Safe Retract controls have been added to the inspection cycles, for users to state multiple positions while controlling the probeвЂ™s movement. The вЂњProbing OptionsвЂќВ menu has been split into two separate dialogs, meaning users can concentrate on Output and Inspect preferences individually. The overall interface has been upgraded to adopt the work-flow ribbon toolbar, improving interactivity. Moving on to EDGECAM Inspect, brand manager for Research and Development Andy Mears says developers have responded to customer requests by expanding the ability of Inspect components in both the Turning and Mill-Turn environments. This does away with the need to create custom graphics for them.

Two new tool types-Dovetail, and Double Angle-have been added to the Toolstore. In the Finish Turning cycle a вЂњstand offвЂќВ value can now be defined when using вЂUp CutвЂ™ control.ДЄn XY Offset can be set when deploying the Hole CycleвЂ™s вЂHelicalвЂ™ strategy, allowing users to control both surface finish and tool wear. In previous EDGECAM releases, the break angle was set at 45В degrees. When using the Finish Grooving cycle, users can now control the вЂњBreak EdgeвЂќВ angle. Coupled with that, a new вЂQuill Command (Move menu)В offers greater control when commanding the second working axis. This supports multi-task machine, along with any combination of Table/Head Milling machines.

Supporting the growing number of machine tools possessing an вЂњAuxiliary ZвЂќВ (Quill), EDGECAM 2020.0 introduces a Code Wizard enhancement, letting users add a secondary working spindle.

Under certain conditions, a toolpath can generate a thin island of material (chip), which, as it gets thinner can cause machining stresses, and potentially break the tool. The Waveform Machining Strategy has been enhanced with вЂњChip PreventionвЂќВ control. вЂњThe cycle provides both roughing and finishing strategies, allowing users to specify their own thread forms.вЂќ вЂњReacting to a high frequency of enhancement requests from customers in this area, EDGECAM 2020.0 allows users to effortlessly machine complex form threads such as VAM and Acme,вЂќ says Buehler. The Turning environment offers a new machining cycle-Thread Profiling. The original modifiers have been improved, and further control tabs have been added to the cycle. вЂњEssentially, the machining engine will only compute data constrained within the boundary, ignoring the rest of the model,вЂќ says Hexagon brand manager John Buehler.В вЂњThis significantly decreases the cache size, while generating faster toolpaths.вЂќДЇormerly introduced in the Hole cycle in the 2018 R1 release, the вЂњDeep HoleвЂќ strategy has been enhanced. And the recently introduced EDGECAM Inspect module includes 13 upgrades.Д®DGECAM 2020.0 offers a performance boost when either roughing or profiling a solid model. EDGECAM 2020.0В HighlightsДЄs well as the new вЂњside tilt by contact pointвЂќВ capability, the Advanced 5-axis cycle also offers further gouge checking in the Swarf command, along with extra вЂњinkвЂќ control in all strategies.ДЄ number of new and enhanced features in EDGECAM 2020.0 provide increased productivity for both milling and turning users.

The introduction of a specific 5-axis вЂTiltвЂ™ control strategy, combined with a вЂњBarrel Cutter,вЂќВ may be the most significant enhancement in the latest release of EDGECAM, from Hexagon Manufacturing IntelligenceвЂ™s Production Software division, the company reports.В Barrel cutters are recognised as one of the fastest tools when 5-axis machining, and are now fully supported in the EDGECAM Toolstore.
