Sandvik Coromant has partnered with HCL Technologies to integrate its PrimeTurning technology directly into CAMWorks.<\/p>\n<p>So, what exactly is PrimeTurning and how can you start using it?<\/p>\n<p>First, let\u2019s break down what it is, and how it works. At it&#8217;s core, PrimeTurning is a completely new way of performing turning operations that can result in 50% reduced cycle times and a more than 500% increased tool life vs conventional turning methods. Think of it as the VoluMill of Turning.<\/p>\n<p>The PrimeTurning methodology revolves around using specially designed tooling, combined with toolpaths that can cut in any direction which make it possible to achieve smaller entry angles and typically 2 to 3 times faster feed rates than conventional turning. PrimeTurning utilizes the CoroTurn Type-A Turn Inserts for Finishing operations and the Type-B Turn Inserts for Roughing operations.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-86717 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cati.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/solidworks-1629931610575.png\" \/> <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-86718 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cati.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/solidworks-1629931614986.png\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Combine these specialized tools with the ability for the tool to cut \u201cin reverse\u201d and move away from the chuck as it cuts, and you have the basis of this new technology.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-86719 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cati.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/solidworks-1629931619602.png\" \/><\/p>\n<p>So how do you get access to this new PrimeTurning functionality in CAMWorks?<\/p>\n<p>First, you\u2019ll need to download and install the new CAMWorks 2021Plus version. This can be found in the Downloads Area on <a href=\"http:\/\/www.camworks.com\">www.camworks.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>TechTip: <\/strong>PrimeTurning does require an additional license module to access. If you already own CAMWorks 2021 or a previous version and you\u2019re interested in upgrading to CAMWorks 2021Plus for PrimeTurning, contact CATI or your local VAR to see if you already have access to it or how you can get it.<\/p>\n<p>Once you\u2019ve installed CAMWorks 2021Plus, you will have access to over 80 PrimeTurning Tools pre-loaded into the TechDB which you can then add to your CAMWorks Tool Crib or select manually per operation.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-86720 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cati.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/graphical-user-interface-description-automaticall-22.png\" alt=\"Graphical user interface Description automatically generated\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>Tech Tip: <\/strong>When adding a CoroTurn Prime Tool, select <strong>Turn Tool <\/strong>as the Tool Type and <strong>Filter By: Turn Insert Type &gt; Prime Insert.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>You can then program your turned part in CAMWorks like you would any other turned part.<\/p>\n<p>Once you\u2019ve created your Roughing or Finishing Operation you can assign your Prime Insert Tool and Edit Definition.<\/p>\n<p>On the <strong>Turn Rough<\/strong> or <strong>Turn Finish<\/strong> tabs, you can select your <strong>Method<\/strong> as <strong>Prime Turning<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-86721 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cati.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/solidworks-1629931630109.png\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>Tech Tip: <\/strong>This is also the location where you can set your cut direction as <strong>Reverse <\/strong>to achieve the cutting motion away from the chuck.<\/p>\n<p>You will also have access to a new <strong>Prime Turning <\/strong>tab specifically for your PrimeTurning operation settings.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-86722 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cati.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/solidworks-1629931634702.png\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The last step will be to dial in your Feeds and Speeds.
