Planit Releases Edgecam 2010 R1
 KENT,
UK, Oct 27, 2009 - The latest release of Edgecam, Planit’s market
leading CAM software for the production engineering industry, delivers
significant productivity and efficiency gains.
Edgecam offers class-leading Automatic Feature Recognition enabling
efficient toolpath generation from imported models. The latest release
extends this powerful functionality with the ability to recognize an
increased number of features, including any area that has multiple open
sides. Full properties of the features, including depth, radius/chamfer and
min/max XY radius enables users to select appropriate tooling and cycle
parameters with ease.
2010 R1 provides increased efficiency through enhancements to its
comprehensive machining cycles. Improved stock awareness of machining cycles
removes the need to set boundaries manually; this enhancement not only
increases the efficiency of generating a toolpath, but also increases the
efficiency of the toolpath itself.
Utilizing Edgecam’s proven helical technology, a number of
customer-driven enhancements have been delivered to Edgecam’s powerful
Thread Milling Cycle. One such enhancement includes cutter radius
compensation enabling the user to align the tool selected offline with the
tool to be used on the shop floor - for example the user can make
adjustments in the CAM environment to allow for wear of a tool, providing
unrivalled precision.
Finish Turning Cycles have also seen development. Recognizing stock
material enables the user to develop tool paths more efficiently.
A new ‘peck across’ option has been added to the Rough Grooving Cycle.
The new feature is designed to improve material removal rate and prolong
tool life, ultimately helping reduce on-going costs of manufacture.
A new graphical interface for all turning Operations ensures the
significant technical enhancements are intuitive and easy to use.
Edgecam’s Strategy Manager Module enables users to create toolpaths with
maximized efficiency utilizing their own manufacturing best practice. In
2010 R1 tool selection has been enhanced within Strategy Manager, increasing
the speed at which users can generate the relevant toolpaths.
The latest version of Edgecam’s Part Modeler also provides users with
significant functionality enhancements. Delivering cost effective and
powerful 3D modeling capabilities, Part Modeler enables users to create or
modify 3D models with ease.
Detail View provides a scaled up balloon view of a model, giving users
the ability to easily examine any part of a model and highlight specific
details that will be key in the manufacturing or assembly process.
A new ‘feature annotation’ function expands Part Modeler’s comprehensive
design capabilities, enabling users to extract design data such as
tolerances and apply them automatically to the drawing with ease.
Edgecam 2010 R1 supports Windows 7, the much anticipated operating system
from Microsoft.
Edgecam 2010 R1 delivers a new Code Wizard for the Siemens 840D ShopMill,
a CNC system enjoying increasing global popularity. Complete with configured
post processor template, reducing time required to compile the machine and
Siemens specific cycle, 2010 R1 enables users to get the most from their
machine tool investment.
