Making Swiss-type CNC lathes more productive
|
|
For a series of sliding headstock multi-axis CNC lathes, the manufacturer has collaborated with a CAM provider to simplify programming when using, or not using a guide bush. Delcam's PartMaker division is collaborating with Ganesh Industrial Supply, to provide highly productive programming software for the Ganesh Cyclone series of sliding headstock multi-axis CNC lathes The Ganesh Cyclone series, which features the 7-axis Cyclone 25-CS, are Swiss-type lathes that can operate without a guide bushing Programming these types of machine provides some dificult problems when compared with programming a conventional, guide bushing-based Swiss machine, said Delcam. PartMaker SwissCAM automates the programming of these specialized types of Swiss machines. The software allows users to choose whether or not they wish to program on a machine with or without a guide bushing. It allows users to move seamlessly from a guide bushing-based to a guide bushing-less Swiss machine with a single click of a button when programming jobs. PartMaker and Ganesh Industrial Supply share technical information with one another to assure users that PartMaker SwissCAM is fully compatible with the Ganesh Cyclone series of guide bushing-less Swiss machines. This integration includes the availability of robust post processors and machine simulation facilities for this range of machines. A number of Ganesh users around the United States, said Delcam to manufacturingtalk.com, are already benefiting from being able to program their Ganesh Cyclone sliding-headstock lathes off-line with PartMaker. President of Ganesh Industrial Supply, Harvinder Singh, said: "One of the benefits of the Ganesh Cyclone over a conventional guide bushing-based CNC Swiss machine is faster set-up. By programming with PartMaker SwissCAM, our customers can take this productivity benefit to the next level. Request a free brochure from Delcam ... By automatically programming parts and simulating their manufacture off-line before setting up the machine, they can gain further time savings in machine set-up.". http://www.manufacturingtalk.com/news/dea/dea698.html |
