Vero launches WorkNC 2019 R1 which allows users to break free from previous constraints caused by tool shapes, slashing cycle times by up to 74 per cent.
WorkNC 2019 R1 adds the Z-Level pattern to the Advanced Toolform technology, allowing for tool shapes like barrels, ovals, and parabolic to be calculated over the part surfaces, including negative allowances.
Brand manager Miguel Johann says the new pattern, combined with the ability to define the slope angles that the toolpath will cut on, make this toolpath the most modern technique for part finishing.
Where before, these high feed cutters could only be used to rough or semi-finish the part, as the allowances were not constant, the constraints are now removed and WorkNC customers can reduce their finishing times by half, doubling productivity.
In extensive cutting tests that they carried out before releasing the software, gains varied from 47 per cent up to 74 per cent, depending on the individual tool and part shapes.
Another important improvement in WorkNC 2019 R1 is the strengthened link with WorkPLAN, Vero Software’s ERP solution for the mold and die market.
Miguel Johann confirms that, saying manufacturers cannot afford the inefficiency of having to retype any piece of information that is already in another part of their digital thread.
