| Product Overview

Fikus Lathe for CimatronE provides a solution for lathe NC programming, producing complex toolpaths quickly and efficiently. CNC program preparation and execution time are optimized through intelligent analysis of part geometry, and advanced automation. Lathe guides the user through all the steps of the NC program preparation, minimizing time and avoiding errors. The user environment is Windows native, logical and intuitive, easy to learn and use, reducing the preparation time of the most complex lathe machining projects.

| Product Highlights
  • Lathe machining wizard analyzes part geometry and automatically detects features.
  • Precise, automatic and error-free machining strategies are achieved through an optimal combination of advanced automation and user control:
    • In automatic mode, machining strategy and procedures are defined, applied and calculated without the need for user control.
    • Alternatively, machining strategy is defined by the user – and can be saved as a template – helping the user in machining of specific types of parts in the future.
| Key Benefits
  • Control of the remaining material to avoid air cutting movements.
  • Process report for the workshop or cost calculation.
| Features
  • Knowledge-based machining (KBM) for automatic and fast programming.
  • Powerful tool editor and library.
  • Realistic simulation of final part geometry, including stock and tool movements.
  • The lathe machining wizard automatically recognizes the geometry and detects its features.
  • The user can save the machining strategy for a part as a template.
