Capabilities extended in Delcam Electrode 2015

Product Launches

The capabilities of Delcam Electrode – software for the design, machining and inspection of electrodes – have been enhanced so that the system can now produce multi-part electrodes or families of electrodes. In addition, electrodes can now be displayed in the history tree of the tool on which they will be used, thus simplifying project management. Also, all electrode drawings will update automatically, if the design is changed.

At the heart of the Delcam solution is a novel file format – the .Trode file.This contains all the information for each electrode project, including not only the electrode design but also the machining and inspection information, plus the set-up sheets for its manufacture and use. Having all the required information in a single file simplifies data management and increases overall efficiency.

Delcam Electrode can provide scripts for equipment from GF Machining Solutions, Exeron, JDMA EPX, Makino, Mitsubishi, ONA, OPS-Ingersoll, Sodick and Zimmer & Kreim.
