GibbsCAM Demonstrates 3 Times Faster Machining With VoluMill
Cimatron Limited today announced that GibbsCAM 2013, the newly released version of its acclaimed CAM software, will be showcased at the Technology trade show in Tel Aviv, Israel, June 18-20.
Particular GibbsCAM features to be displayed at the event include the VoluMill option for ultra-high volume material removal, and the Multi-Task Machining (MTM) option.
VoluMill in GibbsCAM enables up to 3 times faster machining and significantly reduced tool wear. VoluMill maximizes material removal rates by building toolpaths that optimally control tool cutting factors, automatically taking into account the best option for milling pockets, including the speed of a tool plunging into the material and material removal rates. Variation in tool load is smoothed, allowing the machine to use much higher speeds and feeds.
GibbsCAM's powerful MTM provides seamless access to both turning and milling capabilities. The machine tool's specific configuration is automatically captured by GibbsCAM's settings, and full support is offered for the machine's utility operations. Support is also provided for an unlimited number of turrets and spindles, with only one set-up required for the machine to transfer the part from spindle to spindle.
Cimatron's booth at the Technology show will include live machining demonstrations powered by GibbsCAM with VoluMill and MTM capabilities and performed on an Okuma Multus B300II from ELBE Ltd. Parts machined will be distributed to booth visitors.
In addition to GibbsCAM, also on display at the booth will be integrated CAD/CAM solution CimatronE, which offers dedicated functionality for mold and die makers and discrete part manufacturers.
