A bidirectional toolpath can be created, allowing the cycle to be used in conjunction with Sandvik Coromant’s CoroTurn Prime turning inserts. The Rough Turn cycle includes several new lead parameters allowing the user to roll in and out of each cut with a tangential arc. “Simply by activating the command, users can deploy the multilevel and depth functions within a hole cycle to automatically locate the best entry position for the drill cycle.”
“Rather than manually create drill-hole positions, which is sometimes time consuming, Edgecam 2018 R2 automatically creates the hole position and keeps the drilling toolpath associative to the Roughing cycle," Buehler says. The way the Pre-Drill approach strategy is handled has been significantly improved within the Roughing cycle. Once finished, the seed file is automatically updated with the new editions. Using the new ‘Edit’ and ‘Reload’ functions, Edgecam will independently open the inserted file, allowing the user to perform unlimited edits to the CAM instructions. “Arguably the most significant individual enhancement is the ability to retrospectively edit the CAM toolpaths,” he says. Once inserted, the toolpaths are not only automatically merged, but the enhanced Closest Next ordering further economizes the CAM toolpaths.
The number of components that can be inserted onto the Tombstone is now limitless, reflecting best industry practice. The originating file is always protected, guaranteeing that vital information is never overwritten. The new Add Tombstone function ensures users never overwrite their master tombstone assembly file (referred to as Seed file). They include significant changes to the Pre-Drill Approach Roughing cycle, creating features from wireframe entities, 3D milling cycles in mill-turn Rotary mode, 28 new technology databases in the Wire EDM module and Tombstone.Įdgecam Brand Manager John Buehler says that every user will benefit from at least one of the enhancements, the most significant of which is a complete transformation to the Tombstone Manger, thanks to 13 enhancements. The new release of Edgecam, from Vero Software, contains 54 items of new or enhanced functionality that improve productivity for manufacturers by using a range of cutting technologies and machining strategies.
