What is AlphaCUT ?

AlphaCUT is a NC code based Machine Simulator. Toolpath is not required.

Sample:3AxisMovingTable

AlphaCUT is an Extra Cost Option of AlphaCAM

Distributor License can run AlphaCUT NOW ! AlphaCUT page AlphaCUT View on AlphaCAM View

In my case , the beginning was

checking my 5 axis postprocessor

Using AlphaCUT.

Machine Variation 1

Gantry

5Axis Router

Vertical

Mill/Turn powered by MWPROGRAMMATIONSA

5 Axis Laser

Machine Variation 2

5 Axis table-table

5 Axis + 2 router + Multi Drill Turning powered by MWPROGRAMMATIONSA

Crash detection 1

In a graphic view

In a Program Monitor

Icon is added and remembered

In a Message List

Crash detail is reported

Crash detection 2

Tool and Fixture Holder and Material

Crash detection 3

Crash Soft Crash

Crash is reported when

Rapid move cut Material

Attachment Exchange

Snout Angle Head

Universal Index Universal Index + Angle

Sample: AttachmentExchange

Verification

Roughing Parallel Machining Rest Machining

You can compare anytime you want to do

Target Verification Cut result

Verification is always

5 axis

Sample: 5AxisFitArcAndSurfaceVerification

Split Material 1 Put Colors to separated material

Split is done Show one

Sample:WaterJet

Split Material 2

Material is separated Abandon and continue Material is separated

Report arc radius and center ,

degree

Tool definition 1

Milling and turning tools are defined in a same dialog

AlphaCUT can load tool from AlphaCAM toolpath / tool file

Tool and Holder profile can be loaded from and saved to AlphaCAM

Tool definition 2

Taper Square Ball Taper Radius

User Defined

Crash is detected when

tool shank touches

material

This area can cut material

Overload detection

Overloaded block is remembered

Overload Detail and

Real time load meter

Offset memory

Offset memory works same as true machine

in Tool Length Compensation , Tool Radius Compensation

Values can be loaded from AlphaCUT tool database

General type Simple type
