• Modelling for Manufacture PowerMILL Modelling gives you the tools to prepare and repair your customers' data. Benefits: • Fix problems as soon as they are identified • Eliminates delays caused by sending data back and forth to the CAD office • Resolve potential manufacturing issues before you even think about cutting metal Customers: • Shanghai Maple Motor Dies • Haribo • Thoratec Corporation • TsAGI Typical Applications: • Moulds • Aerospace components • De-featuring models • Repairing holes and gaps • Creating reference surfaces for multi-axis parts For more information click here ...

• High Speed Machining Delcam has been at the leading edge of High Speed Machining technologies for many years, helping customers to machine components in the shortest possible time. Benefits: • Offers a unique approach to efficient area clearance • Rapid production of high quality machined components • Constant cutter loads reduce tooling costs • Minimises sudden changes in cutting motion for a superior surface finish Customers: • Magna Advanced Technologies • TATA Group • Dongfang Machinery • Hutchinson • Foxconn Typical Applications: • Moulds and dies • Automotive panels • Consumer products • Materials with a hardness of up to 50 HRC and above For more information click here ...

• 5-axis Machining PowerMILL offers a wide range of strategies to make efficient 5-axis programming a reality. Benefits: • Saves time by machining complex parts in a single set-up • Uses shorter cutters for faster and more accurate machining, with less vibration • Improves cycle times and surface finish by efficiently controlling the orientation of the tool to the workpiece • Fully integrated simulation and collision detection ensures safe machining of undercut regions • Tool axis editing enables you to fine-tune individual areas of the toolpaths, resulting in a smooth machine tool motion Customers: • Goodrich Engine Control Systems • Beneteau • Mattel • Hyundai • Hindustan Aeronautics Typical Applications: • Blades and blisks • Aerostructures • Port machining • Composite trimming • Complex mould and die For more information click here ...

• Robot Machining The PowerMILL Robot Interface lets you program robots with up to 8 axes as easily as you could program a 5-axis NC machine. Benefits: • Accurate 3D simulation shows exactly how your robot will behave • Dedicated Robot Native Language Translators (RNLTs) drive the robot as programmed • Manual axis adjustment to avoid singularities • Supports popular robots such as Kuka, ABB, Fanuc, Motoman, Staubli Customers: • Southern Spars • Garner Holt Productions • Pacific Forest • Princess Yachts Typical Applications: • Boat hulls and spars • Stone and wood sculpting • Trimming of composite materials • Modelling in foam and resin For more information click here ...

• Blade, Blisk and Impeller Machining Blade, Blisk and Impeller machining (BBI) is a dedicated cost option solution for manufacturing turbo machinery components used in the automotive, aerospace and power generation industries. Benefits: • Automated 5-axis strategies allow complex parts to be programmed efficiently • Rough and finish hub and blade components with minimal effort • Intelligent collision avoidance ensures parts are machined safely with no infringements with the tool, holder, fixturing or clamps • Tool axis editing, feed rate optimisation and intelligent point distribution help to achieve a smooth surface finish Customers: • MTM Automation & Aerospace • Aero Spec Engineering • AVIC Sichuan Fanhua Aviation Instrument & Electric Company • KIPROTO Typical Applications: • Blades, blisks and impellers • Hubs and shrouds For more information click here ...

• Port Machining PowerMILL offers a dedicated port machining solution for the production of tubular apertures. Benefits: • Removes any guesswork involved in machining complex 5-axis engine ports • Enables you to program efficient toolpaths and generate them faster than ever before • Can be used to produce shrouded blisks, shrouded impellers or any other hollow shape Customers: • Zytek Motorsport • Wegner Motorsports • Noonan Racing Engines • MBE Cylinder Heads & Manifolds Typical Applications: • Engine ports • Manifolds • Throttle bodies For more information click here ...

• Electrode Manufacturing PowerMILL allows you to create and machine your electrodes on the shop floor. Benefits: • Helps you to eliminate bottlenecks in your manufacturing process • Uses an electrode creation wizard to make it easy to manufacture complex shapes that would be difficult to produce with conventional cutting tools • Automatically extract electrodes within a few minutes, with holders attached, set-up sheets generated and toolpaths created Customers: • Simoldes • Continental Automotive • Creative Technology • Gillette Typical Applications: • Complex moulds, dies and metal parts For more information click here ...

• Micromachining PowerMILL’s efficient micromachining roughing strategies enable you to produce parts smaller than 1mm. Benefits: • Constant chip load ensures a smooth surface finish • Ability to vary lead in and lead out feed rates and spindle speeds further enhances part quality • Special strategies support the machining of thin walls or bosses on miniature parts Customers: • Oxford Lasers • Carniaflex • Tyco Electronics • Kugler Typical Applications: • Biomedical • Pharmaceutical • Fibre Optics • Electronics • Telecommunications

• Prismatic Machining PowerMILL offers powerful 2D machining functionality for basic machining operations such as facing, chamfering and drilling. Benefits: • Reduce your tool inventory and save cycle times by using only one tool to helically interpolate all holes • Automatically identifies any flat areas of the model and then modifies the slice spacing to optimise overall machining performance • Quick programming of symmetrical parts with the ability to mirror toolpaths while maintaining climb direction • Optimised leads and links smoothes the cutter entry and exit behaviour, improving tool life and surface finish Customers: • Oreco • Omkar Industries • Pan International Typical Applications: • Simple 2.5D production parts • Brackets • Plates For more information click here ...
