5-Axis Milling
GibbsCAM 5-Axis Milling module achieves 5-axis motion with 2 rotary and 3 linear axes. It provides powerful programming tools to meet all the challenges of 3-, 4- and 5-axis simultaneous machining, without sacrificing ease of use.
Input is a combination of 3D wireframe geometry, solids and surfaces. GibbsCAM’s geometry creation and editing tools accommodate any modeling or editing required to prepare a part model for machining.
A robust set of multi-surface strategies supports machining a full range of uniquely shaped parts directly from the model’s surfaces. The user has full control of tool axis tilt.
Comprehensive collision control checks the tool and holder for collisions with the part and workholding devices, and automatically corrects the toolpath according to user specified parameters.
A sophisticated and powerful programming tool for any 5-axis programmer, this option is ideal for 5-axis simultaneous capable mills, mill-turns and MTM machines, and also a very good solution for 4-axis machines when working directly from solids and surfaces.
Automatic deburring creates toolpaths on the outer edges of a part‘s geometry. This process can dramatically increase productivity and quality, eliminating much manual work.
The integration of 5-Axis Milling with GibbsCAM MTM options supports the most advanced multi-task machines with live tooling on articulated heads. With its breadth of capability and ease of use, GibbsCAM 5-Axis Milling simplifies 5-axis programming and improves machining efficiency with better surface finish and faster throughput.
