Additional FeaturesĮsprit features seven grooving cycles with a variety of optional tool movements, including single plunge, multiple plunge, peck grooving, zigzag grooving and contouring with grooving tools. For drilling and hole making, the operator can choose between the software’s pre-programmed machining cycles and the machine tool’s canned cycles, or use a combination of both. The roughing cycle enables work from pre-roughed or irregular-shaped castings or barstock and has options for controlling every aspect of machine movement, from clearances to differing Z and X stock allowances. It offers contour profile cutting for facing and OD or ID turning-a universal machining cycle driving single-point tools for a variety of machining tasks. The software’s suite of machining cycles includes all part handling cycles, from initial bar feeds and stock chucking through steady rests and part cutoff and pickup.īecause of its range of capabilities, Esprit helps to streamline and standardize lathe machining. The software allows simultaneous work on the front and back of the workpiece with one, two or more cutting tools, helping to reduce cycle times and complete parts in a single setup. Program synchronization, dynamic simulation and collision detection help the shop to maintain full control over production turning operations. The software provides factory-certified programming solutions for machines from builders such as Citizen, Star and Tsugami. It accommodates the special demands of Swiss machines, allowing the creation of programs that take full advantage of Swiss-type capabilities with toolpath creation, simulation, collision detection and accurate G-code generation.

6 Tips for Training on a Swiss-Type LatheĮsprit is designed to help operators realize their full potential for single setup, versatile, accurate, unattended machining when programming multi-axis Swiss-type turning centers.
