Looking for a Cam package for all of our Turn Mill machines. We have everything from Single Turret twin spindle machines to 3 turret twin spindle. We also have a few swiss machines. We have it narrowed down to these 3 options.
Anyone out there that has experience with at least 2 of these 3 softwares, I would love to hear about strengths and weaknesses.
One drawback we have found so far on Featurecam is the lack of support for fixed angle live heads. Esprit seems very powerful but it seems like it maybhave the steepest learning curve. I love Gibbs but only have experience with single turret lathes in Gibbs.
With so many different machines, the post processors will be a huge factor. We like the way Esprit is appoaching this problem by having 1 post for each machine that is developed in partnership with the machine tool manufacturer.
Thanks.
