When you need to move beyond 3-axis milling into rotary milling of any type, there is a GibbsCAM option to accommodate your requirements with speed and efficiency. Each GibbsCAM option has a different range of capabilities, different input requirements, and different toolpath capabilities. Selecting the best option(s) for a specific part and machine will yield the best results. All of GibbsCAM’s rotary milling options are supported by a huge library of post processors and a staff dedicated to building and maintaining post processors. 5-AXIS MILLING achieves 5-axis motion with 2 rotary and 3 linear axes. It provides powerful programming tools to meet all the challenges of 3-, 4- and 5-axis simultaneous machining, without sacrificing ease of use. Input is a combination of 3D wireframe geometry, solids and surfaces. GibbsCAM’s geometry creation and editing tools accommodate any modeling or editing required to prepare a part model for machining. A robust set of multi-surface strategies supports machining a full range of uniquely shaped parts directly from the model’s surfaces. The user has full control of tool axis tilt. Comprehensive collision control checks the tool and holder for collisions with the part and workholding devices, and automatically corrects 5-AXIS DRILLING the toolpath according to user specified parameters. A sophisticated and powerful programming tool for any 5-axis programmer, this option is i

5-axis simultaneous capable mills, mill-turns and MTM machines, and also a very good solution for 4-axis machines when working directly from solids and surfaces. The integration of 5-Axis Milling with GibbsCAM MTM options supports the most advanced multi-task machines with live tooling on articulated heads. With its breadth of capability and ease of use, GibbsCAM 5-Axis Milling will simplify your 5-axis programming needs and improve machining efficiency with better surface finish and faster throughput. 5-AXIS PORTING is an addition to the 5-Axis Milling option, optimized for machining...

5-AXIS MULTIBLADE LEVEL 2 provides incremental capabilities to 5-Axis MultiBlade Level 1 to machine parts that have multiple splitters and/or sub-splitters. It adds a fillet machining strategy and provides additional control for all toolpath strategies. (Requires 5-Axis MultiBlade Level 1) • Blade fillet finishing • Tool axis smoothing • Splitter smoothing • Multiple splitter support • More control for tilt, leading & trailing edges, and all toolpath strategies • Toolpath segment sorting • Stock definition for rest machining RADIAL MILLING drives one rotary and three linear axes to achieve...

Axes Driven X, Z and one rotary axis. X, Y, Z, and one rotary axis. X, Y, Z, and either one or two rotary axes. Cutting operations Al1 2D standard min Depth and tapers Wall angles and Y offsets Works well with constant depth milling. Not suitable for variable-depth floors. Wall angles result from tool radius, as tool is always on centerline. Multi-revolution output Multi-revolution output on a single line of G-code. Adds radial roughing and contouring operations for wall control and cylindrical floor finish. For constant or variable depths. Offers variety of variable-depth-floor options....
