Multiple spindles. Multiple tool groups. Multi-Tasking machines are the fastest growing machine tool type. At the same time they are one of the most difficult machine tools to learn and use. MTM machine begin with stock being fed in at one end and the finished parts are completed all without involving the operator. MTM’s eliminate costly set-up time and scrapped parts. Achieving the optimum level of utilization requires a CAM system that is capable of functioning and thinking exactly like the MTM machine tool. GibbsCAM MTM provides powerful programming tools to create MTM parts.

The CNC programmer or engineer must develop and program the MTM. This is a complex machining process involving multiple tools being used at the same time on one spindle, then transferring the part from one spindle to another so that different areas of the part can be machined. Creating an optimum MTM program with GibbsCAM’s MTM simplifies the process and shortens the programming time.

GibbsCAM MTM is available in three levels based on the
complexity of your MTM machine tool.

Level #1 – Basic MTM devices with a single flow

Level #2 – adds support for two flows; typically twin turret machines

Level #3 – is specialized for MTM with more than two flows
