RopeCAM

Software for a round, buttress thread and trapezoid thread NC turning

 

ROPECAM produces NC-code for any outer or inner diameter rope thread. Programming taper for the rope thread, the ROPECAM allows declivity for the rope thread profile.

You don’t need expensive special tools, with RopeCAM you can use standard turning tools. RopeCAM apply also for a cable barrels thread NC-programming. Example: Rd DIN 405-1 thread can be machined standard turning tool.

The RopeCAM  enables oscillating chip breaking (OCB). With materials whose chip does not break, a long, unbroken chip ”serpentine” is produced during threading, this easily breaks the tool insert and removing the chip is problematic, especially in internal threading. The RopeCAM solves this problem with oscillating chip cutting.

 

New in the 2025 version: Linear Broaching with or without oscillating chip breaking.

New in the 2025 version: Any thread turning with standard thread insert with or without oscillating chip breaking.
