SolidCAM supports the use of the back spindle in Turning and Turn-Mill modules. The functionality enables you to use the back spindle of your CNC machine for the following applications:
Turning and Milling machining with the part clamped either in the main or back spindles. The part is automatically transferred between spindles, thus enabling you to complete the part from both sides in a single set up.
The back spindle can be used as the tail stock for the additional support of long parts. Both spindles are used simultaneously.
The back spindle can be used also for pulling out parts from the back spindle, like a bar feeder.
