GibbsCAM Postprocessors for Mori Seiki's new NZ Series

By DE Editors

Gibbs and Associates (Moorpark, CA), a Cimatron Ltd. company, released GibbsCAM postprocessors for Mori Seiki's NZ series of machine tools.

GibbsCAM's posted output supports the advanced capabilities of these multitasking machine tools, because of a collaborative effort with Mori Seiki (Rolling Meadows, IL). As competitive pressures grow, so does the market demand for high-efficiency mass production machine tools like the Mori Seiki NZ line, which can reduce machining time.

The Mori Seiki NZ series of machine tools, suited for mass-production machining, can be configured with up to three turrets, all using Mori Seiki's BMT (Built-in Motor Turret) technology. By placing the motor inside the turret, heat generation and vibration are kept to a minimum and transmission efficiency is improved.

The new NZ Series of multi-axes machines offers not only turning, but also excellent milling with the Y-axis. With the longest Y-axis stroke in its class, it achieves high-precision, high-efficiency machining. In addition to developing postprocessors for the Mori Seiki NZ series line, GibbsCAM postprocessors are also available for Mori Seiki's NMV series of 5-Axis machine tools.

For more information about the line of machine tools, contact Mori Seiki, or Gibbs and Associates.

In January 2008, Gibbs and Associates merged with Cimatron Ltd., and is now operating as a wholly owned subsidiary.
