BobCAD-CAM, our 2D & 3D CAD-CAM, offers powerful and easy to use toolpath capabilities that help shops of all sizes improve production. Learn more about the BobCAD-CAM 4 Axis Pro features HERE.ĭownload free CAD-CAM Software for 4 Axis CNC Machining HERE.Machine more parts, faster and easier, for less. Job Setup Sheets can also be generated automatically to aid in the process. This includes other benefits such as Cycle Time calculations and full machine simulation using the CNC machines kinematics. Not to mention that the CAD-CAM system offers simulation functionality as well which allows the operator/machinist to simulate the machining toolpath. BobCAD-CAM 4 Axis Mill Pro software is a great solution to 4th Axis simultaneous CNC part programming. Then you can index to the next fixed location and repeat until all the features of the parts are machined successfully. Once you have positioned the part at the proper angle or index position, your ready to perform 2 or 3 Axis milling operations.
Allowing you to machine 2 or more facing of your part in a single setup, huge time saver! Instead of have to manual flip a part in a face to machine on a different face of your part, you can index the part and continue machining as needed. Using a 4th axis instantly increases the access to your parts faces. Because you are holding the part in your 4th axis you have 360 degrees of rotation at your fingertips, allowing you to change the part orientation at will.
The rotation angle of your 4th axis is the “index”. This is where you rotate the part to a fixed posting with your 4th axis. Having a CAM system is crucial to fully unlock your 4th axis allowing you to quickly program these simple yet complex part programs. Most applications for a 4th Axis machining is indexing, but axis substitution also known as 4 axis wrapping and rotary machining are common as well. Adding a 4th Axis Indexer or Rotary Table to your CNC Vertical VMC or CNC Horizontal mill HMC can also be a huge asset to your shop for many reasons, one of which is increasing your output by reducing setups.īeing able to machine on more than 1 side of the part in a single setup is where the efficiency beings. Using CAD-CAM software for 4 Axis CNC machining will give manufacturing an advantage for these types of rotary and indexed parts.
