Gibbs and Associates has developed GibbsCAM post processors for Mori Seiki’s NZ series of machine tools. The software’s posted output effectively supports the advanced capabilities of these multitasking machine tools because of a collaborative effort with Mori Seiki, according to Gibbs.

The NZ series of machine tools are especially suited for mass-production machining. The NZ series machines can be configured with as many as three turrets, all using Mori Seiki’s BMT (built-in motor turret) technology. By placing the motor inside the turret, heat generation and vibration are kept to a minimum and transmission efficiency is improved. Cutting performance, speed and precision are also significantly increased, Gibbs says. The software company’s post processors are also available for Mori Seiki's NMV series of five-axis machine tools.
