Lathe

LatheAdvanced Turning
The Alphacam Advanced Turning module is the ideal CAD/CAM system for machine shops and subcontractors. It offers considerable potential for programming numerically controlled lathes with C/Y axis and driven tooling.

New Operating Interface
The new operating interface, in a Windows compliant environment, is simple and intuitive. This makes the generation of NC code an easy task and helps to ensure the quality of the code.

The Advanced Turning module is intended to be the best compromise between performance and investment. It offers a complete list of commands for 2D design, tool path generation with 2 or 4 axis and easy management for milling operations with driven tooling.

Technical Features

CAD 2D
Two-dimensional design with commands for lines, arcs, circles, rectangles, slots and concentric holes etc.; management of layers, styles and colours; dimensioning, sectioning etc.; insertion of Windows TrueType fonts; management of work planes including non-orthogonal; spline and polyline management.

TURNING
Commands for facing, roughing, finishing, grooving, threading, parting off etc. (with or without canned cycle options).

MILLING
Driven tooling – C/Y axis – Commands for roughing, finishing, pocketing, drilling, tapping.

UTILITY
Technology archive; solid toolpath simulation.
