The shape of the CoroTurn® Prime tool inserts, combined with toolpaths that turn in the opposite direction than a conventional turning process, makes it possible to achieve a much smaller entry angle and better chip control. PrimeTurning™ offers the flexibility for turning operations in all directions. HCL CAMWorks 2021Plus is one of the first integrated CAM systems to support Sandvik Coromant’s PrimeTurning™, which uses CoroTurn® Prime Type-A and Type-B tools in conjunction with unique toolpaths to achieve increased feeds and speeds, shorter cycle times and longer tool life. HCL Technologies (HCL), a leading global technology company, today announced the release of HCL CAMWorks 2021Plus, with support for Sandvik Coromant PrimeTurning™. Capture and reuse your shop’s best practices with the CAMWorks TechDB.

Achieve superior tolerance and surface finish requirements with Tolerance-Based Machining.

Avoid collisions and broken tools with True G-code machine simulation.

Cut setup times and eliminate dry runs on the machine with CAMWorks Virtual Machine to prove-out CNC programs.

Reduce cycle times and increase tool life with CAMWorks VoluMill and PrimeTurning™ by Sandvik Coromant.

Eliminate wasted time and material with toolpaths that update instantly to any design changes.

Reduce repetitive programming tasks with Feature-Based Programming and Feature Recognition.

Additional functionality - 5 axis simultaneous milling, mill turn, wire EDM, nesting, simulation, shop floor solutions and more - is available in subsequent levels of SOLIDWORKS CAM and CAMWorks. Entry level includes 2.5 and 3 axis milling capabilities. SOLIDWORKS CAM is included in every seat of SOLIDWORKS verison 2018 or later on subscription. Program Smarter, Machine Faster with CAMWorks® and SOLIDWORKS® CAMĬAMWorks and SOLIDWORKS CAM provide an truly integrated, feature-based CADCAM solution for machine shops of all sizes.
