Demonstrations of machining with robots using the PowerMILL Robot programming system will be the highlight of Delcam’s stand at the Advanced Engineering group of events that is to be held at the NEC, Birmingham, on 11th and 12th November.  Delcam will also feature the 2015 releases of its PowerSHAPE Pro CAD and reverse engineering software, and its FeatureCAM and PowerMILL CAM systems on stand G33 at the exhibition. PowerMILL Robot can be used for the programming of robots for a variety of multi-axis machining operations, including patternmaking, modelmaking, trimming and drilling of composite components, and deburring and polishing of metal parts.  Robots can be also be programmed for part-to-tool applications, such as grinding or linishing.  In both cases, the software makes it as easy to program a robot for machining as it is to program a five-axis machine tool.  To ensure safe and efficient operation, PowerMILL Robot can be used to simulate the
