“We are committed to developing and adapting the best technologies for our customers, so they can achieve the efficiency that combined technology can provide,” says Bill Gibbs, Gibbs and Associates company founder and president. “In continuation of this effort, we are very happy to have worked with Celeritive Technologies to integrate their software, and very pleased with the productivity our customers are gaining from the integration of VoluMill and GibbsCAM.”

VoluMill works on all solid, surface, and wireframe models, and any combination of part and stock boundaries. It supports an unlimited number of islands, tapered walls, variable pocket depths, and variable island heights. Some of its important features are:

• Programmed Rate of Material Removal to keep tool and work piece temperature consistent, and to dissipate heat with chips
• Automatic Feedrate Adjustment and Automatic Depth of Cut to maintain programmed material removal rate; eliminate excessive material conditions; and minimize tool wear, heat build up and vibration
• Smoothing Radius to maximize tool utilization, minimize cycle time and extend programming flexibility
• Contour Ramping to maximize material removal in tight areas, with safe access, while minimizing cycle time
• High Speed Repositioning to maximize machine utilization and minimize cycle time
