GibbsCAM Plunge Roughing to be unveiled at WESTEC 2010
Gibbs and Associates, developer of GibbsCAM software for programming CNC machine tools, will unveil the release version of its highly enhanced Plunge Rough feature at the WESTEC 2010 Exposition in Los Angeles, California, 23rd-25th March 2010.
The Plunge Rough feature accommodates the latest, inserted, plunge milling tools specially developed for this type of material removal, and allows users to specify machining patterns and multiple variables to control tools and motion for fast plunge roughing with optimal surface finish and tool longevity.
"Our Advanced 3D users will be quite surprised with the new feature. The new Plunge Rough is fully integrated and has increased intelligence about stock condition, tracking where material has been removed, so it can detect safe pull-off direction and distance when it retracts the tool," said Bill Gibbs, founder and president of Gibbs and Associates.
In addition to Plunge Rough, all the new features of GibbsCAM 2010 will be available for demonstration at WESTEC, including VoluMill, another fast material removal feature recently added to GibbsCAM.
