New CAMWorks Virtual Machine for G-code Machine Simulation
Purpose:
To provide an application to virtually simulate the NC-codes in
actual
machining environment. This will help the user to check for
possible collisions
with machine components and to verify potential issues in the NC
program.
Implementation:
CAMWorks Virtual Machine is a Machine Simulation application
which is
available as part of the CAMWorks suite of licensed modules.
The CAMWorks Virtual Machine application is available in
Standard, Premium
and Professional editions. Users need to purchase a separate
license from
their respective CAMWorks Value Added Resellers for CAMWorks
Virtual
Machine application to function.
Capabilities of CAMWorks Virtual Machine include:
Multi-tasking and Mill Turn Support - Full support for complex
multi-
tasking and mill-turn machines including 4 axis dual turret,
dual spindle
lathes as well as multi axis mill-turn machines with milling
heads, lower
turrets and sub-spindles is available.
Synchronized Simultaneous Machining - Use CAMWorks Sync
Manager to synchronize your operations and then simulate them
directly
from the G-code.
Interactive G-code Editor - Provides the user with the ability
to edit
the G-code and replay the simulation to ensure the error has
been
corrected and a quality part will be machined.
Complete Machine Monitoring - Machine components, fixture
components, tools, tool holders, stock, and the finished part
can all be
monitored for interference and the system can stop automatically
or
report any collision or interference.
Error Message Window and Reporting - Makes it easier to find
and
correct errors in the G-code program. The simple link between
message
window and G-code editor helps user to identify the part of the
G-code
which would have caused the interference.
Full Canned Cycle Support - Milling and turning canned cycles
are
fully supported and simulated directly from the actual G-code
used for
CNC machining.

can be created from
the user-identified faces.
Implementation:
In the example macro, the colors used in the part are listed
along with the
number of faces having identical colors. User can create a Multi
Surface
feature by selecting the checkboxes. This will ensure that the
multi surface
feature is created from the faces having the selected
colors.
New Similar UI for all Pages under Tool tab of Mill Operations

Turn
Improved Change in name of the Example Turn Machines
Purpose: The default names of the Turn and Mill-Turn machines
are confusing. It has
been changed as per the industry name.
Implementation:
Turn-in Turn Single Turret - inch Turn in 4ax (2 + 2) Turn Twin
Turret - inch Mill/Turn in Mill-Turn Single Turret - inch
Mill/Turn-in 4ax (2+2) Mill-Turn Twin Turret - inch

Twin Turret - metric Mill/Turn mm Mill-Turn Single Turret - metric
Mill/Turn-mm 4ax (2+2) Mill-Turn Twin Turret - metric
New View and Compute the Canned Cycle Start Position
Purpose:
Provide the ability to compute the canned cycle start point
based on the
stock and to override the automatically computed turn canned
cycle start
position.
Implementation:
In the previous versions of CAMWorks, the Canned cycle start
position was
computed during post processing as a bounding box based on the
feature
geometry, the feature extents to the stock, and the X and Z
clearance
values. The Canned cycle start position could not be graphically
identified nor
could it be edited at the operation level. User could verify it
only in the
posted code and in case it was incorrect, user had to manually
change it in
the code.
From CAMWorks 2014 onwards, the Canned cycle start position can
be
verified and edited at the Operation level itself without the
need to verify it in
the posted code. The following functions make this possible:
The Canned cycle start position can be graphically identified
when the
Operations Parameters dialog for the Roughing operation is
open.
Alternative methods to define/edit the start point of the canned
cycle
using Feature Extents or From WIP.
Method to manually define/edit the start position of the canned
cycle.
Improved Better associativity of the turn features defined from
Sketches
Purpose: Associate turn feature segments with the sketch
segments so that turn
feature gets rebuilt properly.
Implementation:
Previously, the turn feature would fail to rebuild if any of the
segment start
or end did not match with the new profile. For the features
defined from the
sketch, this will not be the case and the features will get
rebuilt
successfully.

