HMC Programming

HMC Programming in Coimbatore

CAM programming for horizontal machining centres — multi-face setups, tombstones and pallets planned so the machine keeps cutting.

Programming for Horizontal Machining Centres

A horizontal machining centre earns its keep by machining several faces of a part in one setup, often on tombstones and across pallets, so spindle time is not lost to loading. That only works when the program is planned around the fixture: work offsets per face, tool sharing across parts, and a sequence that suits pallet changes.

We program HMC jobs in Mastercam with that production view, for single parts, tombstone layouts and repeat batches.

  • Multi-face machining in one setup using the B-axis (indexing table).
  • Tombstone and multi-part fixture programming with separate work offsets.
  • Pallet-aware program structure for machines with a pallet changer.
  • Tool lists planned to limit tool changes and keep chip evacuation in mind.

How It Works

How an HMC Job Is Programmed

1. Share Part, Fixture & Machine

Part model, fixture or tombstone details, machine and controller, and the tool list.

2. Plan, Program & Simulate

We plan faces and offsets, build toolpaths and simulate for collisions.

3. Receive Programs & Notes

Machine-ready programs with offset and tool information for the operator.

FAQ

Common Questions

Do you provide HMC programming in Coimbatore?

Yes. We program horizontal machining centres from Coimbatore, using Mastercam and generating code for your controller.

Can you program tombstone and pallet jobs?

Yes. We plan multi-part tombstone programs with separate work offsets and structure programs to suit pallet changes.

What do you need to program an HMC part?

The part model or drawing, material, machine and controller, the fixture or tombstone design, and the available tooling.

Is the code compatible with my HMC controller?

We generate code for your controller. If the existing post processor is not suitable, we can edit or build one.
