Aerospace, structural parts
Special functions in the CAM system
CAM systems provide support for special workflows. Within the context of 5-axis machining in
particular, they provide methods that meet the demands associated with the programming of
structural parts, thereby creating the perfect conditions for ensuring optimum results on the
machine.

CAM systems enable roughing and finishing to
be performed quickly and precisely on highly
complex parts such as those typical of the
aviation industry.
The geometry selection process (e.g. for
frequently occurring parts such as pockets
and ribs) has been highly automated to enable
quick and easy programming.
Automatic profile milling with variable axes
makes programming faster. CAM systems
offer a range of automatic tool position and
tool axis settings for 5-axis milling on walls
and other profiles.
The tool paths may involve following pocket
floors, the edges of walls or offsets.
