4/5 Axis Indexing
The standard 2.5 Axis module comes with 4th and 5th axis pre-positioning capability and assembly mode* machining providing users with the best in class CNC programming solutions for the users.
CAMWorks offers advanced 3 plus 2 machining support, which gives you the ability to machine various faces of a part, while the software automatically establishes index moves. Multiple machine configurations are supported including rotary tables;rotating and tilting tables; 5 Axis rotating and tilting heads; and horizontal machining centers.Setup for 4th or 5th axis indexing is as simple as inserting an Axis and picking a 0 degree face. Both 2 Axis and 3 Axis machining cycles can be used to machine multi-faced parts or multiple parts. Unique stock shapes can be defined to reduce ‘air cutting’. Significant time savings are achieved by optimizing machining sequences by tool number and index position. CAMWorks simulation displays all the indexing moves for accurate process simulation and collision checking.
