SwissCAM
PartMaker lets you program your CNC SWISS-TYPE lather easier than ever before
PartMaker-SwissCAM programs multi axis, multi spindle machines that could only be programmed by hand until its introduction. The strategy that allows this simplified programming is the breaking down of a complex part into a number of single axis operations. Each machine surface is programmed in a separate window as a much simpler operation. The patented 'Divide & Conquer' programming strategy is highly intuitive and graphical, resulting in fewer errors being made.
As each operation is programmed, it is verified to ascertain that the result will be as desired. The operations can be simulated in solid format showing a cross section through the guide bushing. It is animated as moving stock sliding in and out of the guide bushing with the tools developing the shape of the part.
Knowledge Based Machining is employed in PartMaker-SwissCAM and the machinist's skills are saved within the system so that they can be used over and over again. Standardization and Repeatability are achieved in this way, further reducing programming times.
