June 04, 2009 - PowerMILL is Delcam’s award-winning programming system for five-axis and high-speed machining, while PowerINSPECT is the world’s leading hardware-independent inspection software. The new versions will help all manufacturing companies that are looking to win more business by increasing their productivity and improving their quality.
The schedule for the launch meetings is:
17th June Delcam, Birmingham
19th June West of England Aerospace Forum, Bristol
1st July South-West Durham Training Centre
3rd July Blackburn Rovers FC
8th July DMG, Luton
Fastest-ever CAM
The new release of PowerMILL incorporates the latest multi-threading and background-processing technologies to give much faster calculation times and dramatically-increased output. Individual toolpaths can be generated more quickly and the user can prepare data in the foreground while the computer calculates toolpaths in the background. Furthermore, the computer can continue with a series of calculations during the user’s breaks or even overnight.
Other enhancements to further increase productivity include reduced memory usage when programming the largest and most complex parts, and improved ordering to give faster cycle times on the machine tool.
More efficient inspection
The latest version of PowerINSPECT incorporates a completely new interface for "simple” measurements. This will speed up the inspection process by making it much easier to undertake basic tasks, such as measuring the distance between two points or two planes, or the centres of two circles, or checking the thickness of a section.
Other enhancements include more flexible handling of geometric data sets, easier methods to add extra data and improved reporting. All these new features make it even faster to spot any errors, and so quicker and cheaper to correct them.
