CAM Software Automates Part Costing and Cycle Time Calculations
IMTS22: Solidline CAMculator is available worldwide with HCL CAMWorks. The system reduces calculation time for costing and enables increased consistency.
The German PLM systems company Solidline GmbH expands its CAM solution offerings to the USA through a partnership with HCL Technologies, makers of CAMWorks, and the release of Solidline CAMculator.
Solidline CAMculator is designed to optimize costing to save time and labor. The company says that traditional costing is calculated using old stock, estimated values or trial programming. CAMculator uses data from the CAM model to calculate cycle time, which can be used to ultimately program and calculate the cost of an entire component. Solidline CAMculator supports the automation and costing of parts for up to five-axis simultaneous machining.
The system enables companies to reduce calculation time and calculate costing of components based on the actual NC code of a part. Because it uses data from the CAM model, companies can achieve repeat accuracy and company-wide consistency.
The company says its goal is to deliver optimal solutions and services that continuously improve results. It addresses everything from consulting to installation, configuration, training and support.
