What is the TURN Module?

Manage CAM data using the Machining Operations Browser.

Use the browser to Program & Simulate Machining Operations

The CAM Browser

The Machining Objects browser allows management of Tools and Knowledge Bases.

Create these types of machining operations in VisualCAM-TURN:

Turning – Turn Roughing and Finishing for Outer Diameter (OD), Inner diameter (ID) and Front Facing

Grooving - Groove Roughing and Finishing for Outer Diameter, (OD), Inner diameter (ID) and Front Facing

Follow Curve - Similar to finishing where toolpath follows the selected part geometry in OD, ID and Face

Threading - Machine OD and ID threads on a part

Parting - Cut off the finished part from rest of the stock in OD

Hole Making - Drill, tap, bore and reverse bore holes

Parallelogram, Groove, Thread and Parting-off

Hole Making Tool TypesSupport for various hole making tool types:Drill, Center-drill, Reamer, Tap, Bore, Reverse Bore

Turn Operation Types

Turn Roughing

Efficiently remove material from stock. Using Outer Diameter (OD), Inner Diameter (ID) or Front Facing approach types.

Turn Finishing

Use this to finish the shape of the turned part. Using OD, ID and Front Face approach types.

Groove Roughing

Use Grooving tools to rough out grooves in OD, ID and Face

Groove Finishing

Use grooving tools to finish grooves in OD, ID and Face

Follow Curve Finishing

Follow user defined curves to better control on cleanup.

Threading

Use threading inserts to cut straight and tapered threads

Parting Off

Use part-off tools to cut off stock from chuck.

Hole Making

Use various strategies to machine axial holes.

Feeds/Speeds Customization

Save and Load feeds & speeds

Stock Models & Simulation

Use various types of stock model for cut material simulation. Use various cut-away modes for stock display.

Use the toolpath viewer to graphically step through toolpath motions

Graphical Toolpath Viewer

• Archive an entire machining strategy specific to a certain class of parts

• Machining strategy can include both, the sequence of machining processes used as well as the specific parameters used in each of these machining processes

• Reuse knowledge base by loading it on other parts that utilize a similar set of machining operation.

• Set defaults - allows the reuse of the machining parameters without having to enter the same parameters when creating new machining operations on same part or new part files

Knowledge Bases

VisualTURN comes with a large set of post-processors to choose from.

Use Post-Processor editor to create your own posts.

Post Processors

Use Post generator to create new posts or to customize existing ones.
