SolidCAM 2022 SP1– Associative Coordinate System In SolidCAM2021, the Coordinate System

SolidCAM 2022 SP1– Associative Coordinate System
In SolidCAM2021, the Coordinate System is not

associative - if you had a change in the part and the location of the coordinate system moved, you would have to redefine the Coordinate System.
If you want to make an edit to the location of the Coordinate System, you will have to restart from the beginning.
With the Associative Coordinate System in SolidCAM 2022, everything is associative, including the levels page - you can also edit the location, without having to recreate the Coordinate system from scratch.

SolidCAM 2022 SP1– Associative Coordinate System (Auto Location with Associative Fields)

SolidCAM 2022 SP1– Associative Coordinate System (Auto Location with Associative Fields)
When choosing

a face to be used for the perpendicular Z direction, it will be automatically placed at the closest hot point on the automatic box:
Auto Location – The closest point on the Auto box
Auto Location - Top - The closest point on the top of the Auto box
Auto Location – Bottom - The closest point on the bottom of the Auto box
Picking a cylindrical surface with the Auto Locations will place the origin at the center axis of that cylinder

SolidCAM 2022 SP1– Associative Coordinate System (Levels Page)
With the Associative Coordinate System

Levels Page in SolidCAM 2022, everything is associative and has Delta fields.
You can for example pick the top of a clamp for the Clearance level and that value will appear in the field as associative - add a Delta value for the distance you want it above the clamp.
If the clamp changes, the ClearanceLevel will always be the delta value above the clamp.

SolidCAM 2022 SP1– Position sharing between Coordinate systems


With the new style

of Position definition in the Coordinate System Manager, you can now share a position among several different MACs.
You can easily change the MAC of the operation, without the need to redefine the Geometry.
Слайд 9

Simply Copy and Paste the operation

to the different MAC – you will get the same operation and position, but in another MAC
Or add new MAC before the operation and select required MAC from the list
Слайд 10

SolidCAM 2022 SPx – Thread Whirling (SWISS type)
Thread Whirling is a

form of the thread milling process. Inserts are mounted on the inside of a cutting ring that rotates around a cylindrical component to cut a thread.
It is a productive method often used on Swiss-type CNC machines for thread parts that need to be produced quickly and at tight tolerances or for threads with a high length-to-diameter ratio.
Typical parts for thread whirling are medical bone screws, implants, feed screws and other microcomponents.