New Create Turn Feature from Model Faces
Purpose: Simplify entity selection for defining turn feature by
providing a new
functionality to define turn feature from model faces.
Implementation:
In previous versions of CAMWorks, to interactively create a turn
feature, user
had to pick entities from a closed sketch or part profile. This
method can
prove to be tedious while picking segment entities for complex
turn parts.
From CAMWorks 2014 onwards, a new functionality that enables
turn
features to be interactively defined using model faces has been
provided.
This method of interactively defining a turn feature can be
implemented only
when the Part Profile method is set to Plane Section.
Creating a turn feature from model faces is more intuitive and
provides a
more robust Turn Feature rebuild.
Improved Application of SolidWorks Filters to simplify Turn
Feature Creation
Purpose: Simplify the process of interactively creating a Turn
feature by eliminating
the accidental selection of unintended entities.
Implementation:
In previous versions of CAMWorks, while interactively defining
turn feature
by picking turn segments, users would occasionally end up
picking model
faces, edges, silhouette profiles, or sketch entities instead of
the intended
turn segment entity.
From CAMWorks 2014 onwards, SolidWorks filters will be applied
while
interactively defining turn features.
In the Part Profile method is Plane Section, the SolidWorks
filter Filter Faces ensures that only turn model faces are
selected.
In the Part Profile method is Revolved Section, the SolidWorks
filter Filter Vertices ensures that only turn segment entities are
selected.
For turn features defined from open or closed sketches, the
SolidWorks filter Filter Vertices ensures that only turn segment
entities are selected.
Improved Simplified Interactive Turn Feature Creation
Purpose: Simplify the process of interactively creating a Turn
feature
Implementation:
Button to delete all selected entities in the Insert Turn
Feature and Edit Turn
Feature dialogs. This facilitates the deletion of all the
entities in the Selected
Entities list of the Insert Turn Feature and Edit Turn Feature
dialogs.

New Provision to override Turn Feature Extents at Operation
Level
Purpose:
Enables changing the Turn Feature Extents at the Turn Operation
level in
addition to the existing functionality of defining Feature
extents at the
Feature level.
Implementation:
Defining the Turn Feature extents will be available on the
Feature Options
tab of the Operation Parameters dialog for the following Turn
operations:
- Face Rough
- Face Finish
- Turn Rough
- Turn Finish
- Bore Rough
- Bore Finish
- Rough Groove
- Finish Groove
Advantages:
- If a feature is machined using more than one operation, then
if
required, different Feature Extents definition can be assigned
to the
different operations. This eliminates the need to create
multiple
instances of the same feature with different Feature Extents
definition. - If the toolpath generated for an operation is not as
desired due to the
feature extents definition, then this definition can be changed
at the
Operation level itself and verified. This eliminates the need to
edit it at
the Feature level, return to the operation and regenerate
toolpaths.
New Generate Threading operations using Groove Inserts
Purpose: Enables machining of threading operations using Groove
inserts
Implementation:
In previous versions of CAMWorks, only thread and user-defined
inserts
could be used to machine threads.
From CAMWorks 2014, groove inserts, too, can be used to machine
threads.
Using Groove inserts facilitates machining of square
threads.
Improved Auto Setting for Turn Cored Stock
Purpose: Simplify the setting for defining a Turn Cored
Stock
Implementation:
In previous versions of CAMWorks, to change the value of the
core diameter
of the stock, the user had to set the strategy to Cored. Then
only the core
diameter value could be modified.
With this new version of CAMWorks, the control for Core Diameter
will always
be active. When a value greater than 0 is assigned as Core
diameter, the Strategy will automatically be set to Cored when the
user shifts focus out of
the Core Diameter control.

