In addition to quickly responding to customer demands, job shops can also reduce programming, tooling and production times with ShopMill version 6.4, says manufacturer Siemens.
Featuring step-by-step, onscreen programming, the software includes 3D views with simulation, including real-time simulation: an engraving cycle; an enhanced tooling list with angle head cutter definition, tap definition and Pace mill geometry; and enhanced workpiece measurements in manual mode.
Users are provided with a 3D view of the part to be cut while in simulation or real-time mode. As a result, possible machining errors can be detected relatively early, says the company.
The new engraving cycle offers the capability of engraving complex text on a radius. This single-button feature can be useful when engraving serial numbers, company names, and dates and times on cut parts.
Additionally, the software can be used in conjunction with the Sinumerik 810D or 840D while running Windows XP.
