Top Systems Delivers Punching Functionality in T-FLEX CAM

January 15, 2007 – Top Systems introduced a new module of T-FLEX CAM software for CNC turret punch presses. T-FLEX CAM’s punching module includes an entire set of commands for interactive insertion and positioning of single tool hits or cycles with full support of micro-joint placement and editing, including support for special tools. When a new tool is created with T-FLEX CAM punching module, the definition includes all of the information necessary to provide the greatest control over tool use. The tool-path can be reviewed at any time with tool-path simulation. Tool hits can be stepped through one at a time, by tool sequence, or full simulation. T-FLEX CAM provides automatic tool-path optimization to minimize CNC machine run-time.

“We have a very strong and dedicated user base in Russia. They constantly tell us how much they enjoy using T-FLEX CAM, especially its advanced parametric features based on T-FLEX CAD functionality”, said Anatoliy Kalinin, T-FLEX CAM project director of Top Systems. “T-FLEX CAM is a powerful tool for programming CNC punch presses and other types of machines. Yet many people outside Russia have never known about T-FLEX CAM because until recent time our software was not translated into other languages. I believe the latest steps of our company aimed at expanding its activities on the foreign markets will change this”.
