CAM for CNC MILLING MACHINE



Before we learn about CAM for CNC Mill, we must know first what CNC milling machines are.

CNC milling machines are machines that each movements are controlled by computers.
It's got the X Y Z axes and also have a main spindle. Spindle is a place to install the tool that is used to cut the workpiece.

This is an axis diagram for 3 axis CNC Machines.

X is left and right movements of the table
Y is foward and backward movements of the table
Z is up and down movements of the spindle

While 5 axis CNC Machines have 2 additional axis, for example A and C axis.


Movements can vary widely depending on the program that we created.

Watch this video.








PowerMill is a Software from Delcam that is used to create programs that will be used on CNC Milling machines.
Powermill can be used for three axis CNC machines and also the five axis CNC Machines.
It has a high ability to create programs for precise, fast and free collisions
