CAM software for multi-function mill-turn machines
PartMaker Turn-Mill PartMaker

PartMaker applies a Patented "divide and conquer" programming strategy to simplify the programming of Multi-Axis Turn-Mill Centers with live-tooling. 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.
Visual programming assures quicker learning and easier use. PartMaker supports most Turn-Mill centers currently available including models from manufacturers such as Hardinge, Mazak, Mori-Seiki, Eurotech, Hitachi Seiki, Nakamura, Miyano, Okuma and others.

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.
