Standard 5 Axis Simultaneous Features

Enabling the finishing of complex forms using only a single machining setup, Pictures by PC offers best in class 5 axis simultaneous finishing techniques. Highlights include for example swarf cutting, contour orientated finishing and interactive control over tool orientation. In addition to the standard machining strategies, all customers receive the following:

  • Free Support direct with our development team;
  • No Yearly Maintenance Costs;
  • Free Standard Post Processors;

Standard Feature Overview

5 Axis Surface Normal milling is ideal for finishing chamfers, as the tool remains perpendicular to the surface being cut.

5 Axis Side Facing uses the side face of the tool to finish features that incorporate long thin end faces, such as conic or tapered surfaces.

5 Axis Swarf Cutting combines the side facing operation with a depth increment to machine features with tapered side walls.

5 Axis Cutting is ideal for the cutting out of vacuum formed parts, with full control for optimising the tool orientation.

4-5 Axis Rotary Cutting  continually rotates the part while at the same time progressing the tool along the part using a specified stepover.

5 Axis Contour Orientated  finishing generates toolpaths that are harmoniously offset between two or more guide curves.

5 Axis Lace Cutting produces parallel toolpaths in a single direction that are projected onto the 5 axis part. 

5 Axis Engraving enables the 5 axis simultaneous engraving and carving projected from 2D text and logos.

5 Axis Projection is used to wrap machining onto surfaces with double curvature to generate 5 axis tool paths.

4 Axis Cylindrical Finishing  machines a rotary component longitudinally, indexing the part after each completed toolpath.

Direction Vectors enable the tool orientation to be manually adjusted to facilitate the machining of inaccessible areas.

Direction Vector Only enables the generation of 5 axis toolpaths using only curves and direction vectors, without the need for a 3D model.     

5 Axis Slot Machining enables the roughing and finishing of 5 axis slots using just a slot profile and center guide curve.

5 Axis Z Constant Machining facilitates the finishing of steep walls with a set tool inclination angle.

Multi-Threading  reduces tool path calculation times by up to 60% with multiple processors.

NC Code Generation  is automatic when using one of the many standard post processors. 

NC Work Sheets  provide operators with information such as tooling, operations and machining times.
 

 

Additional Standard Features  

Freeform Feature Recognition
Feature recognition automatcially identifies areas of a model to machine with a specific 5 axis strategy.
Ready Made Strategies
Ready made CAM strategies enable the user to instantly apply preferred methods of machining.
Post Processor Generator
The post processor generator is a tool for experienced users to create and modify post processors.

Feed and Speed Calculator
Correct feeds and speeds can be calculated depending upon factors such as feed per tooth.

Free Software Support
All customers receive free software support directly with our software development team.

No Yearly Maintenance Costs
There are absolutely no yearly maintenance costs attached to any of our CAD/CAM solutions.
