Sescoi micro-machining at Micronora, France

Visitors to Micronora, the international micro-technology show running from 23rd to 26th September in Besançon, France, will have the opportunity to see WorkNC, Sescoi’s automatic CAM/CAD system, in action.

Sescoi and partners, Makino and Hitachi tools, will be running live machining demonstrations on the Makino stand (A1 3 / 311-313 and 4/408-410). Visitors can watch the micro-machining in 54HRC, 45NiCrMo16 material of a watch casing part, modeled and programmed in WorkNC. WorkNC engineers will explain how trochoidal roughing, precise rest material detection and WorkNC’s enhanced finishing and 3D engraving routines combine to produce this high quality part while greatly extending tool life.

In addition to the milling activity on the Makino stand, Sescoi will be demonstrating WorkXPlore 3D on its own stand (B2 4/415b). This high speed collaborative viewer, which gained the Productivity Excellence Award at the Industrie 2008 show, is used by leading French moldmakers such as Georges Pernoud, where data handling and quoting times have been cut by up to half.

WorkXPlore 3D can quickly import large models from a wide variety of CAD systems. Engineers can interrogate, analyze and mark-up model data and share this in an easy, lightweight format, inside and outside the company. WorkXPlore 3D provides a cost effective way of handling design information from various sources without the expense and complexity of running multiple CAD systems. It also helps engineers to optimize design and manufacture, shortening delivery times and bringing products to market sooner through concurrent working.
