CNC Machining: An Overview of Available CAM Processors

Abstract

Most machine tools are currently CNC. This allows to significantly increasing the efficiency of the production process but on the other hand, requires corresponding CAM processors that replace manual programming with components using conventional, unconventional and abrasive machining methods, and furhermore advanced CAM processors allow programming is very important because the correct choice of CAM processor leads to improved productivity and increasing the level of automation of the process. Therefore, in this chapter is provided an overview of more than 40 processors of different companies and is evaluated their benefits, including technologie that allow to knowledge libraries, at various companies under different brands.
