Leverage the flexible turning solution to quickly program simpler jobs as well as the most challenging multi-spindle, multi-turret applications. Program A-axis and B-axis turning operations.
Program advanced turning operations
Use either 2D part profiles or full solid models to program roughing, multiple pass finishing, grooving, thread cutting and centerline drilling operations. Innovative turning methods, such as PrimeTurning, can accelerate machining and improve productivity by up to 50%.
Automatically track turning volumes with the In-Process Workpiece (IPW) technology, enabling 3D visualization and efficient handling of design changes.
Design with integrated CAD
Model parts, blanks, fixtures and complete machine setups using integrated CAD for modeling and assembly. Prepare part models for NC programming using synchronous technology.
Output validated programs
Generate validated, production-ready NC programs, using the cloud-based postprocessing solution and integrated machining simulation. Digitally connect planning and production with associative shop documentation, including tool lists and setup sheets.
