Can F360 teach an old machine new tricks??
Hello All!
I run a small machine shop in the UK with the help of 2 Hitachi Seiki's.
Both machines are very capable but I have reached my limits on programming with the CA23 lathe.
Its a 4 axis machine with live tools, C axis indexing and even a 12 tool ATC. I can program the live tooling to a point but the work were taking on is now getting more and more complex and although manually programming parts can be
quick and easy, the latest jobs are a huge pain and we need to step up our game.
I am a Solidworks guy and before I pull the trigger on CamWorks at huge expense, I would like to know if F360 would be capable of controlling the machine?
I would have to learn F360 but what im intersted in is, whats the cost ? and will they provide a post processor to run my live tool 4 axis lathe?
I would appreciate any advice or if anyone has been in the same boat.
Many thanks in advance. Cheers chaps.
