SolidCAM – Overview 2 Probing & Measuring Made Easy Solid Probe is the SolidCAM module that provides capabilities for Home definition and On-Machine Verification, using probes on the CNC machine, to do setup and control the quality of machined parts. Full visualization of all the probe movements, provided by SolidCAM Machine Simulation, enables you to avoid any potential damage to the Probe tool. Combined Probe and Machining Operations Machining operations and Probe operations are intermixed in the SolidCAM CAM manager and can use the same geometries on the solid CAD model. When the solid model is changed, both the machining and probe operations can be automatically synchronized to the change. Solid Probe is a Must for Every Machinist using Probes: ù Easy Home definition ù On-Machine Verification ù Tool Presetter support ù Easy geometry selection on solid model ù Supports a wide range of probe cycles ù Visualization of all the Probe tool movements ù Support of different Probe controllers SOLID PROBE
www.solidcam.com 3 Home Definition Solid Probe provides an easy solution for home setting, using 16 different cycles, to easily define home positions, replacing manual setup procedures. Preview of Cycle Movements Solid Probe uses the same geometry as the 2.5D milling operations. Full control over tolerances, different sorting options and preview of cycle movements are provided. On-Machine Verification Solid Probe cycles are used for measuring machined surfaces, without transferring the part to a CMM machine – the part can be inspected on the CNC machine itself. Tool Presetter Support Solid Probe includes Tool Presetter support to check your milling and turning tools, between Machining operations and tool change events. It also provides tool breakage detection for continuous and safe machining. SolidCAM – The Future of CAM
SolidCAM – Overview 4 With the single-window integration, all machining operations can be defined, calculated and verified without leaving the SOLIDWORKS assembly environment. All 2D and 3D geometries used for machining are fully associative to the SOLIDWORKS design model. If you make any changes to your SOLIDWORKS model, all of your CAM operations will be automatically updated. SolidCAM + SOLIDWORKS is scalable for all CNC machine types and applications. The integrated CAD/CAM Solution, is available from SolidCAM, as a bundle-package. Major Benefits of SolidCAM seamlessly integrated in SOLIDWORKS: ù SOLIDWORKS look and feel through seamless single window integration – with full support for modern 4K displays ù Full associativity: toolpaths automatically update when the SOLIDWORKS model changes ù SolidCAM works in the SOLIDWORKS assembly mode to define fixtures, tooling and vices The complete, ‘Best-in-Class’ CAM Suite for Profitable CNC-Programming in SOLIDWORKS CAD INTEGRATION
www.solidcam.com 5 Customers rave about SolidCAM's integration in SOLIDWORKS Ɓ This approach shortens the learning curve for programmers, offers greater geometry editing and manipulation power to manufacturing and provides a common tool for supporting interaction between designers and machinists.” Ɓ If changes are made on the manufacturing side, we capture them on both the design side and the manufacturing side because SOLIDWORKS and SolidCAM are fully associative.” Ɓ The integrated approach facilitates discussion and resolution of manufacturing issues because everyone is working with the same model and modeler. We communicate issues and features a lot better working with an integrated system.” Ɓ The integrated approach has a lot of advantages, including saving time, accessing a single geometry file, and using the intelligence of our design data in a more efficient, systematic way.” Ɓ SolidCAM is the Swiss pocket knife for machining. With the modules for the 2.5D, 3D, simultaneous 5-axis machining and rotary milling, all daily machining tasks can be done quickly – from the complex drilling pattern to the most demanding 5-axis impeller. Program the part, simulate and off you go on the machine. The software delivers, what it has promised!” You Never Have to Leave the SOLIDWORKS Window! Ɓ Since loading the SolidCAM trial version integrated in SOLIDWORKS, I’ve been able to program complex parts and run them without concern. The machine seems to run smoother than before, cutters last longer and confidence levels are high. I am able to train others here to use SolidCAM with ease. The software is pretty self-explanatory and the tutorials are easy to follow.” Ɓ The tight integration with SOLIDWORKS makes my design-to-production life cycle easy and fast. The SolidCAM support team is rock solid. I do some pretty complex 4-axis production projects and SolidCAM handles them very nicely.” SolidCAM – The Future of CAM

Control. Monitor. Maximize Productivity. ƁMy personal goal was to be able to program all CNC machining operations consistently with a single CAM system. The biggest challenge here was to bring the Swiss-type lathes on board. Thanks to the extensive support provided by SolidCAM, that also worked out wonderfully!” Steffen Rudischhauser | Managing Director Rudischhauser Surgical Instruments & Implants Manufacturing GmbH | rudischhauser.com ƁWhat matters to us are the structure and quality of the generated CNC programs that go to the machine, as well as how quickly and easily they can be generated. The service at SolidCAM is unparalleled. The technicians have done a great job with the post-processors for our complex Bumotec machines. And if we ever have a problem, someone from the support team is immediately offering help. These days, that isn’t a given; it’s unique!"

Errors and technical changes reserved. V141/02.25 www.solidcam.com ƁCNC programming with SolidCAM enables us to produce much more efficiently on our sliding headstock automatic lathes. Particularly when manufacturing prototypes, changes can be made directly on the model and strategies can be effectively adapted with reference to the CAD model. Checking for collisions or machine limits via the advanced machine simulation is particularly valuable for us. It enables us to check material removal, approach and retreat movements of the tools and if the tool clamping is correct. We effectively avoid programming errors and have experienced a substantial cost reduction." Waldemar Böshans | CAM-Programming DOPPKON GmbH & Co. KG | doppkon.de
