Faster Toolpaths and a Simpler User Experience Deliver Improved Productivity<\/span><\/h2>\n

\u201cOn average, twice as fast. For some projects, four times faster.\u201d<\/p>\n

Those figures have been recorded for the enhanced Parallel Finishing toolpath in WORKNC 2021, which lets manufacturers use high-speed cutters of any shape, especially circle-segment tools such as barrel, lens and oval cutters.<\/p>\n

WORKNC International Technical Manager Jean-Louis Humbert says, \u201cThis strategy is now on average twice as fast as the previous equivalents, Planar Finishing and Z-Level finishing. In certain projects, the calculation time difference was four times faster.\u201d<\/p>\n

Another important feature in the latest release of the software is the New Part centering\/probing function, which generates pointset nodes for any inspection machine or direct CNC part inspection on a milling machine. Additionally, a new Probe Inspect command creates and exports control points in the CAM project to feed a probing system. There are also specific improvements to part centering tailored for CNC machines with table palletization.<\/p>\n

The latest release builds on the popular fully-automatic 5-axis curve creation by splitting the steps when more complex curves are required. It also enhances the synchronization capabilities between each curve\u2019s bottom and top limits.<\/p>\n

Improvements to corner finishing with 5-axis rolling include being able to improve surface quality by using a cutting tool\u2019s larger circle segment. \u201cThis 5-axis strategy can now change the contact point on the tool, ensuring optimal corner finishing with the tip of an oval tool,\u201d Humbert says.<\/p>\n

A new strategy \u2013 5-Axis ISO Guiding \u2013 not only guides the toolpath by curves, but also by an underlying drive surface. It supports profiled cutters with advanced toolform technology, and new 5-axis blade finishing functionality allows profile cutter management based on new algorithms.<\/p>\n

New items of functionality in WORKNC Designer \u2013 the specialist CAD-for-CAM 3D modelling module \u2013 include eight dedicated advanced analysis functions for interrogating, analyzing and validating CAD models: Compare, Draft Analysis, Edge Analysis, Altitude Analysis, Curvature Analysis, Face area Analysis, Thickness and Face type.<\/p>\n

WORKNC Designer\u2019s Reverse Engineering module allows imported scan data, either from files or directly by connecting to Hexagon scanners, to be converted into a refined mesh. The mesh data can then be used as it is, or as a reference for curve and surface creation, enabling mesh models to be fully reverse engineered to complete CAD or convergent models.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
