http://www.zwsoft.com/forum/viewthread.php?tid=839 We are at a stage where we are considering a 5 axis software upgrade. Does VX have a viable 5 axis product? If so is this something we could demo?

Paulverisor 2010-02-09 14:04:03 http://www.zwsoft.com/forum/viewthread.php?tid=839&pid=4550 If you're comfortable providing us with a part and machining instructions, we'd be happy to review the application and give you an answer. bobf4fun 2010-02-09 11:49:39 http://www.zwsoft.com/forum/viewthread.php?tid=839&pid=4549 I appreciate your replies. I will attach a picture of an example of a challenging application which we machine. This is machined on a drum. With our current software we can not rough out with a flat end cutter. The machined part is close to 30 inches in diameter. The machine is a DMU125P Deckel. The way this machines is the table rotates and the head of the tool is at 90 degrees to the table. Is this something that VX 5 axis would be able to do well?

I gave trainings and support it for several customers in Germany and Switzerland. The customer are all satiesfied. VX also have some good 5X improvements in VX 14.2. The developer did a good job. But it is very important what you want to do? Thomas Reiff Snoopy 2010-02-09 08:32:14 http://www.zwsoft.com/forum/viewthread.php?tid=839&pid=4536 I know... I'm biased but I'd still like to know what type of work you're hoping to accomplish. 5-axis covers broad territory and VX is particularly good at some things and hopeless at others... Please share the types of parts and machining ops. bobf4fun 2010-02-04 08:53:39
