EdgeCAM version 12 extends the range of 5-axis machine tool support to include head/table configurations for both simultaneous and positional work. This is supported by full machine simulation to aid visualisation of the machining process and verify work setup. The complete machine, including all table/head and tool movements can be displayed, helping to ensure safe operation and process optimisation. Read how EdgeCAM’s new 4-and 5-Axis strategies can help you use your multi-axis machines to their full capabilities.

State-of-the-art visualization tools are provided by EdgeCAM Simulator, with the ability to accurately model the machine tool and simulate all movement within the manufacturing process. This is particularly useful with 5-Axis machining, where small changes in angular movement may generate significant movement of the machine tool, increasing the potential for expensive collisions.

EdgeCAM is designed to cope with programming the simplest to the most complex components and offers full support for the latest CAD, machine tool and tooling technology. Available worldwide, EdgeCAM is supplied and supported through a network of subsidiaries and specialist resellers
