Delcam to Show World's Most Comprehensive CAM Range to the Oil Industry
Delcam will demonstrate the latest versions of its milling software PowerMILL and FeatureCAM at the Oil Sands Trade show in Edmonton, Alberta, on September 19th and 20th.
The Oil Sands Trade Show & Conference is a 2-day event that unveils the latest technology, products and services available in the industry. Over 8,000 registered attendees from countries across the globe are expected to gather to network, discuss and view innovative advances, discuss investment opportunities, and learn about project updates in the Athabasca Oil Sands.
Delcam's CAM programs offer the ability to provide solutions to any company looking for manufacturing software for the programming of mills, mill/turns, lathes or wire EDM. In addition, Delcam develops the hardware-independent inspection software, PowerINSPECT. With these programs Delcam is placed to help oil industry companies to improve their efficiency.
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.
FeatureCAM includes major enhancements to the software's automatic feature recognition functionality and additions to its range of 3D machining strategies that help improve calculation speeds and surface finish. In addition, creation and editing of toolpaths has been made quicker, easier and more flexible.
This new 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 allows 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.
