TopSolid post-processors get Mori Seiki seal of approval

TopSolid CAM offers functions to drive Mori Seiki's complex multi-function machines. Machine simulation, collision check, spindle synchronisation, raw part updating and visualisation of material removal are important elements of TopSolid CAM. In addition TopSolid offers a claimed unique CAM solution in that it is capable of piloting 2-axis turning, 2- and 3-axis milling, 4- and 5-axis continuous milling, synchronisation of multiple turrets and complex simulation. "Post-processors are a tricky business. We need to work closely with machine manufacturers if we want to get it right," says Dominique Laffret, vice-president of strategic relationships at Missler Software. "Mori Seiki has worked with us throughout the development of the NT series post-processors. The result is that both companies can guarantee a machine tool and CAM software that work together. This offers an assurance to our respective customers that the machine will work when it arrives on their shopfloor."
