Description
CAMWorks for SolidWorks Overview
CAM(Computer Aided Manufacturing)Works is a module for creating control programs for CNC machines.
Programming milling, turning, turning-milling and wire erosion machining using the CAMWorks module.
CAMWorks for SolidWorks Features
* The CAMWorks module allows you to create programs for milling, turning, turn-milling and wire EDM. The following machine types are supported: Milling with simultaneous control of two to five axes;
* Single- and dual-spindle turning machines, with one or two carriages, with software-controlled auxiliary mechanisms (tailstocks, steady rests, parts catchers, etc.);
* Single- and dual-spindle turning and milling machines, with one or two carriages, with software-controlled auxiliary mechanisms, with simultaneous control of two to five axes;
* Two- and four-axis EDM machines.
The machining is carried out directly in the SolidWorks environment and directly according to the SolidWorks model. The results of the programmer’s work are saved in the same SolidWorks model of the part or assembly. This ensures full associativity of the model and tool paths, which leads to automatic updating of all tool paths when changes are made to the model. When adding any process data to the SolidWorks model, such as roughness designations, bases, shape and surface location tolerances, dimensional tolerances, the process programmer always has direct access to them, which simplifies the selection of the part basing scheme on the machine and the selection of the tool and cutting modes necessary to ensure the specified quality of the part. The part can be easily adapted to the needs of machining by, for example, eliminating unnecessary geometric elements from the point of view of machining or by recalculating the executive dimensions of the model to the middle of the tolerance field. In the SolidWorks assembly mode, you can perform joint processing of several parts, program the processing of a series of parts, or simply completely simulate the entire real situation on the machine table – all equipment, a workpiece of any complexity, and so on – for the most complete consideration of the processing realities already at the earliest stages of program creation.
