Mastercam X5 Multiaxis Router

Mastercam X5 Multiaxis Router CNC manufacturing software can dramatically increase your shop’s competitiveness

With Mastercam X5 Multiaxis Router CNC manufacturing software, you have complete control over the three crucial elements of multiaxis machining: toolpath types, tool motion, and tool axis. And you get that control in a clear, easy to understand way.

Multiaxis Toolpath Types in Mastercam X5 Multiaxis Router CNC manufacturing software:

• Multisurface 5-axis roughing and finishing, including depth cuts, plunge roughing, and flowline machining.
• Machine 5-axis parts using spiral, zigzag, or one way tool motion.
• Swarf fanning and swarf machining over multisurface floors keeps the tool edge against the drive surface for a smooth finish.
• Rail swarf cutting gives you added control by driving the tool along a lower rail.
• Machine 5-axis curves with independent definitions of tool side angle and lead/lag angle.
• Create 5-axis contour toolpaths around surface edges for applications such as trimming vacuum-formed parts.
• 5-axis circle milling.
• Machine toward a single point for smooth tip cutting around an entire part.
• Easy 4-axis rotary axis and rolldie programming, and 5-axis drilling.
• Wrap a toolpath around a diameter with rotary axis substitution.
• Create full 5-axis motion from a 3-axis projected toolpath.
• Special options for machining cylinder heads and converting probe data to machinable geometry.

Tool Motion Control in Mastercam X5 Multiaxis Router CNC manufacturing software:

• Automatic point generator adds greater precision in difficult areas.
• Complete control over the tool axis, lead/lag, entry/exit, and tilt simplifies even the most difficult multiaxis jobs.
• Full entry and exit control lets you determine exactly where and how the cutter enters and leaves your part.
• 3D tool compensation in machine controls and full tapered tool support.
• Advanced gouge checking and a 5-axis safe zone around the part.

Tool Axis Control in Mastercam X5 Multiaxis Router CNC manufacturing software:

• Minimum tilt control helps prevent tool motion that would cause tool holder collisions.
• Shank containment simplifies cutting in confined areas.
• Powerful axis limits control tool motion between defined angles, ensuring the tool tilt will not violate part or machine tool limits.
• Easily refine control of your tool axis with a few simple pieces of CAD geometry.
