Complex Mill-Turn
Simultaneous Advanced Mill-Turn
SolidCAM fully supports every function of multi-axis Mill-Turn machines, which are in growing demand across industry for their fast material removal and versatility: sub-spindle, lower turret, part transfer and more.
Simultaneous 4/5-axis Mill-Turn machines have the capabilities to handle work that other machines cannot. They can come with many options, such as multiple motion axes, upper and lower turrets, C, Y and B axes and a sub-spindle.
SolidCAM has a flexible, configurable and easy-to-use interface, and the advanced technology to support all of these multi-function CNC machines.

SolidCAM does more than just run these complex machines: it calculates the remaining stock between turning and milling operations to create optimal toolpaths. Shorter machining times significantly increase the productivity of these machines. Tailstocks, steady rests, sub-spindles, rotary and linear turrets, and C-axis, CY-axis and B-axis motions are becoming standard features on today’s Mill-Turn machines. SolidCAM removes the risk of collisions on all of these complex machines, so you can do your CAM work simply and safely.
For machines with multiple turrets and spindles, full synchronization and complete machine simulation come in one powerful package. When programming Mill-Turn machines you can use all of SolidCAM’s milling and turning operations, along with the unique iMachining technology.
MCO
MCO (Machine Control Operations)
MCO (machine control operations) lets you add a wide range of machine actions while a part is being produced. For example, opening and closing fixtures, switching coolant on and off, and part flipping or transfer can all be set up with MCO.
Part Transfer Between Spindles
Control part transfers between the main spindle and the sub-spindle with MCO – Machine Control Operations. MCO makes all of these actions easy to define.
Mill-Turn Machine Simulation
Mill-Turn Machine Simulation
SolidCAM Mill-Turn machine simulation is a full kinematic simulation that covers all turning and milling operations as well as the machine’s components and devices. SolidCAM Machine Simulation is a complete solution that also checks for collisions with the workpiece, fixtures, holders and other machine accessories.

The Machine Manager defines the functions and kinematics of any kind of machine, so users can easily add and run even their most complex machines.
iMachining on Mill-Turn Machines
iMachining on Mill-Turn Machines
On Mill-Turn parts, too, you can use iMachining 2D & 3D toolpaths and save a great deal of time in programming and machining. iMachining also gives you much lower cutting forces and vibration-free cutting.
