Multi-Task Machining |
GibbsCAM MTM™ (Multi-Task Machining) was specifically designed to address the CNC programming requirements
of multi-task machine tools, providing powerful programming tools that are easy to learn and use with the
ultimate in flexibility and configurability. Machining processes are easily defined with GibbsCAM's intuitive
graphical user interface that provides seamless access to both turning and milling capabilities. And GibbsCAM's
associativity allows operations to be updated easily when modifications are made. Factory-supplied post processors
output multi-flow NC code complete with utility operations and sync codes.

Machine-Specific Setup |
|
Multi-task machine tools represent some of the most diverse machine tool
configurations available today. With GibbsCAM MTM, your machine tool’s specific
configuration is captured by GibbsCAM’s factory-supplied settings so that you are
accurately programming all its capabilities. This way you can be sure that you are taking
full advantage of your machine tool for maximum productivity.

Multiple Turrets/Spindles |
|
Today’s multi-task machine tools incorporate a wide variety of
spindle and turret combinations with no end in sight. A two spindle,
two turret configuration is fairly common with machines with more than
two spindles or turrets becoming more and more common. GibbsCAM MTM supports an
unlimited number of turrets and spindles allowing you to keep pace with advances
in multi-task machines.

Live Tooling Support |
|
Multi-task machine tools used to be mainly high-end turning
centers with two spindles and tool holders, sometimes including a
light-use live tooling capability. Though these are still common,
multi-task machine tools now incorporate more substantial live tooling
support which allows more extensive milling operations to be performed.
GibbsCAM MTM can be combined with any of the GibbsCAM milling options to
support your multi-task machine tool’s complete range of milling operations.

Swiss-Style Machine Tools |
|
Swiss-style machine tools are becoming extremely popular especially
for ultra-high precision parts. Like other types of multitask machine
tools, Swiss-style machine tools have also gone through a radical evolution
and represent some of the most complex MTM configurations available. GibbsCAM MTM
supports Swiss-style multi-task machine tools and provides an easy-to-use tool for
programming these complex devices.
Supporting your Swiss-style machine tools is straight forward with
GibbsCAM MTM.

Utility Ops Support |
|
Bar Feeders. Parts Catchers. Sub-Spindles. These are just a few of the ancillary
devices on a multi-task machine tool that require non-cutting utility operations to control.
GibbsCAM MTM supports the entire range of utility operations used by your machine tool providing
you with full control all the way to posted output.

Sync Manager |
|
Unlike single cutting tool machine tools, multi-task machine tools apply multiple tools across
one or more spindles at the same time often in a synchronized fashion. Manually
coordinating multiple process flows requires understanding many details and
interdependencies. GibbsCAM MTM’s Sync Manager provides an easy to understand,
intuitive graphical interface allowing you to focus on optimizing your process.
The Sync Manager handles all the underlying complexities for you.
Programming multiple processes has never been easier or more efficient.

Integrated Cut Part Rendering |
|
With the complexity of multi-flow multi-task processes it is
extremely important to verify programs before they can become
expensive mistakes on your machine tools. GibbsCAM MTM’s integrated
Cut Part Rendering allows you to visually verify your programs fully
simulating multiple tools cutting at the same time. Not only can gouges
be detected, but you can also observe how efficient your program is allowing
you to make adjustments further optimizing your program. See it before you machine it.

Factory Supplied Posts |
|
With all the configurability and complexity of multi-task machine tools
creating a correct and complete post processor can be quite a challenge.
GibbsCAM MTM’s factory supplied posts ensure you get posted output specifically
formatted for your machine tool that fully supports its capabilities.
With factory supplied posts, you don’t spend your time figuring out how to post output
for your machine tool. Get “what-you-see-is-what-you-machine” output with GibbsCAM MTM posts.
