Prismatic Machining0 pages
Advanced CADCAM solutions for machining complex prismatic components.
Many components, no matter how complex, require basic machining operations such as facing, chamfering and drilling. PowerMILL
is best known for its innovative high-speed and multi-axis machining toolpaths, so its powerful 2D machining functionality can
often be overlooked.
“Toolpaths can be easily generated and edited within PowerMILL. The accuracy of the toolpath and the interface is intuitive – you can
trust it. What you see on the screen is what you are going to get at the machine.”
Bill Reid – Reil Industrial Enterprises, Canada.
Reduce your Tool Inventory
Using one tool to helically interpolate all holes significantly reduces the need to fill your carousel
with multiple drills, while minimising tool changes cuts your overall cycle time.
Face Milling
Optimised Machining Performance
Have you ever witnessed your roughing toolpaths over-machining areas? This can often be
attributed to poor roughing code that fails to consider flat regions or the model. PowerMILL
automatically identifies any flat areas of the model then modifies the slice spacing to optimise
overall machining performance.
Helical Milling
Simplified Drilling Methods
Drilling holes in PowerMILL could not be simpler. After importing your part, PowerMILL
automatically identifies hole features and their orientations. They can then be machined using
pre-defined drilling methods.
Special attention is given to controlling the feed rate automatically when approaching the
bottom of the hole. This is often needed to avoid damage to the cutter that can occur with a
sudden change in loading.
