V2 PM SoftCam CNC

Thanks to the revolutionary and innovative development of the Came Virtuelle, the V2-PM SoftCam is the only CNC machine on the market that can reach the same cycle times as a cam machine.

This machine is the evolution of the V2 SoftCam equipped with an axially movable counter-collet. This is necessary when the material is tough, and chips are difficult to remove. It also enables the turning of rivets and similar parts which cannot be ejected through the counter-collet.

The collet feed and clamping are controlled by a virtual secondary cam.

The V2-PM SoftCam CNC is no longer dependent on the interpretation of a language, line by line, but executes several virtual cams simultaneously. All the movements carried out by the movable counter-collet can be executed simultaneously with the turning and sectioning movements. This revolutionary approach enables the machine to attain far faster run cycles than with comparable CNC machines.

The SoftCam control enables very quick and easy programming thanks to optimized pictograms and diagrams. Each operation can then be corrected individually, very easily, by the operator. SoftCam can be learned by operators within a few hours.

Compared to a cam-controlled machine, the SoftCam CNC control allows for flexibility and productivity optimization without loss of time.

Types of uses

• Simple and complex parts
• Coil stock
• Material diameter from 0.3 to 5 mm (maximum in mild steel)
• Two-tool turning operations
• Possible operation in follower mode (movable counter-collet follows the material)
• Can be worked without forming tools
• Non-stop 24-h production
• Easy and fast start-up thanks to SoftCam
• Easy production process adaptation
• Very efficient when the material is stiff, and chips are difficult to remove.
• Enables the turning of rivets and similar parts which cannot be ejected through the counter-collet.
