CAPSmill
TM
Software for cycle time reduction and programming
For CNC Machining Centers
CAPSmill cuts your costs
Reduce cycle timeSpecially designed to generate minimal cycle time programs
Reduce machine downtimeFor dry runs, program entry, program editing and correction
Reduce part rejectionsDuring tryouts
Reduce programming timeFirst-time-right programs, fast
Reduce tool costEfficient and appropriate tool paths
Reduce damage to machineEliminate accidents, spindle overuse
Reduce documentation timeShop documents generated automatically
Reduce skill level of programmerDoes not need an engineer - a machinist can do the programming
Draw part and blank shapes
How CAPSmill works
Cycle time OK?No
Yes
Define machining operations
Check tool path
Edit machining parameters
Check cycle time, spindle usage
Generate NC program
Generate shop documents
DNC to machine
Conversational software
Reduce programming timeReduce skill level of programmer
No CNC programming knowledge needed – just machining knowledge.Training time is typically 2 – 4 hours.
Reduce cycle timeReduce tool costReduce skill level of programmer
Automatic cutting parameters selection
Eliminates a big cause of low cycle times – poor FS selection.Reduces tool wear caused by poor FS selection.
Reduce cycle timeReduce tool costReduce programming timeReduce skill level of programmer
Wide variety of operations with unique tool paths
Eliminates a big cause of low cycle times – inefficient tool paths.Improves tool life because of proper usage.
Tool selection expert system
Reduce machine downtimeReduce programming timeReduce skill level of programmer
Suggests appropriate tools based on operation being performed.Spindle direction is automatically decided – eliminates a big cause of errors.Eliminates dry run to check for such errors.
Tools database
Reduce machine downtimeReduce skill level of programmer
Extensive library of tools commonly used in machining.Can be configured by the user.Tools can be classified according to manufacturer.
Automatic tool gouge prevention
Reduce cycle timeReduce machine downtimeReduce tool costReduce damage to machineReduce skill level of programmer
Tool removes only whatever material it can, does not gouge into part.Reduces cycle time - you can use roughing tools to the maximum.
Cycle time calculation
Reduce cycle timeReduce documentation timeReduce skill level of programmer
Extremely accurate cycle time – less than 1 % error.Try out many process options, decide on the one with least cycle time.Generates printable cycle time sheet.
Spindle power graph
Reduce cycle timeReduce damage to machine
Check if you are using the available spindle power to the maximum.Check if you are over-using the spindle.
Highly effective tool path simulation
Reduce machine downtimeReduce part rejectionsReduce damage to machine
Variety of simulation options - Zoom, pan, single block, tool-wise, autoDynamic tool position and parameter display.Eliminates dry run, rejections and accidents.
Efficient, fully documented programs
Reduce programming timeReduce machine downtimeReduce skill level of programmer
Easy to understand because of extensive commentsHas canned cycles, nose radius compensation commandsNo editing required on machine.Build your own machine-specific program format, easily.
DNC
Reduce machine downtime
Inbuilt DNC eliminates program entry time
CAD for milling
Reduce programming timeReduce skill level of programmer
Special functions for quick definition of partsCan import part and raw material shapes from CAD software
Machining expert
Reduce programming timeReduce skill level of programmer
Quick reference for machining dataDiagnostics for machining problems
Tutorials
Reduce skill level of programmer
Cover all aspects of the softwareEnable you to learn the software yourself, in 2 to 4 hours.
Shop floor documentation – automatic
Reduce machine downtimeReduce documentation timeReduce skill level of programmer
Use in shop floor, file away for future reference.Tools list – can be given to operator for tool settingTool layout sheet - graphical details of each operation.Eliminates errors in information flow to shop floor.
Generic postprocessor
Reduce machine downtimeReduce programming timeReduce skill level of programmer
Makes posts to suit your machine and style of programming.Conversational, very easy to use.
