Process KnowledgeBase

Database of proven processes and best practices. User defines part types and their default machining processes. Using this information, Process KnowledgeBase automatically chooses the most suitable process to machine a given feature, eliminating the need to create operations one by one.

Default KnowledgeBase

Database of groups of defined machining preferences. Machining preferences are defined by setting default values for each machining cycle. Once defined, default settings are automatically loaded for use in similar projects.

Part-Feature KnowledgeBase

Database of features (like pockets, slots, shoulders, holes). Part-Feature KnowledgeBase subdivides a given part into features and automatically categorizes these features into feature cases, based on shop's standards, terminology, and each feature's characteristics. Programming automatically starts with a clear definition of what is to be machined.

Cutdata

A predefined standard containing information about cutting conditions, preferred cutting speeds, and feed rates to use under those conditions. When selected in an ESPRIT document, ESPRIT automatically calculates acceptable cutting speeds and feedrates based on the data.

CT-Expert

Charmilles CT-Expert, database for cutting technology, automatically loads values and cutting conditions recommended by manufacturer into program.

CAM Generator

Creates a chain feature of a cam profile based on values provided by the user. A tool for generating the profile needed to machine a cam of a specified design.

Turn-n-Burn

Turn-and-Burn uses the rotary axis as an indexer, rotating the workpiece into position before cutting begins.

Turn-while-Burn creates a rotary wire EDM contouring operation that rotates the part while the wire is cutting.

Gear Generator

Create a chain feature of an inner or outer gear.

Report Generator

HTML generated reports that detail the tools and operations for any of your part files. The preformatted reports are an important NC post processing tool and invaluable shop floor resource. Reports provide the machining details required to correctly set up a machine and perform the required machining operations.
