Delcam to Show Machining and Inspection Software to the Oil Industry
Delcam will demonstrate the latest versions of its PowerMILL and FeatureCAM CAM software on booth 5231 at the Go Expo to be held at Stampede Park, Calgary, from June 12th to 14th. These two programs give Delcam the ability to provide solutions to companies looking for a programming system for mills, mill/turns, lathes or wire EDM equipment. In addition, Delcam will show its hardware-independent inspection software, PowerINSPECT. With these programs, Delcam is placed to help oil industry companies to improve their productivity.
The latest release of PowerMILL includes new and improved functionality for roughing and finishing with both three-axis and five-axis machines. The enhancements include a wider range of five-axis strategies for both roughing and finishing, including the ability to generate a five-axis toolpath from any three-axis toolpath, three-axis swarf machining and parametric surface finishing. Together with Delcam's CAD system PowerSHAPE, a complete solution is available to set up work planes, check alignments and repair or create models for manufacture.
FeatureCAM includes major enhancements to the software's automatic feature-recognition functionality and additions to its range of 3D machining strategies that help reduce calculation speeds and improve surface finish. In addition, creation and editing of toolpaths has been made quicker, easier and more flexible.
The latest version of the PowerINSPECT includes support for multi-axis On-Machine Verification and improved ease of use. The multi-axis option for On-Machine Verification will allow companies with four-, five- or six-axis equipment to undertake comprehensive verification of their parts on more complex machine tools, both during and after machining. The main advantage of the new option will be the ability to check undercut regions, without any need to re-position the workpiece.
