The latest version of Esprit CAM continues to build off earlier versions of the software and includes pre-packaged software for programming multitasking mill-turn machine tools. The software eliminates the need for end users to have to devote time to post-processor writing and machine definition, formerly routine steps that have increased in complexity with the availability of multitasking machine tools. The software's real-time simulation performs comprehensive verification of the machining processes without taking machines offline for expensive dry runs, leaving programmers confident of the results prior to cutting parts, the company says.
