Mastercam Lathe

Mastercam Lathe: Smooth and Efficient Turning

The Mastercam Lathe software facilitates programming of turning toolpaths with a wide range of advanced features for both 2D and 3D geometries. Using this software provides significant advantages over traditional lathe programming techniques, thanks to its latest toolpaths. With Mastercam, users can set toolpaths with features like variable chip thickness, chip breaking, periodic turning, or tool inspection between chips.

Dynamic Turning and Optimal Chip Management

Mastercam's dynamic turning applies the same tool contact angle approach as dynamic milling. This unique technique enables excellent chip management, ensuring a reliable machining process, especially when the level of automation is high. The dynamic toolpaths in Mastercam Lathe offer techniques that maximize material removal rates and reduce cycles. The Dynamic Motion™ technology extends tool life and improves machining efficiency.

Comprehensive Threading Capabilities

Mastercam also supports the turning of profile threads, such as rope threads with a single-point tool, eliminating the need for separate thread turning programs. All threading tasks can be programmed and simulated easily through the same user interface.

Ease and Innovation as Competitive Advantages

In the field of turning, the advancement of technology has brought unprecedented versatility, efficiency, and precision. Due to its usability, Mastercam Lathe provides clear advantages over traditional methods. The interface allows for the design of toolpaths directly on 2D or 3D geometries or by using advanced Mastercam Design features, making the turning of complex parts efficient and less error-prone.

Efficiency in Utilizing Toolpaths

With Mastercam Lathe, existing machining operations can be easily reused by copying and importing them from various sources, speeding up programming and significantly reducing the need for manual work. This saves time and makes the process more straightforward.

Collaboration with Sandvik Coromant

Mastercam was a pioneer in the CAM software field by being the first to introduce the PrimeTurning technique developed in collaboration with Sandvik Coromant. This provides significant benefits in the turning of shaft-like components, especially in demanding materials, enhancing not only production speed but also surface quality and tool life.

Full Support for Machine Shop Needs

Mastercam Lathe provides easy access to advanced programming tools and toolpath simulation. The software ensures machining precision and efficiency, whether you are a beginner or a seasoned professional. With its comprehensive features, Mastercam Lathe significantly enhances manufacturing productivity and quality.
