ESPRIT delivers an out-of-the-box approach for programming Mori Seiki’s multitasking machines,
such as post processor writing and machine definition. Program Mori Seiki multitasking mill-turn machines with a
complete, pre-configured solution— developed by DP Technology. ESPRIT’s mill-turn prowess is the ultimate result of
collaboration with machine builders and DP’s focused software development for this specific class of machine tools.
The ESPRIT/Mori Seiki cooperation demonstrates the concept of a machine tool manufacturer and CAM software vendor
partnering to produce a complete solution.
ESPRIT is pre-packaged to run the complete line of Mori Seiki Machine tools including the latest generation of
MT, ZT, ZL, NV, and NL series of machines.

| | | New B-Axis Contouring for Multitasking Machines |  (22-Apr-2008) Owners of multitasking machines can now take full advantage of the rotational B-axis capabilities of these versatile machines with the new B-Axis Contouring cycle introduced in ESPRIT 2008. As a leader in multi-axis machining, DP Technology is at the forefront of fully utilizing the capabilities of the latest machine tool technology.
The new B-Axis Contouring cycle is yet another example of DP Technology’s commitment to the future of machining.
The new B-Axis Contouring operation is designed specifically to achieve higher performance levels from multitasking machines. This innovative new lathe finishing cycle can cut continuously along inner and outer profiles in one step with just one tool. Traditional contouring cycles normally require a series of turning tools with differing tool geometry. B-axis Contouring takes a more efficient approach by continuously rotating the B-axis as the tool follows the contour, allowing the cutting tool to reach areas that would otherwise be inaccessible due to the tool’s geometry.
The addition of the B-axis contouring capability in ESPRIT 2008 offers a unique opportunity for advanced users of mill/turns, or for those who seek to streamline operations. Utilizing this new machining cycle reduces the number of cutting tools required, the number of tool changes, and results in a smooth and stepless surface and, ultimately, a significant savings in both time and money.
In late June 2007, a test cut was performed successfully at the Los Angeles office of the Mori Seiki machine tool company. Olivier Thenoz, DP Mill Turn Product Manager, performed the test cut in cooperation with Randy Felten, Manager, Applications, for Mori Seiki. The pair performed a B-axis contouring operation on a Mori Seiki NT3150.
