GibbsCAM - Production Lathe

Full 2-Axis Programming
Capabilities include contouring, automatic roughing, multiple hills and valleys, plunge roughing, threading, repetitive shape roughing, drilling, tapping and boring.

Advanced Roughing Routines
Includes turn roughing cycles for plunge roughing with automatic shoulder stroking, and pattern shift roughing with constant path and constant step over choices.

Material Only Roughing and Contouring
Tool moves are calculated to only cut where there is material (“air avoidance”), resulting in shorter programs and faster cycle times.

Forward and Reverse Roughing
Toolpaths can be defined so the tool cuts in both directions or in one direction only.

No Tool Dragging
Automatically calculates toolpaths for optimal cutting, so the tool is always cutting in a forward insert direction.

Automatic Clearance
Keeps track of material left on the part at all times and dynamically calculates clearance moves to keep the tool at an optimal distance as it moves around the part.

Threading
Built-in data library for all pertinent threading information, including the following standards: UN, UNJ, API, ISO, NPT, BSPT, 55° Whitworth, 60° partial, 55° partial, RD(DIN), TR(DIN), ACME, Stub ACME, Buttress, and others. Supports top-notch, LT, cresting, and multi-form inserts. Infeeds include balanced, single-edge, single-edge alternating and user specified. Also supports multi-start threads and auto spring passes.
