PowerMILL 2016 introduces project mirroring for reduced programming times of right-hand and left-hand parts.

Enhancements focused on safer machining include carousel tool change simulation and additional collision verification options. New finishing strategies for machining blades and ribs give you

more control, whilst reducing programming and cycle times.

New features and enhancements include:

Project Mirroring Adjust Overhang Only on Collision Carousel Tool Change Simulation Machine Tool Transparency Drawing of Safe Areas Tool Position Form Single Blade Finishing Constant Z Finishing for Rib Machining

Adjust Overhang Only on Collision

A new ‘Adjust Overhang Only’ option is now available for toolpath verification. You can specify to only apply

modifications to the overhang.

Project Mirroring

You can now mirror all project entities to speed up the programming of right-hand and left-hand parts. Machining

characteristics are maintained, including the cut direction of toolpaths.

PowerMILL 2016- Complex machining, straightforward

methods

A dedicated Rib Machining module is now available in PowerMILL, simplifying the machining of complex moulds with long, thin and deep channels.

Tool Position Form

A new dedicated dialog shows detailed tool location data. Information regarding the

position of the tool tip, tool centre and gauge face are shown, with reference to a

choice of coordinate system points.

Carousel Tool Change Simulation and Machine Tool Transparency

Fully simulate carousel tool changes to comprehensively verify toolpaths prior to machining. When used alongside the

Advanced Simulation and Verification Module you will be notified of any tool change collisions during simulation. In addition,

automatic machine tool transparency optimises part visibility.

Drawing of Safe Areas

A new option allows for the drawing of safe areas, including the rapid and plunge heights.

This gives you a clearer representation of the safe

machining area.

PowerMILL gives us the tools to get the best results on the machine.

Single Blade Finishing

A new toolpath strategy has been added for the finish

machining of single blades. This feature allows you to

machine single-blade faces quickly and effectively.

Constant Z Finishing for Rib Machining

Constant Z offset capability has been added to rib machining. This gives

you more control when machining, allowing for

quicker toolpath calculation and faster machining times.
