IMTS Pavilion: Controls & CAD/CAM
enables the user to transmit the trigger signal ei- ther over infrared or radio waves— without having to change the touch probe. This gives the users
the benefits of a very wide transmission range (radio) and fast signal transmission (infrared). Heidenhain Corp. Ph: 847-490-1191 Web site:

New CAM Engine
The company will showcase the new GibbsCAM UKM (Univer- sal Kinematic Machine), an updated CAM engine that powers the upcoming release of GibbsCAM 2015. UKM is a complete reengineering of the company’s CAM engine that changes the way the software relates to machine definitions and machine tools, blurring the line between the definition of mills and lathes. GibbsCAM UKM can handle any number of axes in any direction, with multiple tools cutting simultane- ously, allowing users to program and accurately
simulate any current or future machines. The system offers dramatic improvements to rendering and machine simulation that provides the most accurate simulation available, giving customers the confidence that what they see on the com- puter screen is what will happen at the machine. Significant changes have also been made to the tooling functionality of GibbsCAM 2015, and an entire new category of tooling, called Intermediate Tooling, has been added. GibbsCAM 2015 also includes many other improvements, from geometry creation to toolpath strategies, including additional high-speed machining (HSM) strategies.

ManufacturingEngineeringMedia.com | August 2014 Affordable CNC
The new Series 0i-F CNC of- fers users a new commonality of design and 15" (380-mm) display option in an afford- able new CNC platform that includes built-in Bluetooth technology and a digital servo adapter with new EtherCAT interface. The Series 0i-F features common operability, maintainability and networking options as the Series 30i CNC along with having a highly
compatible PMC ladder, translating to easier operation and maintenance across the plant floor. The seamless combina- tion of using the same motors, amplifiers, peripheral devices (safety machine operator’s panel, I/O module/unit, iPendant, interface unit for handy machine operator’s panel) as the Series 30i further simplifies ease of use and maintenance of the Series 0i-F. Additional features on the Series 0i-F include I/O Link i, FANUC Serial Servo Bus (FSSB) high-speed rigid tapping, function for loader control, tolerance control, axis name expansion, quick program restart, flexible path axis as- signment, EtherNet/IP and Profinet.

High-Speed CAD/CAM
The new PowerMill 2015 CAD/CAM package offers higher feed rates and material-removal rates, shortening cutting times by as much as 70%, with the Vortex area-clearance strat- egy, which produces safe toolpaths with a much deeper cut by using a controlled engagement angle that maintains the optimum cutting conditions for the whole toolpath. Companies using PowerMill for either po-
sitional or continuous five-axis machining also will benefit from improvements to the collision checking within the software.
