At the end of this course, you will know about:
Milling Tool Control Points in ESPRIT let you drive milling tools from system-defined or custom control points. This gives you more control over your NC output, lets you define multiple control points in a single tool definition, and brings your virtual tool definitions closer to real life.
Download the file for the System-Defined Control Points demo
This is an ESPRIT Pack and Save *.zip file that you can download and open directly in ESPRIT to follow along with the demo or to try this feature yourself. (ESPRIT R4.3 or later required)

Automatically manage feedrate in certain drilling cycles when the tool passes through intersecting holes or pockets. You can apply this feedrate management to conventional drilling, drilling with chip removal, drilling with chip breaking, and deep hole cycles.
In this lesson, you will learn the basics of intersection feedrate management and how to set it up in ESPRIT.
For turning machines with dual turrets, mill-turn machines with a turret, and Swiss machines, Balanced turning lets you program simultaneous turning operations using two tools on opposite sides of the turning axis.
Collinear axes greatly increase the versatility of certain machine tools. For example, a Z/W bridge-ram assembly on a large gantry mill can add travel to reach lower Z-axis points.
They can also position machine components for better efficiency, such as a B axis on a long-bed turning center that moves the sub-spindle for shorter rapid travel on workpieces that only need some portion of the bed length.
In this lesson, you will learn how to set up a collinear axis in ESPRIT R4.3.
