CAMWorks 2023, CAD CAM software Australia New Zealand Update
CAMWorks 2023′ integrated features allow you to program smarter and machine faster
CAD/CAM, feature-based programming, automatic feature recognition, knowledge-based machining, and the TechDB to save and reuse best practices. A number of new features have been added to HCL CAMWorks 2023 in response to customer requests, making the software even more powerful and easier to use. Here are a few of the many improvements in CAMWorks 2023.
Wire EDM Premium
- Color-coded feature recognition with cutting-condition support
- Automatic open contour recognition with color coding
- Use decals for entry points, glue stops, and machine stops
Euler Angles Method for 5 Axis Rotary (3+2) Milling
- Allows the angular position of the milling pa setup
- to be calculated using Euler angles
- Achieves desired orientation by rotating and
- aligning the two rotary axes of the milling machine
- Includes ZXZ and ZYZ rotation sequences
- Option to override the system-computed Euler
- Angles with user-assigned angles
Additional Probing Cycles and Output Options for Probe Tool
Additional probing cycles available, including:
- 3 Point Plane
- Angle measurements in X and Y axis
- 4th Axis Measurement in X and Y Axis
Tool Selection Logic Based on Flute Length and Feature Depth
- Improved tool selection logic that includes
- consideration of the tool flute length
- If the tool crib has two or more tools with identical
- diameter values matching the expression criteria,
- then the Flute Length will be taken into
- consideration to determine the tool to be assigned
Machine Cavities with VoluMill
- High-performance toolpath for advanced material removal in 3 axis milling
- Machine Cavities-VoluMill parameter is available for area clearance operations when the pattern is set to VoluMill
- Machines only areas which are water-tight cavities
Support for Tapered and Neck Shank Type Tools
- Ability to define the shank type (straight, neck or tapered) for non-cutting portion of a tool
- Available for all milling tools listed in CAMWorks including flat end mill, ball nose mill, hog nose mill, barrel tool, face mill, drill tool, ream tool, tapered tool, thread mill tool and probe tool.
- The option to define the shank type has been extended to include bore tool, corner round, countersink, dovetail, keyway and lollipop tools
Option to Define Height of 2.5 Axis Milling Islands
- Depth/Height for Island features can be defined in
- both Z+ and Z- directions
- Eliminate potential gouging
- Height can be extended beyond the stock height
