MTB is in the process of completing a newly developed Cam Grinding software package installed within a new 7 axis Fanuc 30i CNC on a Reform Mill/Grind machine for National Machine in Ohio. The machine is under power and still being tested onsite. Cam & Crank milling and grinding are the latest additions to MTB’s diversified portfolio of gear processing technologies. MTB’s Cam Milling and Grinding Highlights:

• Accepts many cam definitions e.g. Polar or Cartesian coordinates, Base Radius with Deviations, CAD Drawing.

• Algorithm simplicity

• Spiral Infeed, Dwell, Spiral retraction

• Intuitive interface and friendly process defaults

• Capable of adding on-board inspection
