Excitement as Sescoi eradicates the complexity associated with 5-axis programming

From its first showing at EuroMold in Frankfurt last December, Sescoi's new WorkNC Auto 5 CAM software module, which automatically converts 3-axis WorkNC toolpaths to 5-axis cutterpaths, has caused a stir within engineering circles worldwide.

WorkNC Auto5 has been demonstrated across Europe, the Indian sub-continent and Asia during exhibitions in France, Germany, Portugal, Spain, UK, Japan and India. North and South America are soon to follow with IMTS in Chicago and Mecanica 2004 in Sao Paulo.

The new software has already picked up awards: CAD/CAM magazine in Germany gave the software its "Innovator of the Year" award, and Auto 5 also won a nomination at the INDAO/Industrie show in France.

Sescoi's WorkNC customers have been quick to adopt the new software, with unprecedented levels of enquiries, and although the worldwide launch programme is only starting, Auto 5 has already been installed in over 60 companies.

The ease of use of Auto 5 has shown engineering companies that 5-axis machining can be an every-day activity with WorkNC, cutting complex and deep parts quickly and easily with shorter and more rigid cutters. These advances will enable companies to make the best use of their investment in sophisticated multi-axis machine tools.
