From 2-axis to 22-axis, ESPRIT CAD CAM software is packed with power to handle the most complex, multi-function mill-turn machines, while easy enough to quickly program even the simplest turning job. Basic turning equipment and multi-task or swiss style lathes with the most complex tooling, turret, and spindle configurations are easily programmed to perform turning, C-axis, Y-axis and even B-axis milling with complete synchronization, post processing and machine simulation - all from one easy to use Windows Native programming interface.

Production Machining...
A complete tool kit to program any part on any lathe.

ESPRIT CAD CAM software delivers production quality G-Code programs for turning that are highly optimized to minimize cycle times and tool wear while maximizing part quality. These three points play a key role in a CNC manufacturing company's ability to maximize profits. Starting with a complete definition of the cutting tools and comprehensive / flexible machining cycles, tool path is quickly built from any 2D or 3D geometry, solid or surface model to accommodate any cutting requirements. Built-in simulation and post processing round out a complete tool kit for programming any part on a CNC lathe.

• 2-axis turning
• C- and Y-axis mill-turn
• multi-spindle / multi-turret turning
• Swiss style turn machine support

C, Y and B axis Mill-Turn...
Combining turning and milling operations into one G-Code program.

You can combine turning and milling machining operations in one G-code program with ESPRIT. Support of both C, Y and B axis mill-turn is easy. Choose from milling contour - profile cutting, pocketing, or a variety of drilling machining cycles. Perform 2 1/2-axis milling operations on your lathe using its ZXC or ZXY axes. ESPRIT also provides the tools to perform wrap operations, or machine directly from the 3D feature on a solid. The X-axis movement is converted into a rotary C-axis movement, effectively wrapping your shapes (pockets, holes, and contours) around the rotary axis. This makes ESPRIT an excellent tool for slotting and cross drilling. All of the powerful milling cycles are available to use while programming a lathe. For CNC turning, there is no equal to ESPRIT producing optimized NC-code for the CNC machine tools for mill-turn CNC equipment.

• C 3-axis and Y 4-axis mill-turn with power tooling
• B axis complex milling support
• All milling cycles available on a lathe
• True verification - solid part rotates in spindle with proper material removal 

Tooling...
ANSI / ISO standard coding for CNC turning tools, inserts and holders.

ESPRIT CAM has a tooling system that supports it all. From standard boring bars to complex custom form tools, the user can create any tool needed. The tooling library uses ANSI/ISO standard coding for regular turning tools, both inserts and holders, to simplify the process of defining your tooling. During the creation of the machining cycle and simulation process the definition of the complete tool (insert, holder, and turret) is used to insure your confidence and a highly accurate result. Your custom tools can be drawn in any CAD system, or in ESPRIT, and imported into the tooling library. While using the ESPRIT SolidTurn Advanced, mill-turn option, the complete library of milling cutting tools is also available.

• Library of standard inserts - ANSI and ISO standard inserts for grooving, threading (top notch and lay down), and turning including square, round, trigon, and diamond
• Library of standard holders - ANSI and ISO standard holders with 25 turning and boring styles
• Unlimited custom tools and holders with any geometry C 3-axis and Y 4-axis mill-turn with power tooling
