Machining Software The new release of PowerMILL for high-speed and fi ve-axis machin- ing includes improvements to the Vortex high-effi ciency area- clearance strategy, expanded collision-checking to also cover near misses, and more effi cient raster fi nishing. Vortex produces safe toolpaths
with a much deeper cut by using a controlled engagement angle that maintains the optimum cutting conditions for the whole toolpath. New enhancements in PowerMILL 2015 give even greater reductions in machining time with Vortex com- pared to conventional roughing. Company will also showcase its FeatureCAM feature-based programming software that includes a range of enhancements in three-axis milling, two- axis and fi ve-axis drilling, turning and turn-mill, and wire EDM to make the software even more powerful and easier to use, as well as new features in PartMaker, which offers a unique approach to postprocessing for multitasking machine tools.

late a robotic process in 3D space or conduct fea- sibility studies for robotic applications without the physical need and expense of a prototype workcell setup. Features include cell calibration and user frame, collision detection, graphi- cal and video display of ro- bot programs, import of CAD fi les, CAD to path, virtual teach pendant, offl ine programming, Dual Check Safety (DCS), and robot vision option. Roboguide aims to verify the operation of the robot. It can, for example, check possible interference between the robot and other objects and verify the numerous operations with an animated simulation.
