CAM Software for the Watches and Jewelry Industry

CAM systems have become indispensable to the watch and jewelry industry. They are used to manufacture microparts (within the scope of micromechanics) as well as intricate pieces of jewelry. They allow manufacturing companies to benefit from many advantages, such as high levels of flexibility and process reliability.

For manufacturing companies, producing delicate precision pieces for premium watches or jewelry is not an easy task. This calls for many microscopically small milling parts produced in large series at a consistently high level of quality. That is why NC programmers from the watch and jewelry industry place specific requirements on their CAM systems: They need maximum precision, excellent surface quality, and the best possible process reliability.

Precise and reliable like a premium clock

When it comes to clockwork components made from platinum, steel, brass, titanium, or other premium materials, hyperMILL^® makes it possible for NC programmers to produce precision parts in an efficient, accurate, and reliable way. Highly developed 5-axis machining strategies make it possible to manufacture complex free-form surfaces as well as time-consuming engravings in just a single process. The result: impressive milling results with outstanding surfaces that significantly reduce the effort required for time-consuming additional finishing processes.

Time is a scarce commodity

For watchmakers, time is, naturally, a particularly important factor. Optimized processes are the best means of saving time. hyperMILL^® offers many solutions to develop efficient processes. Feature and macro technology as well as custom automation make it possible to save precious programming time. Powerful simulation solutions can minimize set-up times. Moreover, reducing the amount of follow-up work also always means shorter machining times and therefore reduced costs.
