SCHOTT SYSTEME Support Multi-Axis Turn-Milling

SCHOTT SYSTEME Support Multi-Axis Turn-MillingGerman software manufacturer SCHOTT SYSTEME GmbH offer support for combined multi-axis turn-milling within their Pictures by PC CAD/CAM software.

Multi-axis turn-mill (C, Y and B axes) machines facilitate the machining of complex components using a single setup, and Pictures by PC offers a single working environment for fully integrated part design and machining.

The CAD module within Pictures by PC enables the 2D / 3D construction (solids, surfaces, meshes) of any type of work piece. Turning focussed CAD functions facilitate the creation of features such as thread undercuts (DIN 76 and DIN 509) and center bores (DIN 332).

Advanced Feature Recognition tools help to analyse and identify typical prismatic milling and turning features (turning contours, pockets, holes) on both Pictures by PC and imported CAD geometry (STEP, IGES, SAT). More complex geometric surfaces can also be easily identified for the machining of free-form components (e.g., Impeller Blades).

The entire spectrum of machining strategies from SCHOTT SYSTEME (drilling, turning, 2D / 3D and 5-axis simultaneous milling) are developed in-house and utilise an identical user interface. Each machining operation can be tweaked by the customer to suit their machine, materials and preferred machining methods, and saved as a ‘CAM Sequence’ for instant application on new components. Multiple operations (e.g., face turning, roughing, rest material and finish turning) can also be saved as a single CAM sequence in order to drastically reduce the programming times for complex parts. The entire range of innovative 3D and 5-axis free-form surface milling strategies makes Pictures by PC an ideal solution for machining the most complex of turn-mill components.

The range of variance of multi-axis turn-mill machines lathes should not be underestimated, therefore post-processors are individually adapted to each machine (according to the turret and spindle configurations). SCHOTT SYSTEME GmbH customers also receive free support directly from the software manufacturer.

Originally launched in 1984, Pictures by PC maintains a product continuity of over 35 years. SCHOTT SYSTEME GmbH continues to offer free software support without maintenance costs.

No Maintenance Fees Since 1984

When you purchase our Pictures by PC CAD / CAM software, you acquire a perpetual license. This means that the license can be used on a workstation with no time limit and no annual maintenance costs. The software license is linked to the computer.

 

Transparent Pricing

Straightforward pricing with no hidden costs. Post processors for standard CNC controls are free of charge and can be generated and modified by the user.

 

Free Software Support Since 1984

Our customers receive free software support via e-mail and telephone, directly from our software development team (Monday to Friday 9am to 6pm).

 

  • We have been doing CNC milling and wire erosion with Pictures by PC for almost 30 years. This software is a very solid tool with an excellent price-performance ratio. Furthermore, the free, competent and very fast support is unbeatable. The post processors can also be adapted to older or exotic controls without any problems. It is great fun to be able to work with this product from SCHOTT SYSTEME.

  • At 1st Mold, we make aluminum tools for plastic injection molding. We mill our complex and high-precision forms using Pictures by PC. What we particularly appreciate about Pictures by PC is the ability to program routines to automate the creation of milling programs. It should also be mentioned that all the software’s functions are accessible as source code so that they can also be easily adapted. The support is very competent and helps should questions about programming arise. Even with the software updates, you can see that SCHOTT SYSTEME GmbH takes user requests and information seriously and integrates them into the software.
