EdgeCAM and Sandvik Coromant customers continue to reap the benefits of the worldwide collaboration agreement between Pathtrace and Sandvik Coromant.
EdgeCAM, offers direct integration with the FREE Sandvik Coroguide electronic tooling catalogue, allowing EdgeCAM users to directly import tooling parameters, thereby reducing programming and tooling set up time.

The Coroguide tooling catalogue of some 25,000 tooling components enables the selection and make up of tool assemblies by searching either by application or product category.

David Boucher, Pathtrace Research and Development Director commented "Our long-standing relationship with Sandvik has enabled EdgeCAM users to stay at the forefront of cutting tool technology. This latest release of EdgeCAM adds the benefits of integration with our partner's tooling catalogue for our users, allowing Sandvik tooling assemblies to be directly loaded into the EdgeCAM ToolStore."

Commenting on the overall progress of the global partnership, he stated "Our collaboration continues to develop and all Sandvik training centres use EdgeCAM to jointly promote the benefits of best practice machining techniques developed for use with the latest Sandvik cutting tools."

Wäinö Kaarto, Global Business Development Manager, Mould & Die Making at Sandvik Coromant commented on the fruitful co-operation between Sandvik Coromant and Pathtrace. "We are extremely pleased to offer all EdgeCAM users our complete tooling and cutting data. We are convinced that this resource will facilitate the choice of modern, high production tools.

Wiper Inserts
Twice the feedrate or twice as good a surface finish? Make your choice!
Now the well known versatility of Sandvik Coromant Wiper inserts is even broader, thanks to EdgeCAM 9.5 from Pathtrace. Sandvik Coromant is leading the development of these types of high productivity inserts. By working closely with Sandvik, Pathtrace is first to provide support for hi-tech Wiper inserts for finish turning. EdgeCAM 9.5 ensures workpiece profile accuracy in any feed direction.

According to Chris Mills, Application Development Manager, of Sandvik Coromant: “Sandvik Coromant’s aim is to provide innovative solutions which reduce customers’ total production costs. To fulfil this goal it is essential that we combine optimized products with first class application capabilities. In this instance, to completely harness the cost reducing features of Wiper technology, it was necessary to develop tailored software. We are delighted with the co-operation with Pathtrace that now allows easy application of the complex Wiper form for turning operations.”

David Boucher, Product Development Director of Pathtrace commented: “This project will further extend the benefits of our collaboration with Sandvik Coromant and will ensure our turning solutions continue to lead the field. Experience has shown us that tooling manufacturers and CAM software developers need to work closely together to ensure customers are able to enjoy the benefits of deploying new tooling technologies with optimized machining strategies.”

Pathtrace believes that the key to successful manufacturing lies in the effective use of innovative technology and is committed to providing customers with state-of-the-art manufacturing solutions. EdgeCAM’s support for Sandvik Coromant Wiper inserts offers substantial productivity improvements and is a major benefit for many industries.
