ZM Lathe
Specific software for processing stone materials with the lathe
Software intended for CNC machining centres for machining stone materials with a lathe. ZM LATHE has 2D CAD and 3D CAD environments with functions for creating, modifying and transforming 2D and 3D geometric entities.
2D CAD modules
The two-dimensional environment has the following functionalities:
- 2D drawing on working planes
- Construction line mode management
- Management of windows truetype fonts with the possibility of projecting them onto straight lines, curves or irregular areas
- Quotations
- Vector printing (PDF)
3D CAD modules
The three-dimensional environment has the following functionalities:
- Creation of 3D primitives, solid and surface models based on NURBS (Non-Uniform Rational B-Splines) mathematical representations and mesh grids
- Projection and superposition of 3D models on 2D and 3D surfaces
- 3D macro geometries for simplified construction of columns and towers
Machine simulation
Optional integrated graphical simulation environment that provides a virtual representation of the machine tool showing the movement of all axes, linear and rotary, in order to avoid problems on the machine during CNC program execution.
Workpiece simulation
Integrated graphical simulation environment of the results of all types of machining to check for possible collisions on both the blank and the finished model via toolpath and material removal.
Tools
The software supports a variety of tools: cylindrical, spherical, toroidal, conical, engraving cutters, drills/forks, bushings, polishing wheels, free-form, discs and horizontal discs. Each tool can be mounted on an angle gearbox.
Tool archive
Presence of a virtual environment for managing tools on the CNC machining centre via one or more tables that can be configured as required.
