GibbsCAM to be Demonstrated at Haas Demo Days as Machinist Tools

  
   
MOORPARK, California, June 11 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Cimatron Limited

(NASDAQ: CIMT), a leading provider of integrated CAD/CAM solutions for the

toolmaking and manufacturing industries, announced that GibbsCAM, its

software for programming CNC machine tools, will be demonstrated as part of

Haas Automation's upcoming annual Demo Days to be held June 17, from 10AM to

5PM, at various Haas Factory Outlets (HFO) throughout the United States and

Canada.

"Participation in the Haas Demo Days is a great opportunity to demonstrate

the extensive new features of GibbsCAM," states Bill Gibbs, Gibbs and

Associates company founder and president. "While a good percentage of our

customers use GibbsCAM to generate CNC programs to drive Haas machine tools,

Haas uses it in daily machine-tool production. Furthermore, Haas application

engineers use GibbsCAM to demonstrate the wide capabilities of their machine

tools."

The one-day Demo Days events will feature the latest affordable, super-high-

production CNC machines from Haas, with live demonstrations on every machine

in the HFO showrooms. Live demonstrations of the latest GibbsCAM, version

9.3, will show how easily it creates efficient CNC programs for Haas machine

tools. The GibbsCAM Advanced 3D High Speed Machining (HSM) and 5-Axis modules

will be featured, together with postprocessors that support every Haas

machine tool made. The other GibbsCAM modules will also be available for

demonstration, including GibbsCAM TMS (Tombstone Management System), which

was originally developed to support Haas' internal tombstone programming with

efficient layout and programming of tombstone-fixtured parts.

The Advanced 3D HSM module comprises multiple machining methods specifically

developed for multi-surface hard milling and high speed machining in

SolidSurfacer(R) to provide high quality surface finishes that reduce or

eliminate polishing. The various machining styles are useful for multiple

applications and offer smooth entries, exits and cutting motions, with steep

or shallow angle limits, rest passes, tool-holder collision checking, and

options to change cutting style. These styles are Contour, Constant Step Over

Cut, Flats Cut, Lace Cut, Intersections, Automatic Core Detection, and

Improved Pocketing.

The GibbsCAM 5-axis Module provides multi-surface 5-axis roughing and

finishing; multi-surface, 5-axis, flow-line machining; surface edge. 5-axis

swarf cutting (typically for trimming vacuum-formed parts); adaptable

interface, based upon part-type strategy, shows only what is needed; advanced

gouge checking to ensure safe cuts even in most complex operations; complete

control of entry, exit, cut-to-cut and between-cut motion; 5-axis depth cuts

machining; and integration with the GibbsCAM Machine Simulation module for

complete toolpath verification and simulation of all the machine's moving

components. Version 9.3, adds automatic tilting and various tilting options,

plus many new enhancements to provide greater flexibility and productivity

for using multi-axis machines.
