Mastercam Swiss Expert Makes
Programming Simultaneous Motion Simple
Tolland, CT – With the new class of complex machines, manual programming is no longer efficient or even feasible with some designs. Mastercam Swiss Expert now offers support of the 5-axis Swiss machines in the market, making the complex task of programming 5 axes of simultaneous motion simple. This support allows designers more freedom to add increasingly complex features knowing that Mastercam Swiss Expert and the new generation of Swiss machines are up to the task.
Powerful Solids Programming
Mastercam Swiss Expert is completely solids based, allowing for quick toolpath creation from solid faces, edges, loops, and turned profiles. There is no need to create additional geometry to cut your part.
Tools to Make Programming Easier
Efficient cutting means more than just programming a toolpath. Mastercam Swiss Expert gives you a set of tools that impact your entire process, including:
· A complete understanding of your machine allows for streamlined programming, from toolpaths to synchronization to simulation.
· Select tools and build 3D tool assemblies in the comprehensive Tool Manager. Tools, tool assemblies, and tool equipment are fully supported in Machine Simulation.
· Save tools and cutting strategies into libraries for future use on similar or families of parts.
· View your operations and add synchronization points graphically using the Sync Manager. Mastercam Swiss Expert understands your machining modes, and will prevent adding sync points that the machine cannot execute.
Simulation
Mastercam Swiss Expert lets you fully and safely simulate your project on a virtual machine before it reaches your shop floor. Mastercam Swiss Expert’s simulation provides:
· Full simulation of every moving component of your machine, including material, main and sub spindles, all tool holders, and part handling devices.
· Automatic collision detection. Catch collisions in a virtual environment before damaging expensive equipment.
· Accurate machine models allow you to be confident in the representation of machining processes.
· Automatically jump to any point in the simulation by selecting a location on the Gantt chart.
· Simultaneously view NC code for all channels while simulating your part.
Synchronization Made Easy
Mastercam Swiss Expert has all of the tools necessary to graphically optimize part cycle times and avoid collisions. With the Sync Manager, you can:
· Use an unlimited number of channels.
· Drag, drop, and sync operations to one another.
· Sync operations by tool group or by channel.
· View all machining parameters and modify them on the fly if necessary.
· Expand and contract the timeline for trouble-free viewing of the part process.
· Use colors to help identify which toolpaths belong to which tool group or channel.
· Quickly view the time each operation takes to complete.
