PartMaker applies a Patented "divide and conquer" programming strategy to simplify the programming of CNC Swiss-Type Lathes. The software helps the operator break a complicated part surface into a set of planes or faces. Machining tasks, such as turning, plane milling and cylinder milling are carried out separately for each face in an intuitive manner.
A patented visual programming approach assures quicker learning and ease of use. PartMaker supports virtually all CNC Swiss-type lathe models on the market including machines from Citizen, Star, Tornos, Tsugami and others. To learn more about specific machines supported, please see the compatibility chart below or visit our Gallery of Parts.

FeatureTURN
FeatureTURN includes the following features for part creation.
- Holes - You can create a variety of hole types aligned with the part's Z-axis. Simply enter hole dimensions to create any common hole type including counter-sink, counter-bore, reamed or tapped.
- Facing Feature - To face off the part, you simply enter the cut thickness and two diameter values.
- OD Turning Feature - You can create outer turning features from any two-dimensional geometry or curves. Round tool roughing is supported and you have precise control of entry and exit.
- ID Boring Feature - Bores are created from simple two-dimensional geometry or curves.
- Groove Feature - OD, ID and face grooves are created from curves or by entering dimensions that describe the groove's shape.
- Thread Feature - Both OD and ID threading features can easily be created from dimensional data. Tapered threads are supported and relief grooves can be conveniently generated within the thread feature. 2006 You can also thread along a form shape.
- Cutoff Feature - Cutoff feature includes optional chamfer and part catcher control.
- Bar feed feature - FeatureTURN provides support for both bar feeders and bar pullers..
- Sub-spindle Feature - FeatureTURN supports machines with sub-spindles.
FeatureTURN/MILL
FeatureTURN/MILL is an extension of FeatureTURN and incorporates both FeatureTURN and FeatureMILL2.5D With FeatureTURN/MILL, turning features and milling features can be conveniently ordered together in a single setup.
FeatureTURN/MILL provides several capabilities, including:
- Support for lathes with C and Y axis milling capabilities and sub-spindles.
- Drilling or milling features can be positioned on the face or on the OD of the part, and are easily programmed with the FeatureTURN/MILL feature wizard.
- FeatureTURN/MILL contains all the milling features of FeatureMILL2.5D, including holes, slots, pockets, grooves, sides and patterns.
- Milling features can be created on the OD and then wrapped around the lathe's Z-axis. This process takes the Y moves of a milling feature and translates them into C-axis rotations.
- Simulations accurately reflect the rotation of the part during machining so that you can verify precise toolpaths on your computer.
- Polar interpolation can be performed by FeatureTURN/MILL or by the control.
- FeatureTURN/MILL includes the same post processing capabilities as FeatureMILL2.5D and FeatureTURN. You simply create your features and let FeatureTURN/MILL take care of the NC code details.

PartMaker/Turn-Mill performs a full set of lathe operations: facing, turning, grooving and threading. Operations being performed simultaneously by seperate turrets or on separate spindles can easily be synchronized by just pointing clicking. PartMaker generates edit-free G-code programs with "Wait" or "Sync" codes automatically inserted. Index Milling/Drilling on the end of the part and on the outside diameter are included among the product's standard components.
Additional Milling capabilities of the software can be ranked in the order of sophistication as following: Polar Milling with X Tool, Polar Milling with Z Tool and XZC Continuous Milling on a Cylindrical surface. Another option is XYZC Milling for machines equipped with the Y-axis.
PartMaker allows you to take full advantage of the full range of your machines capabilities. PartMaker will save you money by decreasing both programming and cycle times. It will also let you program more complex parts than you could without it.

Exceptionally accurate, reliable, productive... but also noiseless
The multi-spindle loader of the "STANDARD" series by Pietro Cucchi are by now recognized and highly regarded all over the world. They were the first to introduce a series of advantages, combining accuracy, reliability, high production rates, and noiselessness. They experienced a continuous progress thanks to research and the introduction of a series of pioneering features which have confirmed their success year after year:
- The stock reel and the lathe feeding system have been completely removed
to turn the machine into a wholly automatic loader.
- Removal of the feed fingers and consequent increase in the machining
capacity of the lathe.
- Bar feeding is performed by using a hydraulic motor for each spindle.
A hydraulic distributor controls the flow of each motor, allowing feeding
in multiple positions simultaneously.
- Reduction of loading times down to 18", thanks to complete automation with an increase in lathe productivity by up to 45%, without the need of limiting the spindle rotation speed or setting the drum indexing speed.
- The use of die-cast components made of a particularly resistant and
soundproofing synthetic resin in the bar guide drum allowed for a remarkable reduction in vibrations and the noise generated by the rotating bars.
The choice (upon request) of the latest Pietro Cucchi innovations - rotating centring devices, automatic spring bushes and fork centring devices - further adds to this benefit.
|

Quality by Pietro Cucchi in a compact size
The revolution brought about in the bar loading phase by a series of mechanical innovations led to the creation of the "COMPACT" loader, which compared to the "STANDARD" models boasts the considerable advantage of carrying out the same machining operations in less space. Now our clients can freely choose the solution best suited for their working needs, without forgoing quality and flexibility, with all the innovations and inventions developed by Pietro Cucchi within this system: centring devices, spring bushes and also bar bundle loading that guarantee the highest level of automation in the loader feeding phase, where high production rates are required.
