by allowing automated checks to be carried out before, during and after machining. Probing paths can be generated for five feature types: pockets, obstructed pockets and webs; inside or outside corners; bosses, bores and obstructed bores; radial bosses, bores and obstructed bores; and single surfaces. All of the resulting probing paths can be simulated and collision checked on the computer in the same way as cutting paths.
