R&B ElectrodeWorks 2020 SP0.1 for SolidWorks (x64)

Seamless integration within SOLIDWORKS assures the complete parametric associativity of the data.

Features:
Automatic electrode sizing and positioning according to face selection.
Advanced clearance functionality.
Modification through specific electrode feature tree.
Geometric Spark and Pattern gap.
Copy electrode by feature recognition
EDM technology definition and output.
Burn area calculation.
Instant setup & burn sheet drawings.
Choose the holder and electrode blank shape from the standard, user extendable parametric shape library through the Add Electrode environment and select the burn faces. The electrode is automatically placed and sized according to customized factory setup parameters. Parameter and Position dialogues allow you to fine tune the electrode positioning and orientation. On validation the electrode is then cut, showing clearly the burn faces.
Add Clearance enables you to create tangent, normal and draft offsets at the electrode/part interface through integrated solid trim functionality, powered by our ease of use dialogue system.

Modification of the position and definition of the Electrode and clearance is accessed through the dedicated ElectrodeWorks property manager tree.

Spark & Pattern gap can be created on the geometry to create an exact replica of the electrode.

Copy the electrode automatically to the same features on the part in preview and allow the user to select or de-select the electrode positions.

Drawings are instantaneous and complete including sheets for electrode manufacturing and EDM burn process.

Technology is defined through a dedicated dialogue which defines material and allows you to scroll through the built in surface finish standards according to E, Rmax and Ra.

Process setup of the rough to finish spark gaps and the pattern method and definition are defined through the same dialogue, as well as safety z-level penetration for each of the different spark gaps. The exact burn area is also calculated.

Manufacturing information including the zero point for machine positioning and orientation as well as the previously defined technology is managed and stored within the electrode as an EXCEL report.
