CAM Compatibility
Many control systems on the market have some kind of CAM capability, but some are more trouble than they’re worth. All CAD geometry is eventually reduced to a triangulated surface in order to generate CAM data for a control.
The quality of the surface depends on the resolution of the triangles. The control then has to deal with the problem of cutting to a tolerance from whatever CAM data it receives.
There are three components that impact CAM data quality—which ultimately affects surface finish:
* uniformity of segments: whether the segments are uniformly distributed along the contour
* segment angles: the changes in the angle between segments
* data resolution: whether the resolution of the data points introduces computational errors
If you loosen the tolerance when you generate the CAM data, the segments will deviate further from the ideal curve.
Since the Hurco DXF Transfer is transforming the geometry into a conversational program, there is practically no loss of data. The Hurco control interpolates arcs and provides a parameter that lets the programmer define the chordal deviation for this type of interpolation.
When you simply have a 2D CAD design, use Hurco’s DXF Transfer feature to easily import your CAD image into Hurco’s control to create any 2D contour, frames, circles, and simple 3D contours from 2D geometry that can be translated or rotated about an axis. You can also program hole locations.

ESPRIT's high-speed machining (HSM) functionality is built into all its machining cycles allowing you to cut hardened materials in minimal time while maintaining constant loads on cutting tools utilizing the smooth, continuous movements so critical in 3D HSM. Your choices include sharp corner smoothing, loop-style bridge movements, ramp and helical entry into material, spiral-style cutting with constant overlaps, tangency entry, and constant Z-level cutting. HSM optimization for NURBS, spline-curve and arc-optimized G-code output is built into ESPRIT's universal post processor.
Z-Level Machining
ESPRIT's Z-level machining cycle automatically maintains constant loads on cutting tools for smooth, continuous high-speed toolpaths.

SICUBE®
DESCRIPTION
3-dimensional laser cutting technology.
SICUBE is a system that enables 5 and 6 axis continuous laser cutting machines to be operated automatically. When combined with SI[CAD], SICUBE enables three-dimensional model mathematics to be imported and modified or completely recreated. Here the term mathematics refers to shapes on which cutting paths can be generated.
By means of a high precision analysis of the surfaces and curves to be cut, the system decides the beginning and ending procedures and moves the laser cutting head to a perpendicular position above the relative points on the cutting path, defining the technological laser parameters on the basis of the work rules set by the user.
The program guarantees a risk free cutting path thanks to a monitoring module as well as specifically checking for possible collisions between the laser head and parts of the piece to be cut or any securing tools that may be used to hold the piece in place. A dynamic simulation of the workpiece, the securing system and the laser head including highlights of the 5-axis head rotation can also be viewed before the part program to be used is generated on the machine computer.
FEATURES
SICUBE consists of the following modules:
- SI[CAD]: 3D geometry
- Advanced modeller: surface modeller
- SICUT3: 5/6 axis laser cutting technology
- PostProcessor: ISO code generator
