ESPRIT Multi-Task CAD CAM

ESPRIT SolidMillTurn is a comprehensive CAM system specifically designed for programming parts for multi-function lathes and mill-turn machines.   ESPRIT CAD CAM software features an extensive suite of machining cycles for 2-5 axis milling, including full simultaneous 3-axis and 5-axis 3D multi-surface/solid machining for use on a lathe. SolidMillTurn provides the freedom to use milling and turning cutting cycles in any combination and provides control over the Z, X, C, Y, or B axis common to these machine tools. Custom machine verification and multiple turret/spindle support are also a trademark of ESPRIT. A long-running history of success programming these machines is well-known, when no other CAM software could. Download a PDF version of the ESPRIT CNC software brochure.
B-axis CAD CAM Software Programming... Easily program multi-axis tool movements. Get the power and flexibility to perform 5-axis simultaneous multi-surface/solid milling and 5-axis index milling on your mill-turn machine tool (as pictured in the graphic above). The ESPRIT full 5-axis control lets you easily program parts demanding compound angles or non-perpendicular multi-axis tool movements, such as those required for tool holders, oil drilling tools, complex valves, and gear products. The 5-axis control is available for advanced and FreeForm machining cycles including Facing, Contouring, Pocketing, Hole Making, 3D Finishing and more. Post code to many control types, including Fanuc, Mitsubishi Meldas, Siemens, etc. Full support and post processor availability for programming a wide-range of CNC machine tools, including the following:
	Mori Seiki family, including Mori Seiki MT-series. Hitachi Seiki family, including Hitachi hi-cell/Super hi-cell Mazak family, including Mazak Integrex Emco Maier family Index Miyano Okuma including Okuma MacTurn and Okuma LT-series Traub Hardinge Hanwha
C & Y-axis Machining... Five levels of functionality .... ESPRIT SolidMillTurn CAD CAM software is offered in five levels of functionality which provides flexibility for the widest variety of parts and machine tools. C-axis rotary milling offers Wrap Pocketing, Contouring and Drilling for use on the Face or OD of your parts.  For off-center, Y-axis milling, ESPRIT features an extensive set of milling cycles including Facing, Pocketing, Contouring, Rest Machining, Hole Making and more.  All of these machining cycles are available for use with C, Y and B axis for working on a part at compound angles, or on the Face, ID or OD.
	Five levels of functionality include milling on a lathe for Traditional C axis, Advanced Y axis, Production B axis, FreeForm 3D milling and FreeForm 5-axis milling
Synchronized Milling and Turning ... Integrated programming environment for milling and turning together. Program and simulate your mill-turn programs in one interface with ESPRIT CAD CAM Software. No more cutting and pasting code together or adding sync codes manually! Use ESPRIT SolidMillTurn in conjunction with ESPRIT SolidTurn to program/simulate any combination of mill-turn (2-5 axis) and turning cutting cycles, using one or more spindles with multiple turrets (up to 22-axis), in one session complete with synchronization, optimization and solid simulation.  ESPRIT is the one CAD CAM system that provides a completely integrated programming environment for milling and turning together, at one time, on one machine tool. (machined on a Mori Seiki MT-series)
	ESPRIT CAD CAM is a comprehensive solution for programming any combination of 2-5 axis milling and turning cutting cycles, including full programming support for 4th and 5th axis (C and B axis).
3D Machining on a Lathe  Generate 3D and 5D toolpath for swiss or multi-task machines! The depth of ESPRIT tool path creation allows all of the milling functions to be used for any lathe machine. Full 3D or even 5-axis CNC machining can be output and posted properly for a multi-function lathe. In addition, you can easily synchronize and optimize machining cycles through a combined display of cutting operations and cycle times (Sync List).  ESPRIT then dry-runs simulations of the resulting machining processes in dynamic 3D solid images that show the whole part on screen, including each spindle and turret, and the cutting tools.  These simulations can even be viewed from any angle dynamically. ESPRIT also includes a comprehensive feeds, speeds and material database and an ANSI/ISO coded tooling library, providing users with optimum feedrate and tools for machining parts.

Simulation and Verification... Assures your NC programs are of the highest quality. The Solid Simulation and Verification tool allows you to quickly and easily dry run your programs on the computer to verify accuracy, and assures your CNC programs are of the highest quality, all before ever cutting a chip.  The entire machining environment including the machine housing, spindle(s), turret(s), B-axis heads, and all your tooling can be clearly represented in dynamic 3D solid images.  Meanwhile, all machine movement, including sliding head stock, are accurately represented to promote complete confidence in the quality of your G-code program. No longer will you need to program a part, manually edit G-codes, manually insert syncs, then dry-run the program to ensure a proper program (repeat until correctly posted), before actually running your first part. With ESPRIT, G-code will be complete, correct, and optimized the first time around instilling confidence in programming.
