Simultaneous 5-Axis Machining

Every 5-Axis machining strategy comes with sophisticated options for approach/link control and tool axis control.

• Approach and link moves are fully gouge protected, and different strategies can be deployed according to the distance of the link move.
• SolidCAM provides control options over lead/lag and side tilt angles to allow complete manipulation over the final toolpath.
• Simultaneous 5X Milling also supports circular-segment cutters with barrel-, oval- and tapered geometry.

Edge Trimming operation uses a highly automated algorithm to create a tool path that trims the edge thin materials of machined parts to get their final shape.

• Various options for position definition of the tool relative to the geometry is available, from 3-axis output to more complex 5-axis output with different tool axis orientation.
• Axial shift feature enables the tool to be engaged with a certain value into the material.
• The edge trimming operation can be fully automated or user defined, offering a variety of corner handling functions to ensure a smooth tool path creation.
