Micromation Systems support for machining centers with 4 and 5-Axis indexing capability is made simple with Alpha cam. Parts can be dragged and dropped onto a fixture, their datum set and machining sequence automatically optimized. The advanced solid simulation, with full machine build, within Alpha cam 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.
