Vero Software's WorkNC CAM will be featured June 17-18 at Amerimold 2015, hosted at the Donald E. Stephens Center in Rosemont, IL.
"Visitors to Amerimold will be among the first to see WorkNC Version 24, featuring multiple upgrades that make the programming process easier than ever before. Demonstrations of the software's capabilities will be available at the WorkNC booth," said a company spokesperson.
Rapid and Automatic Programming
WorkNC V24 includes enhancements to its Rest Material Display function, which has been transformed into an analysis tool that helps CAM programmers reduce machining preparation time. The upgraded function is designed to enable users to rapidly evaluate various amounts of rest material left on any given model according to user-defined color ranges.
This version offers a new collision-detection algorithm with faster calculation abilities that takes into account the machine, the toolpath and the clamping system.
Safe and Reliable Toolpath
"WorkNC V24 features enhanced toolpath safety. In 3-axis and 3+2-axis machining modes the WorkNC collision detection module will designate the shortest possible cutter that can be used for any given operation. For 5-axis machining the Auto5 module will determine the best possible conditions for a user-defined cutting tool. Special attention has been given to machining with small cutters to optimize cutting conditions for features such as ribs and narrow slots," said the spokesperson.
High-Performance Machining
According to the company, WorkNC toolpaths undergo regular and comprehensive reviews to ensure that users benefit from the most efficient algorithms and the latest machining technologies. Re-machining strategies have been revamped in Version 24. This has been achieved by obtaining greater precision in detecting the areas, both vertical and planar, to be re-machined.
Z-Level machining is used on vertical areas and planar surfaces are machined using contouring strategies. The new variable Z-step option is designed to generate smoother trajectories and enhanced optimization, offering improved surface-finish quality and further gains in productivity.
New CAD Features
Additional STL file-processing options are a new feature of WorkNC V24. An intelligent function based on the detection and organization of specific feature zones allows different elements to be grouped together. It is designed to facilitate machining portions of the STL model or creating curves from the STL model.
