CAD CAM Software for CNC mill turn

Optimize the programming of your live tool CNC lathes with BobCAD-CAM, the CAD-CAM software designed to combine turning and milling

Optimize the programming of your live tool CNC lathes with BobCAD-CAM, the CAD-CAM software designed to combine turning and milling operations in a single environment.

With powerful simulation and collision monitoring tools, you can confidently program, generate the CNC lathe G-Code, and machine projects of any complexity.

What is a mill turn?

mill-turn integrates milling, drilling and tapping functions within the CNC lathe itself.This is achieved by motorized turrets and additional axes (such as C and Y) that allow milling movements to be executed without the need to move the part to another machine.The result: a single assembly, less set-up times and finished parts with tighter tolerances.With the BobCAD-CAM Powered Lathe module, you can design, simulate, and machine complex parts directly from the CAD-CAM environment, taking advantage of all the advantages of modern multitasking machines.powerful simulation and collision monitoring tools, you can confidently program, generate the CNC lathe G-Code, and machine projects of any complexity.

What software to use to program CNC millturn ( lathe turning )?

What software is used to program mill-turn?

BobCAD-CAM offers a specialized Mill-Turn module that combines turning and milling strategies within a single environment.

How to avoid collisions when programming a

CNC lathe?

Using full virtual machine simulation, which reproduces

the actual movements of turrets, spindles, and tools

before generating the G-code.

Is BobCAD-CAM compatible with my current lathe?

Yes, BobCAD-CAM supports a wide range of CNC

machines with C/Y axes, multiple turrets, and popular controls such as Haas, Mazak, and Okuma.

Can I program my lathe from the PC?

Of course. The software generates the G-Code ready

for CNC control, allowing editing and simulating before machining.

What advantages does it bring compared to programming in the control?

Faster speed, reduced errors, better use of machine

time and complete visual simulation of the process.

Why use a CAD-CAM if I can program directly into

the control?

Although programming at the machine may seem

fast, this process can be considerably optimized

with the help of a CAD CAM system.

The reality is that programming a simple drilling

operation or a pouring can be faster in control,

but when we raise the level of complexity to program a complex part it will always be faster in a CADCAM system.

In the Motorized Lathe System the user has access to all

the lathe and milling strategies, this means that he will be

able to perform operations as simple as a drill and a

cast or as complex as a 3D finish or an interpolated

thread, for this reason there is no project that

BobCAD-CAM cannot carry out, in any of its CNC machines.

Programming with BobCAD-CAM is easy

The drilling and milling functions are easy to program due

to our programming guides. Now with the Motorized Lathe module the system simply allows the user to use the milling, drilling and turning guides for the same machine.

Faster and more accurate programming

Create intelligent paths with automatic roughing,

finishing, drilling, and grooving strategies.
Reduce programming times and increase the quality

of your results.

Advanced simulation and collision avoidance

BobCAD-CAM integrates a complete 3D simulator that reproduces the machine, turret, spindles and tools in

motion.Before submitting the code, you will be

able to validate the machining and ensure that

there will be no clashes or errors.

Cycle time optimization

The system analyzes the

sequence of operationsand

adjuststhe trajectoriesto

minimizedisplacements

and downtime.

Full compatibility with

modern CNC machines

Supports lathe mills with C, Y, B

axes, multiple spindles, turrets,

and configurations of up to

5 simultaneous axes.

Reduced human error

By eliminating the need to

program from the lathe control,

typing and configuration errors are reduced.

Increased competitiveness

Increase the production capacity of your workshop and tackle more complex projects without the need to invest in additional equipment.

Benefits of using BobCAD-CAM for cnc mill-turn

The BobCAD-CAM mill turn module integrates all the tools needed for mixed turning and milling operations

Specific functions of the mill turn

It allows you to create projects with multiple spindles, managing the automatic transfer of part between main and secondary spindles.
Ideal for turning centers with twin spindles or multi-axis systems.

Mill-Turn.

CNC Programming for Mill Turn has never been this easy!

Mill Turn is a complete multi-tasking CAD-CAM software that combines all of the powerful CNC programming functionality of both Milling and Turning into a single streamlined machining solution. BobCAD-CAM’s multi-tasking CNC software delivers high-performance features in an easy to use interface, designed to meet the complex programming demands of Mill Turn machining.

MILL TURN FEATURES

Spend more time running parts and less time programming with BobCAD’s Mill Turn CNC software for Live Tooling lathes that use C-axis. Use your main or sub spindle, upper or lower turret, part catcher, tails stock, Y-axis and more with our standard Mill Turn package. BobCAD’s simple wizard-driven interface makes programming quicker and easier. 5-axis turning centers that use a B-axis ( Milling head ) are fully supported, allowing for complex multi-tasking machines with up to 10 turrets and 10 spindles. BobCAD-CAM gives you the control to easily program intricate features and compound angles found on parts for medical, aerospace, oil & gas, automotive, consumer products and many more.
