This live, online training course with live instructors consists of 6 classes, 3 hours each, over two weeks.
GibbsCAM Intermediate Turning - Live Online
Take your GibbsCAM skills to the next level.
In this course, we explore the full range of capabilities offered by the GibbsCAM turning module. You’ll learn a variety of machining strategies to create more efficient operations, reduce cycle times, and extend tool life. Our instructors bring decades of real-world mill-turn experience and are eager to share their expertise with you.
Our live online format delivers a true classroom-style experience, with full two-way screen sharing between students and instructors. You can ask questions, get instant feedback, and follow along step-by-step—all from anywhere, whether you’re at the shop or learning from home.
Prerequisites
We recommend starting with the GibbsCAM Essentials class before progressing to Intermediate Turning. However, depending on your experience with GibbsCAM, you may already have the foundational knowledge required for success. If you find this course too advanced, consider revisiting the GibbsCAM Essentials class to build the programming skills essential for this course.
Please reach out to us at info@camco-ne.com for help finding the right class for you.
Recommended hardware:
- 2 monitors are recommended. One to run GibbsCAM, the other to display the instructor’s screen.
- Note: the system we use does not have a dial-in option. Speakers and a microphone or headphones with microphone will be required.
- High-speed Internet Connection.
- Windows 10 or 11 (with all available Windows updates).
- Intel: Core i9, or i7 with four or more cores or AMD: Ryzen or Threadripper.
- 16GB RAM
- A quality Nvidia or AMD (ATI) 3D accelerated video card with 2+ GB of video memory with the latest drivers installed.
- Send setup-related questions to: support@camco-ne.com
Software
A 30-day GibbsCAM timed license will be provided.
Topics Covered Include
- Fundamentals of 4&5-axis milling programming for MTM platforms and integrating multi-axis turning strategies
- How to define and manage Intermediate Tool Blocks, fixtures, and optimize your database
- Using a multi-function tool to perform more than one type of operation (Drilling and Turning)
- Programming elliptical contouring on non-circular surfaces.
- Interpolated turning using tool axis control to maintain normal-to-surface engagement.
- Eccentric turning setups and strategies for off-center features.
- Pinch turn roughing technique where two opposing tools cut the same feature simultaneously.
- Implementing Y-axis turning allowing material to be removed using coordinated X, Y, and spindle motion rather than being constrained to the traditional X-Z plane.
- Sync Control fundamentals for coordinating multi-flow (2-flow and more) machining sequences.
- Using the Move Tool Group utility provides explicit control over tool group positioning, allowing turrets or spindles to be safely parked or relocated while maintaining synchronization and uninterrupted machining flow on MTM machines.
- Sub-spindle operations in, out, shift, return techniques for efficient MTM workflow.
- B-axis turning allows either indexed (positional) or continuously controlled (variable) tool orientation, enabling advanced turning strategies on MTM platforms.
