ESPRIT 2008 by DP Technology to be Exhibited at Gosigerfest 2007, Oct. 3-4, 2007

ESPRIT 2008 computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) software will be exhibited by CAM industry leader DP Technology at Gosigerfest 2007, presented Oct. 3-4 by Gosiger, Inc. - maker of machine tools and factory automation equipment - in Dayton, OH.

Opportunities for one-on-one demonstrations and presentations of new features available within the latest generation of the product will be made available at the show, where an estimated 600 guests are expected to turn out to see the latest in new technologies.

Upgrades featured in ESPRIT 2008 include turning stock automation for lathes, open-pocket milling, EDM machine specific machining technology, improved 3D machining performance, B-axis turning for 5-axis mill-turn machines, and more. Machines on display in conjunction with ESPRIT 2008 will be those built by Okuma, Kira, Nomura and Accutex and include the Okuma ESL-8, Kira KPC-30a and Nomura SB5, among several others.

ESPRIT FX, feature exchange, has been enhanced in 2008 to improve the direct exchange of the part geometry and the CAD feature tree. Using the CAD feature tree inside the ESPRIT CAM system makes the programming process faster and more accurate because the CNC programmer has a more accurate description of the work piece to be machined. For 2008, the ESPRIT KnowledgeBase manager has been simplified to provide greater ease of use. The KnowledgeBase user interfaces have been centralized in one location to make it easier to manage all of the data in the database. The single, consistent user interface allows users to access all the data from one central location, such as the processes, materials and cutting tools, and context-sensitive commands are available with a right-click of the mouse.

Among enhancements to be demonstrated at the show and available in ESPRIT 2008 are significant improvements for milling, turning and wire EDM programming. In addition to increasing the performance of the CAM software, the upgrades reduce the time required to produce part programs while increasing the quality of those programs and helping to reduce machining cycle times.
