To make Probe even easier and more flexible, SOLIDWORKS CAM added common feature types such as Single Point, Pocket, Boss, 3-Point Boss, and 3-Point Hole. Also, you don’t have to worry about varying operator skill levels when changing from first shift to second shift the machine automatically locates that same zero point every time. By leveraging Probe’s features, you can automatically find zero every time you run the program.Īdding Probe functionality means that as you change out parts to move to the next one, you can automatically run that routine-a repeatable process. Initially, you need to determine your zero or program origin. Let’s say you need to machine ten parts from a rectangular block of rough stock. The new Probe functionality helps you speed up the setup and manufacturing process. Lots of machines today-from Tormach to Matsuura-have probing capabilities to make machining faster, easier, and more repeatable.

Probing plays a big part in productivity.

Let’s take a quick look at some of the key features in this release. SOLIDWORKS CAM 2020 is a complete 2.5 axis CAM solution.
