AcamWire9 Module

ACAM wirecut with a different

AcamWire is a highly competent CAM software that reconmended by wirecut EDM manufacturers like Sodick , Mitsubishi, Makino, Charmilles, Exceteck etc . You can regenerate the NC for any wirecut EDM without reprepare the complicated profile once switch over seamlessly amangst different wirecut EDM in your production line. 

Acam has more than 20 years application experience in supporting precision engineering industry in Singapore, Malaysia and Indonesia. There are more than 70% regional precision engineering companies are using AcamWire.

AcamWire9 Features

4 Axis Wire EDM tecnology +B Axis


The AcamWire9 support 2 & 4-Axis wire EDM machine plus B Axis.

It provides an extensive knowledge-based machining technology with stored information likes wire diameter, material, cutting conditions and offset to generate highly efficient machining codes.

Loaded with exclusive high precision and productivity cutting strategies for you to choose.

The AcamWire9.8 is straight forward and quick to learn yet powerful software for Wirecut machining with many key features.

Dummy Point

Clamp

Dummy or Transition Point

The machine travel to the transition point before go to next profile start point. It’s used to avoid the clamps

Generating NC using Machining Strategies
AcamWire9.8 provide the following cutting strategies to resolve the critical cutting requirement.

 

 Normal- Punch/Dies

    Finish all Cuts (123) in 1st profile

    then go to next profile

 

Precision- Punch/Die

   1) Cut all 1st cut (111)

   2) Follow by trim cut 1-by-1 (23,23,23)

 

High Precision- Punch/Dies

   1) Cut all 1st cut (111)

   2) Cut all 2nd cut (222)

   3) Cut all 3rd cut (333)…

change

NC of Wirecut-1

to

Wirecut-2 /3 /4

When your current working machine down, just apply the Convert Function to change all local condition same for the standby machine, then output the NC again.

Output NC to different machine code
