Cimatron, Mazak & Iscar host 5-Axis milling event in Turkey

Askin Idigu, the general manager of Onaymak, a CimatronE customer who attended the event, said: "The seminar and milling demonstration showed us how we can take hours off of our manufacturing process with CimatronE's 5-Axis for tooling, when compared to 3-Axis, as well as with CimatronE's roughing capabilities. It also provided us with a great example as to how machines, tools, and the software that they use, must work hand-in-hand in order to create a high quality product."

The seminar was a joint initiative of Tekyaz, Mazak and Iscar. It featured presentations by all three companies and the live machining of a part, showcasing CimatronE's high-speed milling roughing, plunge milling for deep cavities, and 5-Axis continuous surface machining on hard or exotic steels.

"Time and again, CimatronE has proven its worth as the industry's CAD/CAM software solution of choice, maximizing utilization of the latest machining and cutting technologies available," said Mr Ira Bareket, Cimatron's VP Sales and Marketing.

"The seminar offered manufacturers a valuable opportunity to see for themselves how CimatronE produces an optimal program for powering a Mazak Variaxis machine equipped with Iscar's latest cutting tools. CimatronE's 5-Axis program protects the machine from wear, prolongs tool life and offers significant productivity gains by shortening cycle times."
