Calculating Cycle Times on CNC Lathe - New Post

Discussion in 'SolidWorks' started by Maurice Bishop, Sep 19, 2003.

  1. Greetings

    Is there software that you are aware of to produce a cycle time from a CNC
    program? It appears Pathtrace/Edgecam will not do it. This is a very old
    concept and I clearly remember using software for programming in years gone
    by.

    This is a very fundamental issue and all our shop floor scheduling and
    consequently sub-contracting decisions are made from what is at the moment
    little more than guess work.

    Many thanks
    Maurice

    Check on the aly.machines.cnc group, those guys are quite helpful from a guy
    on the floor perspective, and engineering aspect too.

    Yes, a CNC related group would help. Also check out Vericut. You have
    to set everything up, table speeds, etc, but once it's set up it runs
    rather well.
