Mastercam Probing
Mastercam Probing is a fully integrated add-on for Mastercam that helps improve the machining process by being a natural part of the Mastercam programming process. Probing helps improve the overall quality of parts, increase productivity and reduces the set-up time. Easily program your spindle-mounted touch probe directly in Mastercam the same way you program toolpaths.
Mastercam Probing includes a wide range of Probe Cycles to suit most of your measurement needs. These can be customizable through user-defined parameters with assisting drawings that make it simple to see what each parameter controls in the cycle. As a bonus, parameter values can be filled in automatically based on stock model geometry.
Easily select surface points and surface normals on curved geometry through surface probing. For any point selected, a measuring cycle is created, and the result of the measurement is compared with the 3D Model.
Seamlessly works inside Mastercam and has its own dedicated tab in the Ribbon bar. Probing options are presented in the Manager Panel and once a cycle is added, it is stored in Mastercam’s Toolpath Manager for easy access and adjustability.
All probe tool movements can be fully visualized and verified using Mastercam Backplot, Verify, and Machine Simulation. On top of its convenience, this also helps the user feel confident about their probe tool remaining undamaged during machining as collisions can be detected and resolved before the programming even begins.
Mastercam Probing works with popular CNC probe brands such as Renishaw, Blum-Novotest and Heidenhain.
Mastercam Probing is available in English and German. Support for more languages is on the roadmap.
Program probing cycles directly off the same CAD model used for toolpathing and other Mastercam operations. Full associativity ensures the probepath is updated with geometry changes.
As a fully integrated add-on, Mastercam Probing will be familiar and intuitive to any Mastercam user. Full access to standard right-click menus, Auto-cursor selection tools and mouse wheel scrolling for easy changes.
Includes a wide range of predefined and fully customizable probe cycles for most measurement needs. Point at any cycle parameter and a dynamic diagram shows exactly what the parameter controls.
Use the powerful Cycle Builder in Mastercam Probing to create your own custom cycles or extend existing cycles.
All probe movements can be conveniently visualized and verified using Mastercam’s Backplot, Verify and Machine Simulation. Ensure that your probe tool remains undamaged during machining. Probe tool collisions can be detected and resolved before the program is machined.
Mastercam Probing is actively being developed and new versions, including new functionality, are released at short intervals.
