CAM Software for high speed roughing strategy

ProfitTurning is a new lathe roughing strategy that blends trochoidal cutting passes with traditional linear passes to maintain a constant tool load, which is ideal for hard material machining. Trochoidal passes replace traditional cutting passes in sharp corners, and arcs are inserted wherever the tool touches a wall to allow the tool to roll in and out of the cut.
The new ProfitTurning strategy is available in SolidTurn Roughing and as a roughing option in Grooving.


The ProfitTurning strategy supports only cutting tools with circular inserts that are capable of cutting on both sides of the tool. Tool selection is limited to: full round groove tool, round turning insert, or any form/profile custom tool.
 
ProfitTurning is a high-speed roughing strategy that significantly reduces cycle times while increasing tool life. ProfitTurning replaces sharp transitions in the toolpath with rounded moves. The elimination of sharp changes in tool direction allows for consistently faster feedrates.
