l We " call it Gibbs Can!" Drills used to rescue Chilean miners were made with CNCs programmed by GibbsCAM. Brandon Fisher, Center Rock founder and CEO (left), with Richard Soppe, down-hole-drill project manager, and their worn 26" Low Profile drill that made the final bore to the Chilean miners, 2,067 feet below the surface. • • • • • • • • • Solid Modeling 2-5 Axis Milling High Speed Machining Turning Mill/Turn Multi-Task Machining Swiss Tombstone Machining Wire-EDM Center Rock Inc., of Berlin, PA, combined state-of-the-art technology and expertise to cut in half the time (from five months to two and a half) to rescue 33 Chilean miners. Today, Center Rock programmers and machinists continue to accelerate production of drills and drill bits by using GibbsCAM to drive their machining centers, lathes and MTM machines. GibbsCAM integrates all operations. As a result, when programming mill-turn or MTM, the CNC programmer stays within the same user interface. Turning, milling, drilling and non-cutting processes, such as tool changes and transfers between spindles, are executed without having to exit an active module. This dramatically saves time while providing unmatched ease of use. If you're searching for CAM software that can provide breakthrough performance... Gibbs Can!
