SolidCAM Mill Turn CNC Machining

A fully integrated solution for advanced multi-turret, multi-spindle mill turn CNC machining, with unlimited support for any number of axes and channels.

Advanced Mill-Turn Features

Ease of Use Limitless Tool Manager Machine Control Operation Machine Simulation Short Cycle Times

Ease of Use

Within the SolidCAM interface, fully embedded inside SOLIDWORKS or Autodesk Inventor, you can program both milling and turning operations across main and sub spindles, while controlling turrets, tailstocks, steady rests, and more.

Milling operations also feature SolidCAM’s exclusive, patented iMachining technology, available only within SolidCAM.

Limitless Tool Manager

SolidCAM industry leading tool manager allows you to store, assemble, and manage tools and cutting conditions directly within the machine environment using Machine Preview, all through an intuitive, user-friendly interface.

The ToolKit supports every type of face, axial, angular, and multi-cutter holder, fully meeting the demands of advanced mill-turn tooling.

Individual tool components can also be imported directly as CAD data from the tool manufacturer’s online catalogues.

Machine Control Operation

MCOs allow you to define machine actions that are not directly related to toolpaths, such as turret and spindle movements, chuck open/close, coolant control, and more.

Mill-turn post-processors come with built-in standard MCO cycles that significantly reduce programming time. These cycles use simple parameters that require minimal input to execute essential machine functions. With MCOs, you can program:

Tool changes
Movement of machine components
Part transfer
Fixture clamping and unclamping
Bar feeder operations
Coolant control
Machine modes
Axis and phase synchronisation
Output of any G or M code

Machine Simulation

Short Cycle Times

The advanced yet intuitive Channel Synchronisation Manager guides you through the correct sequence of operations, highlights potential conflicts, and helps you prevent them with ease.

It is ideal for synchronising and optimising all machining processes to achieve maximum production efficiency.

SolidCAM supports an unlimited number of channels and fully accommodates all machine functions and cutting modes.

Built-in clash avoidance for channel synchronisation
Superimposition support
Rotary axes and drive unit sharing
