Delcam will launch all the latest version of PowerMILL for high-speed and five-axis machining at CMTS on booth #2732 , at the Direct Energy Center in Toronto Ontario, October 17-20, 2011.
PowerMILL 2012 will include a number of new strategies to make programming faster and machining more efficient with the best-possible surface finish. One such enhancement is flowline machining. With flowline machining, the toolpath is divided between a pair of drive curves in a constant number of passes, rather than having a varying number of passes with a constant stepover. The toolpath will have its start and end passes on the drive curves, with the intermediate passes blending between them. This approach gives smoother results since it ensures that each pass travels over the full length of the area, rather than leaving the part, or making major changes in direction, during the pass. It produces a better surface finish on the part and minimizes wear on the cutter and the machine tool.
