Rotary Milling increases the productivity of GibbsCAM Production Milling with support for continuous rotary machining. Readily program rotary contouring, pocketing, threading, and engraving as wrapped tool path with continuous rotary motion. Capabilities also include face and OD milling for mill/turn and multi-task machines.
An ideal choice for threading, engraving and the machining of parts defined with flat geometry, such as industrial roller dies or tool centerline grooves, Rotary Milling works best for parts which can be made with the tool on centerline. CNC Polar and Cylindrical Interpolation output is supported to produce optimal multi-revolution output on a single G-code line.
Wrap any shape or text around a cylindrical part via rotary axis interpolation. Start with flat geometry or text and then wrap it around a defined diameter or switch to radial mode to create geometry directly in its wrapped position. Rotary Milling works great for repeated patterns. Simply define the initial pattern and then enter the number of times to reproduce it around the diameter. |

GibbsCAM TMS (Tombstone Management System)
Tombstones are a very productive means for machining multiple parts, greatly extending the time a machining system can run without operator intervention. GibbsCAM TMS (Tombstone Management System) streamlines multi-part setups to move more material through a center tool while dramatically reducing the overall time required to create error-free machining processes.
Is it more efficient to keep the tool in the spindle manufacturers and index around the tombstone or would it be better to finish all operations on one face of the tombstone before indexing to the next? GibbsCAM TMS makes it easy to try a variety of strategies to find the optimal strategy for any group of parts.
Perfect for lean manufacturing environments, or for job shops that want to implement lean principles, tombstone machining automates the output of a continuous flow of parts. The simplest strategy is to arrange the same part across multiple locations and sides of a tombstone and machine them one after the other by simply repeating the CNC program. With each rotation of the tombstone, a fresh group of parts is presented for machining.
With only a few mouse clicks, parts and their associated fixtures are located on the tombstone. GibbsCAM TMS offers numerous options for automatically arranging parts on a tombstone face with the choice of duplicating the same configuration on all faces of the tombstone or creating custom configurations for each face.
For parts that require different operations using a variety of tools, a more complex strategy can be defined that optimizes tool changes and minimizes rotations of the tombstone. Different faces of the same part can be programmed, at different Z-levels, on each side of the tombstone or mix different types of parts. GibbsCAM TMS handles the simplest to the most complex tombstone configurations.
Operations can be added or cleared to modify the sequence of operations on each side of the tombstone to accommodate certain exceptions. For example, features can be selectively excluded on the sides of parts that face other workpieces instead of the open side of the tombstone where the spindle can reach. These operations can then be addressed later in another setup. Separate clearance values control the safe distance for the tool when moving from part to part on one face of the tombstone and the safe distance when indexing from face to face on the tombstone.
When GibbsCAM TMS is combined with GibbsCAM Machine Simulation, a dynamic rendering of the complete setup-tombstone, parts, fixtures, and machine tool component-shows all inter-operation and intra-operation moves. Different strategies and their cycle times can be compared and adjusted quickly and easily.
After various scenarios have been tested and the user is completely satisfied with tool movement, tool changes, sequence of operations and index moves, GibbsCAM TMS will generate a complete post processed set of G-code for the entire tombstone of parts. GibbsCAM TMS also provides support for the posted output of subroutines, canned cycles, and B-rotation positions. |

And GibbsCAM's industry leading ease-of-use makes working with solids straight forward and understandable. With GibbsCAM 2.5D Solid's powerful solid modeling tools, you'll be able to take full advantage of solid modeling technology.
Import and Repair Surface Models
Even with the transition to solids, CAD systems are still generating surface models that need to be imported and machined. With GibbsCAM 2.5D Solids you can read in surface models and then repair any problems you encounter with a broad range of surface modeling tools. You can also create your own surfaces for machining. If you still work with surface models, GibbsCAM 2.5D Solids can still cut your jobs and provide a great migration path to solids-based machining.
Automatic Solidification
With GibbsCAM 2.5D Solids, you don't have to start with solid models to take advantage of solids-based machining. Surface models, whether imported or created, can be automatically stitched together to create solid models which can then be further modified using GibbsCAM's solid modeling tools or machined directly. GibbsCAM 2.5D Solids provides you with the tools you need to transition from surface-based to solids-based CAM.
Directly Machine 2.5D Solids
Not only do solid models provide considerable advantages during design, but solid models also have many advantages during machining. GibbsCAM 2.5D Solids' machining functionalities were developed to not only allow users to directly machine solids, but to specifically take advantage of the additional information available in solids resulting in improved performance, reliability and efficiency.
Solids Positioning Tools
Since solid models are the main building block within GibbsCAM 2.5D Solids, powerful positioning tools are supplied to allow you to quickly and easily yet precisely position and orient solids. Not only are these tools extremely useful when modeling a single part made up of multiple pieces, but they can significantly streamline setting up part models in fixturing. With GibbsCAM 2.5D solids you can focus on how things need to be placed, not how to calculate the rotations and transformations to get them there.
Interactive Feature Recognition (Profiler)
Identifying the manufacturable features in a part is a common starting point for a program. The Profiler, an innovative interface to interactively define features like bosses, slots, and pockets, is included in GibbsCAM 2.5D Solids. Unlike automatic feature recognition, the Profiler gives the user complete control over the geometric elements which are included in a feature. The Profiler can also interactively derive geometry which is used for machining. GibbsCAM 2.5D Solids' robust feature-based machining provides the user with powerful programming tools.
Automatic Feature Recognition (Holes)
Hole-making occupies close to 80% of machining time with most production machining jobs. Holes also represent a significant amount of programming time in production parts. Fortunately, holes are also fairly well-behaved features in solid models. GibbsCAM 2.5D Solids provides an automatic feature recognition (AFR) capability that identifies holes along with their position and orientation, and also determines various hole aspects (chamfer, counter-sink/bore, bottom condition) based on the hole's geometry. Leveraging GibbsCAM 2.5D Solids' AFR capability you can improve your hole-making efficiency and quality.
Hole Manager
With hole-making occupying close to 80% of production parts' machining time how you identify, group and program holes becomes extremely important. GibbsCAM 2.5D Solids provides the Hole Manager as a front-end to processing hole features. The Hole Manager professional displays the parameters of holes allowing you to group them for processing. The Hole AFR is integrated with the Hole Manager allowing automatically identified hole features to be directly loaded into it. The Hole Wizard is similarly integrated allowing hole information to be directly passed for automatic tooling and toolpath generation. With GibbsCAM 2.5D Solids your hole-making productivity is streamlined and overall quality is improved. |
