CNC Releases Mastercam X4 Lathe
 TOLLAND,
CT, Nov 24, 2009 – Mastercam X4 Lathe is here with a new suite of CAD/CAM tools focused on
delivering speed and efficiency for your machining jobs. From roughing and
finishing to easy grooving and threading, Mastercam Lathe has been designed to
reduce programmer interaction and increase machining flexibility.
Mastercam Lathe has multiple grooving styles, including angular part
modeling
Mastercam’s streamlined CAD engine makes design work easier than ever
before. Each piece of geometry you create is “live,” letting you quickly
modify it until it’s exactly what you want.
Precise Turning
Mastercam X4 Lathe delivers a streamlined set of programming tools,
including:
- “Quick Toolpaths” for programming parts with just a few clicks.
- Optimized facing including roughing and finishing.
- Complete threading with multiple starts, diameter calculation, and
user customizable thread tables.
- In addition to turning, full 3- to 5-axis milling, including
machines with B-axis tooling arms.
- Grooving with multiple depth cuts and pecking.
- Easily assign groove depth, width, wall angles, corner radius,
chamfer, and corner dwells.
- Stock recognition for optimized turning toolpaths with minimal user
interaction.
- Comprehensive lead-in/lead-out controls minimize the need to modify
the CAD model to control tool motion.
- Steady rest option supports long work pieces, minimizing deflection
from tool pressure and material weight.
Full C-axis machining when combined with Mastercam Mill
Designed for Ease
- Fully associative toolpaths are linked with your geometry. Modify
any element of the job and immediately get updated toolpaths without
starting over.
- Mastercam’s CAD File Change Recognition tracks files from Mastercam
or any other CAD system and will show you what’s been changed for easy
toolpath updating.
- Comprehensive insert libraries including Sandvik, Kennametal, Iscar,
and Valentine.
- See your part as it will come off the machine with solid model
toolpath verification.
