5-Axis Machining Centre fitted with a Heidenhain Tnc 640 control.

Go along to Southern Manufacturing and see them on Stand E215.

 

 

January 2020:

We have been busy creating post processors and machine simulation models for some of our most

advanced users.

We have recently been working on several exciting projects including this Okuma Multus U4000 2SW.

This is for a user in North Wales, for high precision complex parts production.

 

Okuma Multus U4000 2SW - OSP-P300SA control.

Using FeatureCAM Ultimate and Advanced Turn/Mill.

January 2020:

We would like to say, have a very Happy and Prosperous New Year to all of our

customers and partners.

 

October 2019:

IndieCAM Ltd, are now Certified as an Autodesk CAM Specialised Reseller.

Part of the MAKE - Product Design and Manufacturing CAD/CAM Software portfolio.

 

 

January 2019:

We have sold a record number of seats of Ez-EDM during the second half of 2018.

These are for supporting Agie, Charmilles, Fanuc, Makino and Sodick Wire EDM Machines.

We had initially thought that this product would reduce due to the decline in UK Tool Making.

But with customers using this process in general engineering workshops and using the

technology in other ways, it would seem to have bucked the trend.

So, if you have a Wire EDM cad/cam software enquiry, be sure to give us a call.

 

Ez-Cam - Ez-EDM

For all 3, 4, 5 axis Wire EDM Applications

 

We have been busy creating post processors and machine simulation models for some of our most

Here we have the latest generation DMG Mori NLX2500 being used by a customer in the West Midlands.

The machine has full actual solid tool holders, many are multiple tool holders.

The user can see length and reach for collision avoidance and also if any tool holders that may have

problems being next to each other, before putting the part onto the machine.

Thus avoiding wasteful setup time, making the whole process far more efficient.

Parts are simulated in full, including the ‘Transfer’ of the billet from one spindle to the other.
