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. MTMs 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
GibbsCAMs MTM simplifies the process and shortens the programming
time.
