CAM Software features mill/turn technology.
Press Release Summary:
Designed to support advances in cutting tool geometry, ESPRIT 2006 provides grooving cycles for machines capable of turning while utilizing B-axis. Combining 4-axis wrap-pocketing and wrap-contouring machining cycles, software allows direct machining from 3D models and can also work with flat 2D representations. Capable of combining roughing, semi-finishing, and dedicated wall/floor finishing in single operation, it offers selection of cutting tools for each pass.

Latest release from DP Technology features advanced mill/turn technology
Camarillo, Calif. -Jan. 19, 2006 - Built upon the success of its previous product releases, DP Technology Corp. is proud to feature its latest CAM software, ESPRIT 2006, at WESTEC 2006 in Los Angeles from March 27-30. DP Technology will be running demos and giving informative presentations on booth #4232. Featuring functionality that emphasizes higher cutting speeds, longer tool life and suitability to increasingly complex geometry, ESPRIT 2006 is comprehensive in its ability to handle today 's most advanced machine tools and demanding machining applications.
New Turning cycles
The latest developments within ESPRIT 2006 include new grooving cycles which have been added to support advances in cutting tool geometry and machine tool design, including machines capable of turning while utilizing a B-axis. These new grooving cycles offer the following key functionalities: any-tool orientation utilizing a B-axis, new pre-finish options, expanded finish pass control -enhanced for NC compensation, optimized step-over calculations, additional roughing patterns, and support for casting stock.
New Rotary Milling Cycles
ESPRIT 2006 includes a new 4-axis wrap pocketing machining cycle which allows users to easily machine in 4-axis directly from a 3D solid model. This new capability supplements the wrap-contouring cycle introduced in ESPRIT 2005. Both of these machining cycles provide the programmer with the choice of working with flat 2D or 3D representations of the work piece. Roughing, semi-finishing and finishing, including dedicated wall-finish passes and floor-finish passes, can now be combined in a single operation, and each type of pass allows the selection of a different cutting tool. Tool path can be produced on the OD or the ID of cylindrical stock, utilizing one or two rotary axes, and all tool paths are displayed in 3D for greater clarity.
