United Kingdom: CAM software enhances productivity and efficiency.Byline: Mamta03 Planit's latest release of Edgecam, the company's CAM cam, mechanical device cam, mechanical device for converting a rotating motion into a reciprocating, or back-and-forth, motion, or for changing a simple motion into a complex one. software for the production engineering industry, is claimed to deliver significant productivity and efficiency gains. Edgecam is said to offer class-leading Automatic Feature Recognition that enables efficient toolpath generation from imported models; the latest release extends this powerful functionality with the ability to recognise an increased number of features, including any area that has multiple open sides. Full properties of the features - including depth, radius/chamfer and minimum/maximum XY radius - enables users to select appropriate tooling and cycle parameters with ease. Known as Edgecam 2010 R1, the latest version provides increased efficiency through enhancements to its comprehensive machining cycles. Improved stock awareness of machining cycles removes the need to set boundaries manually; this enhancement not only increases the efficiency of generating a toolpath, but also increases the efficiency of the toolpath itself. Utilising Edgecam's proven helical helical /hel·i·cal/ (hel´i-k'l) spiral (1). hel·i·cal adj. 1. Of or having the shape of a helix; spiral. 2. Having a shape approximating that of a helix. technology, a number of customer-driven enhancements have been delivered to Edgecam's powerful Thread Milling Cycle. One such enhancement includes cutter cutter, small, one-masted sailing vessel, with a rig similar to that of a sloop except that it usually has a sliding bowsprit and a topmast. From 1800 to 1830 cutters were in service between England and France. radius compensation that enables users to align align (  līn),v to move the teeth into their proper positions to conform to the line of occlusion. the tool selected offline with the tool to be used on the shop floor - for example, users can make adjustments in the CAM environment to allow for tool wear so as to improve precision. Finish Turning Cycles have also seen development. Recognising stock material enables users to develop tool paths more efficiently. A new 'peck across' option has been added to the Rough Grooving Cycle. The new feature is designed to improve material removal rate and prolong pro·long tr.v. pro·longed, pro·long·ing, pro·longs 1.

A new graphical interface See GUI. for all turning operations ensures the significant technical enhancements are intuitive and easy to use.

The latest version of Edgecam's Part Modeller also provides users with significant functionality enhancements. Delivering cost effective and powerful 3D modelling capabilities, Part Modeller enables users to create or modify 3D models with ease. Detail View provides a scaled-up balloon balloon, lighter-than-air craft without a propulsion system, lifted by inflation of one or more containers with a gas lighter than air or with heated air. During flight, altitude may be gained by discarding ballast (e.g. view of a model, giving users the ability to examine any part of a model and highlight specific details that will be key in the manufacturing or assembly process.
