multitasking MTM mill-turn machine tools
INICAD DESIGN
how to maximize the productivity of multitasking MTM CNC machine tools?
how to minimize unproductive time?
what to avoid when choosing CAM software for multitasking MTM machining?.
area of multitasking MTM CNC mill-turn machines is the fastest growing areas in the development of CNC machine tools
5
before you buy multitasking CNC mill-turn machines, think about :
how quickly you want to start to use a new machine in the production process?
you want right from the start to actively use all purchased equipment, such as steady rest, bar feeder or robot?
how much time is needed to adjust the machine for a new job?
how long the machine has to stop, not to produce, between jobs, between workpieces?.

NC programming for multitasking CNC mill-turn machines
the NC programming for MTM machine tool must be equal to the daily work of NC programmers!
the entire production process is as individual sub-processes, operations
machining processes must separate into individual channels of CNC control system and synchronized so that the final machining time was the shortest
simulation and collision check.
INICAD DESIGN
7
what formats CAD design data can be processed?
can you synchronize each turret efficiently?
can you combine machining with two tools at the same time?
can you synchronize more than two channels of CNC control systems?.
