Edgecam offers a wide range of 4 and 5-Axis strategies applicable to solids and surface geometry:
-
SWARF cutting for machining of variable taper walls
-
5-Axis finishing across multiple surfaces, with control over
lead/lag and side tilt angles -
5-Axis profile machining for slotting, de-flashing and
trimming of sheet forms - Full support for all common tool profiles, including lollipop cutters
4-Axis
Edgecam’s 4-Axis strategies are ideal for the rotary machining of automotive and aerospace components such as camshafts, crankshafts and blades, as well as the production of rotary dies and components for the oil & gas industry. A range of advanced options provide complete tool control.
Machine simulation for safe operation
Accurate machine simulation is critically important with multi-axis machining, as small changes in tool orientation can lead to significant rotary movement of the cutting tool - with the associated risk of collisions or surface marking of the finished component.
Edgecam’s 4 and 5-Axis modules include full machinesimulation to aid visualisation of the machining process. The complete machine tool and all moveable axes may be modelled and incorporated within the interactive machining simulation, helping to ensure fast and safe process optimisation.
