Full 2-Axis Programming

GibbsCAM Production Turning provides a full range of functionality to define processes for efficiently machining 2-axis parts from wireframe geometry.

Graphical Tool Definition

The GibbsCAM Production Turning graphical user interface displays the user key dimensions so you can create error-free tooling easily. It supports a wide variety of predefined tool types and user-defined form tools.

Start/End Point Control

With GibbsCAM Production Turning, you have complete control over where you initially position the tool to start machining to where you finish machining. Automatically generate approach extensions if the tool is started off the machined profile.

Advanced Roughing Routines

GibbsCAM Production Turning provides a full range of roughing routines like turn roughing cycles for plunge roughing with automatic shoulder stroking and pattern shift roughing with constant path and constant step over choices.

Material Awareness

GibbsCAM Production Turning maintains an awareness of remaining stock material to calculate entry/exit and toolpath moves automatically, which reduces programming time and eliminates air-cutting. Knowing the location of the remaining stock enables the system to define rapids that avoid material automatically.

Tool Approach Control

With GibbsCAM Production Turning, you can define toolpaths so the tool cuts in both forward and reverse directions or in one direction only. No tool dragging automatically calculates optimal cutting toolpaths, so the tool always cuts in a forward insert direction.

Canned Cycle Support

Production Turning provides support for a wide range of canned cycles like face, OD/ID and casting canned-cycles for roughing and finishing operations, and most drill-type cycles.

Threading

GibbsCAM Production Turning includes a built-in library for all popular thread form data so you can program threads quickly and accurately.
