SURFCAM 4 & 5 Axis Machining

SURFCAM offers true simultaneous 4 and 5-axis machining, full visualization and verification. This enables the NC programmer to move and control any combination of the machines axes.

Includes the Standard CAM features

• SURFCAM allows machining of parts with rotary axes at any orientation.
• Trim machining allows the machinist to specify the tool vector at any point along a contour.
• 4 and 5-axis tool shank containment offers cutting through a window to simplify operations such as cylinder or manifold head porting.

4 and 5-axis single- and multi-surface machining capability with:

• Lead, lag and swarf (cutting with side of tool)
• Full tool and shank gouge avoidance using ball, bull and flat end mills.
• Drive surface / check surfaces with any number of check surfaces avoiding all other surrounding surfaces

The simultaneous 5-axis milling features in SURFCAM are beyond that of most PC-based systems and exceed that of many workstation based NC software systems that are offered at a significantly higher price. - CIMdata, Michigan, USA
