    Alphacam

    Machinist

    Alphacam is a leading CAM solution for milling, routing, turning,


    profiling and wire eroding, from 2-Axis through to 5-Axis programming.
    The emphasis behind the development of Alphacam is to provide our
    customers with productivity, reliability and flexibility.

    Alphacam Machinis

    Core Foundation

    Advanced Mill

    Multi-Axis Machining

    All Alphacam modules are built using


    one core foundation which includes
    geometry creation commands such
    as line, arc, circle, rectangle, polygon,
    ellipse, spline and polyline together
    with surface creation options. Other
    features include intelligent snapping
    functions such as end, mid, centre,
    intersect, tangent, quadrant and auto.

    Renowned in the metalworking industry


    for ease-of-use, Alphacam can contour,
    pocket, engrave and hole-drill complex
    parts. Functions such as 2.5D multiple
    depth cutting, pocketing with an
    unlimited number of islands and tool
    radius compensation can be controlled
    using its intuitive user interface.

    Work plane support for machining


    centres with 4 and 5-Axis indexing
    capability is made simple with
    Alphacam. Parts can be dragged and
    dropped onto a fixture, their datum set
    and machining sequence automatically
    optimised.

    Import options for DXF, DWG, IGES and


    a variety of solid model formats ensure
    compatibility with other CAD systems.
    There are also various geometry editing
    functions including undo, redo, move,
    copy, rotate, mirror, scale, break, trim,
    explode, join, extend, fillet, chamfer and
    offset.
    All modules have user defined tool and
    material libraries controlling many of
    the important machining parameters
    such as tool direction, automatic lead
    in and lead out, corner cut options
    (straight, roll round or loop), G41/42
    tool compensation and automatic
    calculation of speeds and feeds.

    Advanced Mill even offers roughing


    and finishing strategies for complex 3D
    surfaces, STL and solid models. With
    its powerful post-processing ability,
    Alphacam can generate NC code for
    any machining centre.

    Wire EDM
    2-Axis machining with optional constant
    draft angle and 4-Axis shape-to-shape
    cutting are fully supported. Multi-level
    block heights can be automatically
    calculated if the wire angle exceeds the
    CNC machines capability.

    The advanced solid simulation, with full


    machine build, within Alphacam means
    that the tool path can be verified before
    it reaches the machine tool. Clamp and
    fixture collision detection, support for
    work co-ordinate offset tracking and
    plane rotation means that the NC code
    generated is right first time.

    st (Mill, Turn & Wire)

    3D Milling

    Turning

    3D Engraving

    Multiple 3D rough and finish machining


    strategies of surfaces, STL models and
    other native CAD models are available
    within Alphacam. These strategies
    can be applied to any work plane,
    allowing for 3 plus 2 machining to be
    programmed using Alphacam on 4 and
    5-Axis indexing machines. Alphacams
    Ultimate module is capable of 4 and
    5-Axis simultaneous machining of
    surfaces and 3D trim curves.

    All standard 2-axis turning operations


    are quick and easy to generate using
    Alphacam, with support for both linear
    and canned cycle NC code. Along with
    an extensive standard library, any shape
    and size tool can be created within
    Alphacam, the tip and holder of which
    are constantly checked to avoid fouling
    of the part.

    Artwork and text can be easily created


    and machined using Alphacams
    powerful 3D engraving. This command
    contours geometries with a form
    tool, and on meeting a sharp corner
    automatically retracts the tool to
    produce a sharp corner, often referred
    to as embossing.

    Both twin turret and sub-spindle


    operations are supported by the
    Advanced Lathe modules to which
    automatic and manual synchronisation
    can easily be applied. From simple 2D
    slots and holes to the simultaneous
    5-Axis machining of complex 3D
    surfaces and Solids using driven tools,
    Alphacam makes it easy.

    Profiling
    Automatic nesting of parts, for sheet
    optimisation, is just one of the reasons
    why Alphacam is an excellent tool
    when profiling using lasers, water-jet
    and plasma cutters. Links to machinespecific technology tables are made
    easy using Alphacams powerful API
    and fully integrated Microsoft VBA.
    5-Axis support for planar contouring
    and drilling as well as simultaneous
    machining for trimming are all
    supported by Alphacam.

    Post Processors
    With manufacturers facing ever
    increasing global competition, it
    is essential to maintain maximum
    machinery efficiency to ensure optimal
    production throughput. Having an
    optimised link between Alphacam and
    your CNC machines, through the use of
    post processors, is a key component in
    attaining this efficiency.
    Having developed post processors for
    virtually every machine control in use
    today, Alphacam has the knowledge
    and experience to fine tune your CNC
    output ensuring maximum yield and
    quality in the shortest possible time.

    What others have to say ....


    Ive been using Alphacam for more than 20 years and it gets better and better.

    Mark Durey - Cutting Room Partner


    We place a great deal of emphasis on developing our in-house skills and, in this respect,
    we have been impressed by the training and support weve received from Alphacam.

    Bill Taylor - Sunseeker


    I looked at many systems before selecting Alphacam, but I made the best choice, and if I
    had my time over again I would select it again.
