Established in 1982, Jinfo SA celebrates 30 years with customers

April 2012

In this anniversary year, Jinfo SA wishes to associate its customers by presenting some of the products made with its CAD/CAM and PLM solutions. Today, Jinfo completes its offer with Mastercam, FAO’s most used in the world, and presents new versions of Creo, GOelan and Mastercam Swiss Expert.

The Jinfo SA and CNC Software Europe SA team in Porrentruy.

Pioneer in French speaking Switzerland in the development and services in CAD/CAM, Jinfo SA will celebrate its 30 years on November 14, at the autumn day of users. To celebrate the event, loyal customers have agreed to present examples of use and collaboration. Interested readers can discover these full statements on the www.jinfo.ch website.

Jinfo expands its product range with Mastercam For 2 years, Jinfo has been working closely with CNC Software Europe SA for the development of Mastercam Swiss Expert, a CAM system designed for high precision turning. In proposing today Mastercam for other types of NC machines, Jinfo markets all the Mastercam applications.

This CAM system allows 2 to 5 axes milling, turning, ripping for machining of wood, wire EDM and 2D/3D surface and volume design. In addition, the software suite includes the following applications:

Robotmaster, a software that allows to program a robot like a numerically controlled machine tool
Verisurf Reverse, a set of functions to pass from a points file to a CAD model
Art, creation and manufacture of artistic models.

Mastercam Swiss Expert version 2012 The 2012 version brings many new features requested by high precision turners, while improving the user interface. In addition, it contains environments of new turning machines, including the EvoDeco series from Tornos and all NC machine tools with B-axis, such as Citizen M32 type VIII and Tsugami HS207. These environments include: 3D modeling of the machine, kinematics of the axes, tools and tools position management, specific synchronizations, post-processor for ISO, TB-Deco or other. Therefore the high precision turner works with the computer as if he were in front of his machine to optimize the programming.

ESPRIT CAM improves productivity for long part machining by automating multi-spindle program creation

April 2021

New computer-aided-manufacturing (CAM) technology has been introduced by ESPRIT CAM, part of Hexagon’s Manufacturing Intelligence division that provides manufacturers with the control and flexibility needed to use multi-spindle and multi-channel computer-numerical-control (CNC) machinery for the machining of long parts. More accurate simulation of spindle transfers and bar pulls enables manufacturers to exploit multi-tasking machinery with high productivity program creation of error-free (...)

Improving Part Deformation and Cycle Time with Virtual Molding

June 2019

The reduction of cycle time is an essential condition in every injection molding operation. At the same time, it is important to deliver the required part quality in terms of dimensional stability. SIGMASOFT Virtual Molding with its Autonomous Optimization technology allows comparing multiple scenarios in terms of cooling placement and mold material, to achieve both conditions at the minimum cost per part. The reduction of cycle time is crucial in every injection molding operation. At the (...)

Vero Waveform Saves Tool Costs of Over £100 Per Part

February 2017

Trials carried out with Seco Tools show that Vero Software’s powerful, game-changing Waveform Roughing Strategy can save nearly £130,000 on cutting tool costs for 1,000 parts, compared with conventional machining strategies. The results came from trials using a Seco 20mm tool, cutting components from EN24 steel. Vero’s Strategic Partnership Manager, Wesley Tonks, says: “Tool life is dependent on how the tool is implemented within the machining process. We always state the increase in material (...)

Tombstone Module: One Of 50 Edgecam Updates

November 2016

The new 2017 release of Edgecam introduces a Tombstone module for assembling pre-existing parts on a defined mounting device. A simple dialog window enables users to add pre-machined part files, specifying the positions they are to be mounted on a tombstone or other multi-component work-holding device. Once they are assembled, Edgecam automatically merges and rationalises all machining sequences by tool or index position and optimising the NC output into sub-routines. Edgecam Brand Manager (...)
