About Productivity+™ GibbsCAM® plug-in

GenerationUse of the Productivity+™ GibbsCAM® plug-in means that within a single application it is now possible for a complete machining process to be programmed, probed and simulated prior to machining.

Productivity+™ allows you to add a probe which behaves just like any other tool in the GibbsCAM® tooling suite, but which performs measurement instead of cutting. The probe is supported throughout programming and simulation, and the final G-Code output contains a single file incorporating both cutting and measurement.

As a GibbsCAM® user, the Productivity+™ GibbsCAM® plug-in is the obvious choice for swift, simple addition of probing cycles to your metal cutting operations.

Features and benefits

  • Screen simulationSimple but powerful PC software for generating probe inspection routines alongside metal cutting operations
  • Probing routines generated from feature geometry, with or without a solid model
  • Full integration of tool setting, probe qualification and job set-up
  • Probing routine tiles created in the same way as metal cutting operations
  • Graphical user interface and icon driven operation provide an intuitive programming format
  • Logic builder adds intelligence to your process, allowing the machine tool to make decisions based on data collected and results returned
  • Probe path simulation incorporated into the Cut Path Render functionality
  • On-line help, instructional dialogs and wizards
  • Extensive database of Renishaw probes

System requirements

  • GibbsCAM® version 2009 or later (users of 64-bit GibbsCAM® must install the 64-bit version of the plug-in application)
  • GibbsCAM post processor upgrade (available from Renishaw)
  • For additional system requirements please see PC specification
