Like all other Turning modules, gang tools and SOLIDWORKS Assembly files are supported for complex turn tool setups. Turning Professional can handle up to 4 tool turrets, simultaneously and fully synchronized. Turning Professional includes everything needed to efficiently and safely program some of the most advanced lathes available. CAM Professional provides the flexibility to handle all of that within the same file, simplifying file management and minimizing the chance of human error. For example, if initial cuts were to be made on a lathe and then the part is transferred over to a mill for finishing, both lathe and mill programming would be necessary. Those versions might differ in geometry or just the type of code required. Program all types of outside diameter (OD) and inside diameter (ID) work, including grooving and threading.ĬAM configurations work the same way regular SOLIDWORKS configurations work – allowing different “versions” within the same file. Toolroom or slant-bed lathes with X and Z control are compatible. Standard 2-axis lathes can be programmed in CAM Professional. Tool life goes up, cycle time goes down, and you’re more competitive than ever with VoluMill. A dedicated Feeds & Speeds wizard will help you create toolpaths that are not only faster but safer and less harsh on your machine tool. VoluMill leads the industry in high-speed machining (HSM) toolpath technology, and it is built right into SOLIDWORKS CAM Professional. Programming for indexers and trunnions is simple and straightforward with SOLIDWORKS CAM Professional. Assemble your setup virtually using the native SOLIDWORKS CAD mating tools and simply assign parts as Fixtures to force toolpaths to avoid them.Īutomatically generate rotational A/B/C codes to swiftly move between setups. Programming within a SOLIDWORKS assembly is the best way to ensure your toolpaths do not come into contact with anything but the stock material.

There is no way to avoid the need for workholding – parts must be held down – but we can avoid costly collisions between tools and fixtures by planning ahead.
