AMM
ADVANCED 5 AXIS MODULE
CHARACTERISTICS
Cinematic Simulation
The cinematic simulation module allows a
realistic representation of the whole CNC
machine showing the movement of all
axis, both linear and revolving. The aim is
to avoid unnecessary attempt on the real
machine and to be sure to work the piece
without any problem related to limit
switch or collisions with the equipment

The Advanced Multiaxis Machining module, empowers SUM3D
performances, providing new and multiple working strategies from 3 to 5
axis.
Those potentialities allow effective problem-solving in programming
multifunctional or robot 5 axis machines.
The aim is to reduce machining time for the phases of roughing, semifinishing, re-machining and finishing and to obtain the piece all done
avoiding post machining operations to re-positioning or re-finishing it with
the help of other technologies (for example with electrodes).

Collisions’ control
During the machining all surfaces of the
work piece and of the toolholder are in
risk of collision. In this case the AMM
module gives many options to avoid these
risks using, if necessary, different
orientations of the axis. Anyway the
surfaces that are not worked to avoid
collision, could be selected in order to be
verified
Multi-axis Postprocessor
Most of 5 axis machines' postprocessor
are available. Additional postprocessor can
be developed in order to satisfy client's
need. Furthermore it is possible to draw
and activate the geometric part of any 3
or 5 axis machine, in order to be able to
display it on the cinematic simulation

MAIN FEATURES OF THE MODULE
Multiple
n strategies to calculate the 4/5 axis toolpath
Advanced
n systems for the orientation of the tool's axis with the possibility to handle the
tool contact point and to determine the working area. Orientation can be applied also to
3 axis' SUM3D standard machining.
n
Four levels of collision's control, for all the tool movements in contact with the piece and
during re-positioning. These controls are performed both on machining surfaces and on
additional surfaces selected by the user (for example tools)
n
Full connections control, meaning all the movements to be done in case of path
suspensions (fissure or parts not to be machined) between the job increases and the
connection/disconnection
n of the security area given by plans, cylinders or spheres.
Control
n of the rough that consents to avoid any eventual empty toolpath.
Control
n of the multiple roughing strategies optimised for specific needs (impellers or
Control
turbines)
n
Conversion of any kind of parallel job steps in spiral machining.
