Edgecam Probing is an intuitive yet powerful tool for automatically generating and simulating spindle probing routines for horizontal and vertical machining centres direct from CAD geometry within Edgecam 12.5.
Using Edgecam’s easy to use cycles, the new Probing module embeds standard Renishaw Inspection Plus CNC probing commands inside the Edgecam part file. This enables automatic work offset calculations to accurately establish part datums for subsequent machining. Intermediate positional moves are automatically and intelligently incorporated to avoid the risk of damage to the probe.
Full simulation within Edgecam of the probing routine allows the user to verify that the cycle is optimal and proves the process instead of using valuable set-up time on the machine tool.
