Mastercam Swiss Expert is designed to control a variety of Swissstyle NC machines, and is especially useful for industries requiring small, precise parts. These can include watchmaking, medical devices, dental, automotive and electronics companies. “Mastercam Swiss Expert supports an unlimited number of axes and channels, and provides realistic simulation of the entire machine and its tools,” said a company spokesperson. “Mastercam Swiss Expert reduces startup time, is ideal for optimizing cycle times and supports all types of tooling.” Mastercam Swiss Expert is completely solids based, allowing for quick toolpath creation from solid faces, edges, loops and turned profiles. There is no need to create additional geometry to cut a part. Swiss Expert tools designed to make programming easier include: • A complete understanding of the user’s machine allows for streamlined programming, from toolpaths to synchronization to simulation. • Select tools and build 3D tool assemblies in the comprehensive Tool Manager. Tools, tool assemblies and tool equipment are fully supported in Machine Simulation. • Save tools and cutting strategies into libraries for future use on similar or families of parts. • View operations and add synchronization points graphically using the Sync Manager. Mastercam Swiss Expert understands machining modes, and will prevent adding sync points that the machine cannot execute. To graphically optimize part cycle times and avoid collisions, the Sync Manager offers the following: • Use an unlimited number of channels. • Drag, drop and sync operations to one another. • Sync operations by tool group or by channel. • View all machining parameters and modify them on the fly if necessary. • Expand and contract the timeline for trouble-free viewing of the part process. • Use colors to help identify which toolpaths belong to which tool group or channel. • Quickly view the time each operation takes to complete. Mastercam Swiss Expert allows simulation of the project on a virtual machine before it reaches the shop floor. Mastercam Swiss Expert’s simulation provides: • Full simulation of every moving component of the machine, including material, main and sub spindles, tool holders and part handling devices. • Automatic collision detection. • Accurate machine models. • Automatically jump to any point in the simulation by selecting a location on the Gantt chart. • Simultaneously view NC code for all channels while simulating a part.
