The webinars will be held on Wednesday, 13 May at 9:00 and 16:30, UK time (4:00 and 11:30 EDT). For more details and to register, go to www.powermill.com/webinar/index.asp
The webinars will show how PowerMILL can undertake complete verification of a project, as regards machine tool issues such as collisions, rather than having to undertake verification of each individual toolpath in turn. As well as highlighting potential collisions, warnings can also be flagged for near misses.
Also to be demonstrated will be the PowerMILL dialogue that allows tracking and adjusting of the position of the machine tool, and the special toolbar to simulate and adjust the configuration and tool axis of a 3+2 machine or any equipment with incremental rotary axes.
The webinar will also show the plug-in for PowerMILL that provides a graph of the linear and rotary axes of the machine during the simulation. Analysis of this graph allows users to locate any potential problems, such as sudden changes in direction or axis reversals that can adversely affect surface finish. Adjusting the position of the part on the machine and running another simulation will often identify a solution to these problems.
