GHM edia B usiness |Article| machines as these advanced options have been developed closely with the GFMS R&D centre in Switzerland: Global MDA Journal 6. Rotary axis for Wire EDM: TBI (Turn and Burn Index), ASW (Automatic Slug Welding) image below, Spin and Burn (Lathe 2D) and TWB (Turn While Burn). 12. More reliable Mill-turn within the improvements introduced, which stands out is the automatic tool path crash detection by using G41 and G42 commands. ASM (Automatic Slug Management) images below, 7. DB Importers have undergone upgrades for several machine brands such as Sodick, and ONA. 8. Feature recognition for Wire EDM: Simplify your work load by detecting all geometries to be cut in a single set up. 9. Milling 2D: Feature Recognition detecting all geometries from 2.5D part work to be machined in easy steps and New Trochoidal slot. AB (Alignment Basic), AR (Alignment Renishaw), A3D (Alignment 3D). 4. A new Wizard has been introduced for the users of Fanuc Alpha series and CHMER machines. 5. Multi Origins or Multi “0” for Milling and Wire technologies: (This new functionality allows selecting one or more machine references for one or more parts). 17 | may-june 2019 10. Milling 3D: New Adaptive Roughing and new advanced options. 11. Turn: The new option to complete slotting zones, the new Lathe ZX Back view and the wizard templates 13. Fikus Cloud A new powerful tool being available in order to manage versions, updates licenses, postprocessors and safety copies. 14. Keep the knowledge base of your cutting strategies by using templates. The templates can be stored and retrieved later thus providing reliability, quality and efficiency to the machining process. Fikusvisualcam ST 19 has been developed keeping the most desired demands of the wire cut Industry “the efficiency” and “the accuracy”. The optimal cutting strategies implemented in the post processors will be the real strength for the users of this product. Thanks to our collaboration with the most advanced machine tool manufacturers in collaboration with whom this product has been realized. Fikusvisualcam ST is certainly an innovative CAD/CAM solution in the market. www.metalcam.com Global MDA Journal
