Simultaneous 5X milling

SolidCAM's Proven & Powerful Simultaneous 5-Axis Machining

Benefit from the most tested and proven 5-axis CNC milling tool paths in the industry, with a very straight-forward user interface, and the most advanced control over all aspects of tool path and collision checking.

  • Choose from the most complete library of Simultaneous 5-Axis cutting strategies that get you up and cutting instantly.
  • Collision Avoidance protects both the tool and holder with a wide range of strategies, and machine simulation provides complete, graphical Cutter and Tool-holder gouge checking.
  • Each 5-Axis machining strategy provides you with sophisticated options for approach/link control, tool axis control and collision avoidance.
  • Link and approach moves are fully gouge protected and different strategies may be used depending on the distance of the link move. The feed rate may also be varied on the link moves to allow for a smooth approach to the part.
  • SolidCAM also provides you options for controlling lead/lag and side tilt angles giving you complete control over the final tool path.
  • SolidCAM's Sim. 5x features specific solutions for SWARF, Multiblade, Port, Contour 5x, Multiaxis drill, Conversion of HSM to Sim 5x, Multiaxis roughing and Rotary machining.
  • Flowline cutting gives you a tool path that follows the natural shape of the component - you will find this particularly useful with blade type components.
  • Sim. 5x uses multiple advanced Tool Tilting Controlto provide you with unlimited control of tool angles.
  • Multi-surface finish allows you to select multiple faces/surfaces providing you with full control of your machining for the smoothest surface finish. 
  • Multi-pass roughing techniques provide multiple cut increments along, and perpendicular to the tool vector, with the option to contain to boundaries and trim to stock.
  • Keep your Tool and Holder safe with multiple, automatic Gouge Avoidance strategies that check each part of the tool assembly (shank, arbor, and holder) to the drive and check surfaces.
  • Get the whole picture with realistic 3D Machine Simulation, complete with comprehensive collision and axis limit checking.
  • SolidCAM's 5-Axis machining supports all your rotary kinematics, including Table/Table, Table/Head and Head/Head configurations as well as the latest multi-function Mill-Turn machining centers.
