"SolidCAM" is an integrated CAM system that can support all operations of complex lathes, including main spindles, back spindles, turrets, tailstocks, and steady rests. It is possible to create programs for synchronized machining with multiple spindles and turrets. Additionally, the channel synchronization manager displays the order of operations and is useful for checking and avoiding interference. Furthermore, the machine simulation allows for the verification of all operations of the actual machine. 【Features】 ■ Fully integrated with "SOLIDWORKS" ■ Compatible with a wide range of machine tools ■ Quickly responds to design changes and similar shapes ■ User-friendly operation screen ■ Easy to operate even for those with little CAM experience *Many application example videos are available on YouTube. https://www.youtube.com/c/TactexFS

"SolidProbe" uses a touch probe mounted on machine tools to create programs for defining the origin and on-machine measurement in SolidCAM. In addition to the simple operability similar to cutting data, the use of simulation visualizes the operation of all probes. It also includes support for tool length measurement systems, allowing for tool presetting. 【Features】 ■ Increased accuracy ■ Increased speed ■ Reduced costs ■ High-precision centering and measurement made easy for anyone ■ Ability to select and create probe operations from 16 different cycle patterns *Many application example videos are available on YouTube. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sduzf3UoMtA For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

We would like to introduce a case study of Kihara High-Tech Co., Ltd., which has implemented SolidCAM and iMachining. The company was manufacturing molds based on samples of wooden patterns, but often experienced discrepancies between the samples and the final products due to external factors such as humidity and temperature. From this perspective, it was considered beneficial to create data based on 3D models, leading to the implementation of "SolidCAM." When considering cost performance, the company has received high praise for its ability to adequately handle the machining of aircraft components.

We would like to introduce a case study of Hayakawa Seiki Kogyo Co., Ltd., which has implemented iMachining. The company processes a wide variety of items, from small parts to molds, and faced challenges such as issues with processing time and the inability to increase cutting conditions for difficult-to-cut materials. As a solution, they introduced "iMachining." The opportunity arose when they participated in a seminar held at our Gifu Technical Center and saw it in action. As a result of the implementation, they have experienced improvements not only in reducing processing time but also in tool life, among other benefits.

We would like to introduce a case study of Yoshizumi Sangyo Co., Ltd., which has implemented SolidCAM and iMachining. The company has been investing in advanced technologies, such as the introduction of CAD, to improve work efficiency from an early stage. However, in terms of machining operations, they were creating programs through manual input on the machine's control panel, which posed a challenge for improving productivity to accommodate mass production. Therefore, they decided to implement SolidCAM and iMachining. They determined that reducing machining time with "iMachining" would lead to increased productivity by raising the machine's operating rate.

We would like to introduce a case study of Okano Valve Manufacturing Co., Ltd., which has implemented SolidCAM. The company manufactures high-temperature and high-pressure valve devices used in thermal and nuclear power plants. They chose to implement SolidCAM due to its compatibility with the CAD software "SolidWorks," the ease of operation of the CAM, and the strong support system and machining knowledge provided by the CAM sales company. They also adopted the optional SolidCAM i-Machining, experiencing dramatic increases in tool life and a 50% reduction in rough machining time. [Case Study] ■ Okano Valve Manufacturing Co., Ltd. (Kitakyushu City, Fukuoka Prefecture) ■ Business Description: Manufacturing of various industrial valve devices ■ Certifications: ISO9001, ISO14001, etc. ■ Products Implemented: SolidCAM, HSM (optional), i-Machining (optional) *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

We are introducing a case study from Mechatro Associates Co., Ltd., which developed a dedicated robot package in collaboration with SolidCAM, through its sales company, Tactex. The company provides support for the introduction of industrial robot arms and the production of jigs and tools. The development of SolidCAM's robot module was initiated when they approached us with the idea of using SolidCAM's simultaneous 5-axis module to calculate the coordinates and vectors necessary for the robot's movements. Since the system operates on the major 3D CAD "SOLIDWORKS" in the field of mechanical design, it allows for quick proposals and explanations to customers. Additionally, it is user-friendly and easy to operate, even for those who have never used 3D CAD before, which has been recognized as a significant advantage.

We would like to introduce the case of Kobayashi Manufacturing Co., Ltd., which has implemented SolidCAM. The company, which deals with the design and manufacturing of plastic molds and injection molded products, had already adopted 3D CAD/CAM from other companies. However, to respond to further price competition, they introduced "SolidCAM i-Machining" in the summer of 2013. As a 3D CAM, it has fewer input items and is easy to operate, producing good paths, making it very suitable for first-time users. Additionally, the tool life is excellent, which is appreciated along with the reduction in processing time. 【Case Study】 ■ Kobayashi Manufacturing Co., Ltd. (Shinagawa, Tokyo) ■ Products: Design and manufacturing of plastic molds and injection molded products ■ Implemented Product: SolidCAM i-Machining ■ Implementation Period: Summer 2013 *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.
