Preface
Lathe Machining easily defines NC programs dedicated to machining 3D cylindrical parts using
2-axis turning and drilling operations, for both horizontal and vertical spindle lathe machines.
Quick tool path definition is ensured thanks to an intuitive user interface based on graphic
dialog boxes.
Tools can be easily created and integrated to tool catalogs. Tool path can be generated,
simulated and analyzed.
Whole manufacturing process is covered from tool path definition to NC data generation thanks
to an integrated postprocessor execution engine. Shop floor documentation is automatically
created in HTML format.
Finally, associativity with Version 5 design products allows productive design change
management.
Suitable for all kinds of cylindrical machined parts, Lathe Machining fits the needs of
Fabrication & Assembly industry, as well as all industries where lathe machining techniques are
involved.
It can be used in shop-floors as a stand-alone product for CAM-centric customers, who will
particularly appreciate the product's ease-of-use and high level of manufacturing capabilities.
