Setup & Programming a 4th axis Machine in G code with ProgramGuide

See Below for Video Timeline: When making the move into more advanced technology most companies look to transition to a 4th axis mill as a first step. This type of kinematic setup can allow users to begin to work on multiple sides of a part as well as multiple fixtures. The Sinumerik control is equipped with several different embedded functions that allow for quick simple setup and programing on the shop floor or through a CAM system. In this webinar we will have an opportunity to explore real world programming examples that will take advantage of both milling and drilling on a 4th axis. From drilling holes around the peripheral of a part to wrapping milling features about a diameter. We will look at both vertical and horizontal milling setups. Once complete, attendees will have the confidence to apply this technology in their current challenges.
