Latest Software Version Offers Process Reliability

Production Softwares Offer Significant Performance Boosts
The Hexagon Production Software business will present manufacturing solutions EdgeCAM, Radan, SurfCAM, WorkNC and NCSimul, designed to increase efficiency while ensuring quality, at SOUTHTEC 2019. EdgeCAM 2020.0 introduces a five-axis ‘tilt’ control strategy, combined with a ‘barrel cutter’. The quick-nest mode in Radan 2020.0 provides a more visual interface, as well as limited upfront setup for projects and a redesigned new-project dialog that enables users to nest more quickly.
Machines Sport Several Productivity-Enhancing Features
Mazak Corporation will spotlight its quick turn 250MSY multi-tasking machine, QT-Primos 100 turning center with GR100 gantry loader and the VCN-570C vertical machining center at SOUTHTEC 2019. The quick turn 250MSY sports several productivity-enhancing features, including a direct-drive turret design, high-torque main spindle, a powerful milling spindle and Mazatrol SmoothG CNC control.
Toolholding System Generates Extremely High Clamping Forces
Rego-Fix will feature its industry-leading powRgrip toolholding collet system at SOUTHTEC 2019. The toolholder generates extremely high clamping forces equal to or higher than those of shrink-fit holders. The system is a safe, precise and cost-effective system developed especially for high-speed cutting and high-performance cutting strategies, which helps overcome challenges of difficult-to-machine materials, aggressive metal removal requirements or machining situations involving long, awkward tool overhangs.
