Welcome.
We're here at Biesse in Daventry today
to look at how SWOOD
connects with real world CNC machines.
We're going to be looking to run
two of the machines,
the rotary flat table
with the new T-jet attachment
and the Rover A pod and rail machine
five axis.
There'll be a separate video
that will go into a deep dive technical
overview of how we set these programs up
within SolidWorks and SWOOD.
SWOOD does have the ability to connect
with a number
or a range of different CNC machines.
And we'll look at how that connects
with Biesse CNC machines.
Today we're going to be running
a five axis SWOOD program,
creating a null post product on a Rover
A five axis pod and rail machine.
SWOOD cam
machines that rover eight port and rail
Within SWOOD cam
we can generate full five axis tool paths
along with pod and rail positions
if required.
So we’re here at Biesse to understand
how SolidWorks can link with CNC machines
utilising SWOOD.
One of the programs we’re
going to be running
today is a SWOOD generated nested program.
We’re going to be running that
on the machine behind me,
which is a Rover

software.
We can send those programs as individual
panels, full nested sheets,
or entire job works list if required.
Once those programs are loaded on
to BSolid, further simulation and changes
can be made if required.
Any CAM software is only as good
as the programs it creates.
we've seen that we can effectively create
three and five axis CNC programs.
To see the process behind the programs
that we've run today and to learn more
best practices about SolidWorks and SWOOD,
please see our other video.
And finally,
thank you to Biesse for allowing us onsite
to have access to their CNC machines.
