In a significant leap forward for the CAD/CAM industry, CAM-TOOL proudly announces the release of its latest software iteration: CAM-TOOL Version 20. This new version introduces groundbreaking features that streamline the machining process, enhance precision, and drastically reduce setup time for CNC machinists and engineers.
Unveiling Advanced 5-Axis Capabilities
One of the standout features of Version 20 is the innovative 5-axis Roughing capability. This new tool consolidates what previously required multiple processes into a single, streamlined operation. By integrating “avoid tooling interference” and “stock calculation,” it automatically generates efficient and safe toolpaths in all cutting directions, ensuring optimal machining without manual interference.
AI-Powered Efficiency with Data Mining Methodology
Version 20 harnesses the power of artificial intelligence through its new data mining methodology. This AI-driven feature automatically calculates optimal cutting conditions, even for those with limited experience with specific materials or tools. It efficiently addresses common challenges by leveraging statistical analysis and AI to analyze vast data sets, identifying efficient machining patterns and improving overall operational productivity. Users benefit from a continuous learning loop where proven cutting conditions enhance their unique machining information assets.
Introducing Adaptive Roughing
The new Adaptive Roughing mode is a game-changer for managing tool load. This feature maintains a constant tool load, optimizes RPM speeds during slant cuts distinct from XY movements, and reduces tool wear and breakage. This approach not only enhances durability but also increases the efficiency of toolpaths, especially in complex shapes and contours.
Enhanced Optimization and Stock Calculation
Post-5-axis conversion optimization in Version 20 is more robust than ever. With settings for automatic clearance, air cut reduction, variable feed rate, and corner deceleration, the software generates toolpaths that maximize machining efficiency and reduce cycle times.
The expanded Stock Calculation function now supports finishing modes, automatically detecting unprocessed areas by comparing the current product shape against the stock. This feature significantly eases the burden of defining machining areas, saving valuable programming time.
Transforming Machining Workflows
With the release of CAM-TOOL Version 20, CAM-TOOL not only enhances its software capabilities but also sets a new standard for the integration of AI in the machining industry. By simplifying complex processes and enhancing toolpath efficiency, CAM-TOOL continues to empower machinists and manufacturers to achieve precision and efficiency, paving the way for future innovations.
