Data Management Solution

SprutCAM X 17 is a CAM system for NC program generation for machining using multi-axis milling, turning, turn/mill, Wire EDM numerically controlled machines and machining centers. The system enables the creation of NC programs for machines with a wide variety of kinematics and can be adjusted to NC Equipment of virtually any kind. It has an advanced functionality, and its wide range of available features enables efficient machining of dies, press tools, casting, molds, preforms, machine parts, spare parts, and even wooden parts.

2.5D MACHINING

SprutCAM features several 2.5D machining strategies for the machining of multi-level 2D parts. Available strategies include calculations for roughing and finishing tool paths. Machining parts of any level of complexity is achieved using strategies for machining: along a contour, island machining, vertical walls, slots & pockets with islands. SprutCAM has the ability to automatically recognize horizontal surfaces as well as holes. The system supports all types of hole machining including tapping and thread milling. The automatic recognition of rest material and the full control of machining accuracy is included.

4-AXIS ROTARY
MACHINING

Rotary machining within SprutCAM is a milling process that, when a linear movement is aligned with one of the standard axis X, Y, Z, it can be transposed into a rotational movement. This method of machining is ideally suited for the machining of; axles, crankshafts, camshafts, oilwell and gas industry tooling equipment, augers. Rotary machining reduces the complexity of manufacturing parts while increasing the quality by eliminating positioning errors between part setups. SprutCAM contains a wide range of strategies for the calculation of rotary machining programs.

MULTI - AXIS
INDEXED MACHINING

When doing multi-axis machining, the
required rotation angle of the part can be applied interactively by simply clicking on the required part of the 3D model surface, which will automatically orientate the tool / part. SprutCAM automatically calculates the necessary rotation angles and generates the NC program. The tool path is calculated taking into account the predefined machine kinematics (structure) for index machining for 4-5 and more axes. Multi-axes machining comprises 2.5, 3 and 4 axis milling strategies. NC programs are calculated taking into account any transformations of the working CS. To carry out machining of the same part on a machine with another kinematics scheme, it only requires selection of the required machine and recalculation of the existing operations. Multi-axis machining significantly reduces the number of required processes, improves the quality of machining while labor involvement is also reduced.

5-AXIS CONTINUOUS MACHINING

SprutCAM has strategies for 5-axis machining that allows the development of control programs for all types of multi-axis milling machines, including multi-task machining centres. The NC program is created taking into consideration the CNC machine model which enables collision avoidance of any type during machining. SprutCAM fully supports toolpath calculation based on rotating coordinate systems e.g. TCPM. SprutCAM includes market leading strategies for collision avoidance and full control of tool orientation.

MACHINING ON INDUSTRIAL ROBOTS
SprutCAM - work integrated environment that allows to develop NC programs for a variety of types of machining using industrial robots. The system comprises the following machining modules:

Milling;
Plasma arc cutting;
WaterJet cutting;
Laser cutting;
Knife cutting;
Welding (arc, laser);
Surface grinding;
Deburring edges of details;
Area cladding;
Thermal strengthening of the surface.

The calculation of the tool path along part features
is made while taking into account:

Robot kinematics;
Singularity area;
Coverage area;
The range of allowable angular rotation of the joints of the robot;
Collision control;
Control of additional axes of the robotic cell.

The Robot control program is generated taking into account the currently selected robot type. SprutCAM outputs the technological commands inherent to the selected robot type within the created control program.

WIRE EDM
SprutCAM wire EDM operations enable the creation of 2 axis internal and external vertical contour machining. There are also 4-axis machining strategies with automatic, interactive and precise
synchronization working with either 2D (curves) or 3D models. A cutting parameter databases can be defined for each individual machine and the many possibilities for multiple profile machining
ensure excellent surface accuracy with minimum user input. Automatic, interactive and precise placement of 'bridges’ for connected features prevents parts dropping out of the material. Hole position for wire feed are transferred to the holes machining operation in order to create the NC program for hole drilling.

TURN MILL MACHINING
SprutCAM enables the creation of NC programs for all types of turn/mill machines. Machines can be programmed with any number and arrangement of turrets equipped with driven tools using the C, Y and B axes. CNC machine tool types that can include tooling systems with any tool position (turret / holder) and number are supported; hence, the NC program can include a combination of both lathe and milling abilities. All strategies for the lathe and 2.5-5 axes milling machining are available. Synchronization of turrets on. Multi-turret machines is also available.

MACHINING SIMULATION
SprutCAM includes a powerful machining simulation module, which allows the user to simulate the machining of the part using any machine already installed within SprutCAM; using the full machine kinematics and 3D model. The machining simulation enables the machining technology to be optimized for maximum efficiency, tooling and machine life etc. While simulating the machining process, SprutCAM automatically takes into account both the machine and auxiliary equipment travel limits. The standard SprutCAM installer includes a variety of machines for practically all types of metal-cutting machinery.
