Powerful packed with powerful machining strategies. Fast in computation speed and in programming time. Easy to Use - One of the easiest systems to learn, use and implement. Cost Effective - Priced to provide unsurpassed value for customer investment.

3 Easy to use Graphical Interface Native Windows user interface Windows standards Compliant Shaded graphics Work unambiguously in shaded graphics mode Browser User interface innovations to ease programming complexity

4 What is VisualTURN? Module running inside VisualCAD/CAM Off-line programming system used to program 2-axis CNC turning centers or lathes. Includes powerful machining methods to handle complex programming tasks Includes built-in cut material visualization for error free programming Free post-processor generator to allow posting to virtually any controller on the planet.

5 File Import/Export Options VisualTURN in a module that runs inside VisualCAD/CAM and leverages the various file translators of VisualCAD to read in a variety of file formats reliably and accurately. STL IGES SAT STEP

6 VisualTURN Browser Manage CAM data using the Browser. Use the browser to Program & Simulate Machining Operations

7 Machining Objects Browser The Machining Objects browser allows management of Tools and Knowledge Bases.

8 Machining Operation Types Create these types of machining operations in VisualTURN: Turning Turn Roughing and Finishing for Outer Diameter (OD), Inner diameter (ID) and Front Facing Grooving - Groove Roughing and Finishing for Outer Diameter, (OD), Inner diameter (ID) and Front Facing Follow Curve - Similar to finishing where toolpath follows the selected part geometry in OD, ID and Face Threading - Machine OD and ID threads on a part Parting - Cut off the finished part from rest of the stock in OD Hole Making - Drill, tap, bore and reverse bore holes

9 VisualTurn Work Flow Load Part and Stock Create Roughing Operations Create Pre-Finish Operations Simulate Material Removal Create Finishing Operations Output Toolpaths to Machine

10 Programming Workflow Program tab Machine Setup, Define Stock, Create Machining Operations Simulate tab Simulate machining operations

11 Tools Manager Found under Machining Objects browser allows the user to - Create, edit Turn inserts, drill tools - Set feeds & speeds for inserts & tools - Load tools from library - Save tools to library - List tools in session

12 Turning Tool Types Support for various tool and insert types: Diamond, Tri, Circle, Trigon, Parallelogram, Groove, Thread and Parting-off

13 Hole Making Tool Types Support for various hole making tool types: Drill, Center-drill, Reamer, Tap, Bore, Reverse Bore

14 Turn Operation Types

15 Turn Roughing Efficiently remove material from stock. Using Outer Diameter (OD), Inner Diameter (ID) or Front Facing approach types.

16 Turn Finishing Use this to finish the shape of the turned part. Using OD, ID and Front Face approach types.

17 Groove Roughing Use Grooving tools to rough out grooves in OD, ID and Face

18 Groove Finishing Use grooving tools to finish grooves in OD, ID and Face

19 Follow Curve Finishing Follow user defined curves to better control on cleanup.

20 Threading Use threading inserts to cut straight and tapered threads

21 Parting Off Use part-off tools to cut off stock from chuck.

22 Hole Making Use various strategies to machine axial holes.

23 Feeds/Speeds Customization Save and Load feeds & speeds

24 Stock Models & Simulation Use various types of stock model for cut material simulation. Use various cut-away modes for stock display.

25 Graphical Toolpath Viewer Use the toolpath viewer to graphically step through toolpath motions

26 Knowledge Bases archive an entire machining strategy specific to a certain class of parts machining strategy can include both, the sequence of machining processes used as well as the specific parameters used in each of these machining processes reuse knowledge base by loading it on other parts that utilize a similar set of machining operation. Set defaults - allows the reuse of the machining parameters without having to enter the same parameters when creating new machining operations on same part or new part files

27 Post Processors VisualTURN comes with a large set of post-processors to choose from Use Post-Processor editor to create your own posts.

28 Post Processor Generator Use Post generator to create new posts or to customize existing ones

29 Isometric View orientations Iso View orientations to orient the view for turn coordinate system.