New Improvements to the Sub spindle operation
Purpose: Few of the sub spindle commands were missing and were
not organized
properly.
Implementation:
Newly modified UI will have the following:
1. Spindle Axis Control (formerly Spindle on/off/lock) will have
following options:
- Engage Milling Mode
- Disengage Milling Mode
- Lock
- Unlock
2. Spindle Clamp/ Unclamp has been renamed to Fixture
Clamp/Unclamp
3. Spindle speed will have an option to turn off the
spindle.
4. Synchronize Spindles will have following options:
- Speed synchronization for Turning
- Phase synchronization for Turning
- Turn off synchronization for Turning
- Mill C-Axis synchronization
- Turn off Mill C-axis synchronization
New Support of Mill Holders for Turn Single Point Operations
Purpose: For Turn Single Point Operations (Centre Drill, Drill
and Tap), Mill Holders can
now be assigned to the Mill tools used for the operations.
Implementation:
Turn Single Point Operations make use of Mill Tools. In previous
versions of
CAMWorks, Mill Holders could not be paired with the Mill Tools
used for
machining the Single Point operations in Turn.
From CAMWorks 2014 onwards, Mill Holders can be paired with the
Mill Tools
used for Single Point operations in Turn.
For these operations, The Tool Crib Page in the Operation
Parameters dialog
box will display Mill Holders which have been defined in the
TechDB Holder
library. These Holders can then be paired with the selected
tool.
The newly introduced Holder Page under Tool Tab of the
Operation
Parameters dialog displays the parameter values for the selected
Holder.
These parameters can be edited as per requirements.
The Tool Holder will now be visible in the Graphics area
during:
Toolpath Verification and Preview (when Tool tab of
Operation
Parameters dialog is active)

New Preview Window in Create Tool/Holder utility
Purpose: Provides a preview of the user-defined turn tool or
holder in the Create
Tool/Holder utility.
Implementation:
In previous versions of CAMWorks, for Mill and Turn, when a
user-defined
tool or holder was created, there was no way of knowing whether
the
tool/holder would get created and how its appearance and
orientation would
be.
From CAMWorks 2014 onwards, a Preview window is provided in the
Create
Tool/Holder utility. This Preview window gives the user an idea
of the tool or
holder shape before saving it as a tool or holder file.

CAMWorks Licensing
New Saving files with CAMWorks data when the license is lost in
the middle of a session
Purpose:
Once a file is opened in CAMWorks, the CAMWorks data present in
this file
will be saved in the same mode (Commercial/ Educational, etc.)
in which it
was originally opened.
Implementation:
Previously, if the CAMWorks license was lost during the middle
of a
CAMWorks session, then the part or assembly file currently open
would get
saved in Demonstration mode. CAMWorks data in files saved in
Demonstration mode could not be restored in Commercial,
Educational or
other modes.
With the new functionality, if the CAMWorks license is lost or
expires during
the middle of a CAMWorks session, the file will still be saved
in the same
mode as that in which it was originally opened. However, any
subsequent
files opened will be saved in Demonstration mode unless a new
license is
activated.
New Functionality to configure CAMWorks License from within
CAMWorks
Purpose:
Provision to request and configure FlexLM software license
from
within CAMWorks.
Provision to update Hardware Dongle license from within
CAMWorks
when a .COD file is received.
Implementation:
- A command for launching the CAMWorks License Manager utility
from
within the CAMWorks application is now provided.
- If a valid license is not detected by CAMWorks when the
application is
launched, then a Warning Message is displayed. This message
states
the exact cause for non-detection of the valid CAMWorks license
and
provides intuitive options to activate the license or continue
in
Demonstration mode.
Advantages: Eliminates the need to separately launch the
CAMWorks License Manager
utility to configure/update/view the CAMWorks License.
Improved Number of concurrent users on a floating license
Purpose: The maximum number of concurrent users allowed on the
floating license
network will be equal to the total number of CAMWorks licenses
purchased.
Implementation:
Unlimited computers can be setup as clients on a floating
license network.
However, the maximum permissible number of concurrent users is
equal to
the number of floating licenses purchased.
If different CAMWorks licensed modules are being used by
different clients,
then the clients can access the modules on a first-come,
first-serve basis till
the number of concurrent users equal the number of licenses
purchased.
Beyond this point, all available licenses will be in use and
additional
concurrent users wont be able to access any modules.

New Restrictions on saving Commercial mode files in Educational
or Demo versions
Purpose: CAMWorks data saved in Commercial mode cannot be saved
in
Demonstration or Educational mode.
Implementation:
Previously, if a Commercial mode file was opened in
Demonstration or
Educational mode, then the part or assembly file would get saved
in
Demonstration or Educational mode. CAMWorks data in files saved
in
Demonstration or Educational mode could not be restored in
Commercial,
Educational or other modes.
With the new functionality, CAMWorks will not allow conversion
of
Commercial mode file into any other modes.
