Two new modifiers, ‘Corner’ and ‘Lock,’ will enable a ‘dynamic gauge point,’ which maintains the same position in relation to the insert at all orientations.ĭovetail tool cutters, which were introduced in the previous version of EDGECAM, can now be used with a Profiling cycle in both milling and turning environments.

EDGECAM 2021 includes a Secondary Lead Move dialog, meaning that as the cycle completes the opposite side of a groove feature, the user can now deploy unique Lead In and Lead Out movements.”Ī further turning-related enhancement incudes more control when working with angled turning tools. Applications Engineer Mike O’Neill explains: “Groove features come in all shapes and sizes, and aren’t always symmetrical. And a new Overlap Edge function guarantees no wasted cutter passes, and no surplus material left on a face.Įxtra Lead In/Out functionality for lathes gives more control during the secondary movement of the Finish Groove cycle. But now, closer cutter contact reduces that time. Previously, when set to either Climb or Conventional, the face mill cycle took longer as it moved from left to right in readiness for the feed movement. Another newcomer – Outside To In strategy – promotes more intelligent toolpaths, as well as reducing cycle times. One of EDGECAM’s most used strategies, the Face Mill Cycle, now offers better toolpath control, reductions to cycle times, less tool wear, and can potentially increase machine tool longevity.Īs well as time savings, the new Cut by Region option deploys a more even toolpath, completing each segment of a component before moving on to another region. 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.

And improvements in the software’s architecture give an 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 revolves around eight new cycles, which deliver support for programming a variety of on-machine probing cycles. Machining Market and Product Manager Miguel Johann says: “Numerous benchmark tests show a 30 per cent improvement in calculation times, compared to the previous version.” When using the Profiling cycle’s Undercut function, savings of between 40 and 60 per cent have been recorded, depending on the part’s size and complexity.

Three significant time savings: EDGECAM’s world-leading high speed Waveform Roughing strategy is now significantly faster when generating toolpaths for both solid and wireframe components. Two of the most popular machining cycles – Roughing and Profiling – benefit from improvements to the software’s multi-threading technology algorithms.
New and enhanced functionality in the latest release of EDGECAM CAD/CAM software from Hexagon, boost customer productivity through lower computer processing time, and faster toolpaths.Ī number of these productivity-boosts have been achieved through reducing calculation time by enhancing EDGECAM 2021’s parallel processing capability.
