GibbsCAM Supports Full Range of MORI SEIKI Machines at DMG MORI Manufacturing Days
MOORPARK, California, November 8, 2013 /PRNewswire/ --
Cimatron Limited (NASDAQ: CIMT), a leading provider of integrated CAD/CAM software
solutions for the toolmaking and manufacturing industries, today announced that its
GibbsCAM [http://www.gibbscam.com ](R) software supports all MORI SEIKI milling, turning,
mill-turn and multitasking (MTM) machine tools to be demonstrated at DMG MORI's
Manufacturing Days, a 4-day event at the machine tool builder's California research and
development facility, November 12-15. Among the many GibbsCAM features to be demonstrated
are its advanced 3D high speed machining and GibbsCAM programming of MORI SEIKI
multi-spindle, multi-turret, multi-tasking machines (MTM), including use of GibbsCAM's
Sync Manager to optimize turret utilization and cycle times. Manufacturing Days
[http://www.dmgmoriseikimfgusa.com/mdays ] will be held November 12-15, 2013, at the DMG
MORI Manufacturing and Digital Technology Laboratory, 3805 Faraday Avenue, Davis, CA.
Visitors are encouraged to register in advance, at the event site, http://www.dmgmoriseikimfgusa.com/mdays.
"We are pleased to be attending and exhibiting our software in support of DMG MORI,"
said Bill Gibbs, Cimatron's President North America. "We take pride in our ability to
support all the features of the latest, most capable MORI SEIKI machines, with the unique
and powerful, easy-to-use features of GibbsCAM, which demonstrate the real productivity
that can be derived from MORI SEIKI machines in a production environment."
Bill Gibbs will attend Manufacturing Days on Wednesday, November 13, to view the
latest technology from DMG MORI, and to visit with joint customers. Attendees will be able
to tour the DMG MORI Manufacturing and Digital Technology Laboratory, attend daily
seminars by executives from well known manufacturing companies, and see the latest
manufacturing technology from DMG MORI.
Gibbs has supported DMG and MORI SEIKI machine tools for nearly thirty years with
GibbsCAM's standard functions and custom post-processors, including post-processors for
every series of turning, mill-turn and MTM machines, as well as MORI SEIKI's NMV series of
5-axis machine tools. In addition, Gibbs took a leadership role in support of DMG MORI's
standardization initiative of 2012, which involved implementing the standard APT
(automatically programmed tool) programming language with DMG MORI extensions.
The standardization initiative, through the DMG MORI APT implementation, is intended
to eliminate the need for each CAM provider to develop a custom post-processor and machine
simulation model for each machine. Instead, DMG MORI provides a post-processor and
simulation package for its own CNC machines. GibbsCAM supports the APT implementation and
provides the option to generate output in DMG MORI's APT-CL (automatically programmed tool
- cutter location) format for MORI SEIKI multitasking and multi-axis machines. From that
format, MORI SEIKI's post-processors generate the G-code in a format that can be simulated
by the DMG MORI Manufacturing Suite-NC Simulation software on a PC and simulated and
executed by the machine controls. The DMG MORI Manufacturing Suite-NC Simulation software
can now simulate the NTX, NT, NMV, NMH, NH, NVX and NLX series of machines. GibbsCAM
simulation and custom post-processors are not affected by its ability to provide DMG MORI
APT-CL as output, and supports all the MORI SEIKI machine tools, including the 3- to
5-axis machining centers and multi-axis multitasking machines.
