PowerMill Robot

PowerMILL Robot lets you program robots with

external axes such as rotary tables and linear tracks

as easily as you could program a 5-axis NC

machine

• Program robots holding spindles for

tool to part applications, ideal for

machining large, heavy parts for

prototype manufacturing or low

production runs, as well as cladding

or non-destructive testing

• Suitable for programming part to

tool applications, such as grinding

or linishing, and mass production

runs

• Increase the working area of robots

with external axes, such as linear

tracks and rotary tables, for greater

flexibility over the size and types of

parts you can manufacture

PowerInspect

A single easy-to-use metrology

solution, for portable, static, manual, CNC & optical CMMs

Benefits:

• Measurement directly on the

machine tool helps make quick

scrap or rework decisions

• In-process measurement helps

keep manufacturing processes in

control

• Automated measurement

strategies provide fast and easy

programming

• Common file format allows

measurement sequences to be

transferred between machine tool

and measuring machine

Success Stories

“Right out of the box, PowerMill has improved our surface finish tremendously and decreased the programming time of the part. Alterations or modifications to the tool path are much easier and very simplistic in approach. The software is user friendly in the step by step process to develop the completed process. It’s actually fun to work with PowerMill and makes the job enjoyable.”

New process has increase efficiency

and quality which has gave them

confidence to add more machines

and move previously outsourced work

in house.

• Existing system was difficult to use required

the model to be recreated at times for

toolpath creation

• Needed greater flexibility and ease of use

to meet manufacturing deadlines

• Updates were minimal allowing them to fall

behind in machining technology

NC Simul interface

“During the 10 years that I used Pro/NC there where only a handful of strategies added to the portfolio. At that pace, Pro/NC will be where PowerMill is now in about 25 years. I reviewed several CAM packages prior to purchasing Delcam PowerMill and if you want to get or stay on top, PowerMill is the way to go.

To me support is one of the most important factors when making decisions based in the manufacturing environment. Delcam is always there to support us if the need should arise. That goes from programming challenges all the way through to post processing. If there is an issue, Delcam will solve it.”
