The Face Mill Cycle, has better toolpath control and can potentially increase machine tool longevity The cycles’ NC output can be configured to support Hexagon’s existing m&h probing macros, as well as many other popular probing systems for different controls and native probing languages of Siemens and Heidenhain controls.įollowing specific customer requests, six new or updated commands have been introduced into the Inspection operation, including the ability to globally edit existing features, and to specifically control the layout of both Linear and Rectangular Array features. Most of this is put down to improvements in the software’s architecture, which give a reported average time saving of 70 per cent on checking toolpaths with Machine Simulator when the software is initially launched.Ī radical overhaul of the probing functionality in EdgeCAM 20201 revolves around 8 new cycles, which deliver support for programming a variety of on-machine probing cycles. When using the Profiling cycle’s Undercut function, savings of between 40- and 60 per cent have been recorded in Hexagon’s tests, depending on the part’s size and complexity. “Numerous benchmark tests show a 30 per cent improvement in calculation times, compared to the previous version,” claims Miguel Johann, EdgeCAM machining market and product manager. Two of the most popular machining cycles in the software – Roughing and Profiling – benefit from improvements to the software’s multi-threading technology algorithms.Īs a result, EdgeCAM‘s high speed Waveform Roughing strategy is now faster when generating toolpaths for both solid and wireframe components. EdgeCAM CAD/CAM 2021 software from Hexagon, has launched with claims of boosted customer productivity through lower computer processing time, and faster toolpaths.Ī number of these productivity-boosts are said to have been achieved through reducing calculation time by enhancing EdgeCAM 2021’s parallel processing capability.
