GibbsCAM GO Turning Options

Machine Simulation

  • Model machine tool and simulate machine tool motions to verify setup and all turning programs.

CutData

  • Over 71,000 machining recommendations for feeds and speeds for use with Material Database.

Advanced CS

  • Multiple coordinate systems for modeling and 4- and 5-axis rotary positioning.

MTM Level 1

  • Supports single flow operations (multiple spindles, milling and turning utility operations, nonstandard axes [i.e. a quill or W-axis], robot, move tool group, pallet changer, bar feeder, parts catcher, steady rest, tailstock).

2,5D Solids

  • Directly create or import, edit and machine 2.5D solid parts. Includes automated feature recognition for holes. High-quality toolpath maintains analytic elements

VoluTurn

  • Adds powerful high speed turning solution for GibbsCAM Turning. Ideal for reducing tool wear with round inserts in hard materials and superalloys.

Polar & Cylindrical Interpolation

  • Simultaneously drive one rotary axis (A, B, or C), with X. Includes the ability to wrap a geometry shape around a cylinder via rotary axis interpolation, keeping the tool on Y0, and rotary face milling for mill-turn machines. Supports Polar (mill-turn) and Cylindrical (mill or mill-turn) interpolation functions for controls with these functions.

Interface Package

  • Parasolid, ACIS/SAT, STEP und VDA-Import
  • Import solid model designs from Parasolid and IGES format CAD files with ability to machine with mill functionality. Also includes the direct read of SolidWorks and Solid Edge model files.

Basic Turning

  • 2D Wireframe Turning
  • Hole-Making Sub-Routines
  • Fully associative toolpaths
  • IGES-, DXF-Read/Write und DWG-Read
  • Toolpath Visualization and Verification
  • NC-data transfer to machine via RS232
  • Full functionality for contouring, automatic roughing, multiple hills and valleys, plunge roughing, threading, repetitive shape roughing, drilling, tapping and boring.

Prime Turning

  • Prime Turning delivers advanced multi-directional turning for increased productivity, reduced cycle time, and extended tool life—ideal for complex geometries and hard materials machining efficiency.

Y Axis Turning

  • Y Axis Turning enables off-center milling, drilling, and complex contouring on turning centers, enhancing versatility and precision for multi-task machining in a single setup.

B Axis Turning

  • B Axis Turning offers full contouring flexibility with tool tilt control, enabling precise machining of complex shapes and multi-angle operations in a single setup.
