Original Manufacturer Data
OPTICAM Classic offers original technology databases for all common manufacturers. The user can either access the machine databases directly via interfaces, import the machine databases directly or is provided with a database which has already been converted.
Highlights.
Optimization in all fields of application.
The Slug Retention automatically creates markings in cutting plates; during the punching process, these markings prevent the punched-out part from sticking to the punch and thus from damaging the cutting tool. This extends the service life of cutting tools significantly.
The projection under an angle enables the machining of variable reference heights. Thus, a circumferential cylindrical collar of constant height can be created in the workpiece. The tapered section is calculated by OPTICAM Classic and does not already have to be included in the construction of the 3D model.
OPTICAM Classic offers the functionality to control additional axes of rotation and thus multi-axial machining during wire EDM. Thus it is possible to machine complex workpieces without any restrictions.

Ruled Surface Pocketing enables the machining of ruled surfaces without any slugs. This reduces the programming effort significantly, and the machining operation can be executed without having to be monitored.
Partial Pocketing is used to combine normal roughing and pocketing. It prevents the creation of slugs during roughing and thus enables an unattended and undisturbed operation.
To improve the accuracy of fit between punches and dies, this macro modifies ("manipulates") the radii contained in a geometry.
The Part Figure Machining is used to machine geometry sections with different qualities.
The Turning Tool Module calculates the geometry necessary for the wire EDM of profile turning tools, depending on the cutting angle and the frontal and lateral clearance angle on the turning tool.
The True Contour Machining is used for the production of industrial diamonds (PCD). An optional possibility is the automatic nesting of geometries. The machining is executed on the given geometry without radius compensation.
The gear module is used to calculate involute gears. The involute can be manipulated very easily by entering a profile shift, the roller distance, testing mass across teeth, tip and root diameter as well as tip and root radii. Additionally, the gear module provides all the data and dimensions for machining and inspecting the gear.
