Manufacturing parameters enable you to control how an NC sequence is generated. It is important to understand the different ways in which you can configure manufacturing parameters. Manufacturing Parameters Theory • Control NC sequences • Examples: – CUT_FEED = 100 – SPINDLE_SPEED = 500 – STEP_DEPTH = 2.5 – SCAN_TYPE = …

You can use template manufacturing models with pre-configured manufacturing items to speed up the creation of manufacturing models. Template Manufacturing Models • Pre-configure manufacturing items: – Operation – Coordinate Systems – Retract Positions – Fixtures – Parameters – Workcell – Tooling – NC Sequences • Default Templates • User-Defined Templates • Configuration …

You can configure a tool library where all tool data is stored. This enables quick and easy retrieval of tools by all users. Tool Parameter Libraries • Store all tool parameter files. • Use sub-folders to divide tool types. • Config.pro option: – pro_mf_tprm_dir. – Creo Parametric searches for tools from this …

You can use cutting data stored within tools to transfer optimum feed, speed, and depth of cut parameter values into NC sequences. Cutting Data Theory • Optimize parameter values • Data based on: – Workpiece material – Tool – Application ♦ Roughing/finishing Figure 1 – Cut Data Tab Cutting Data Creating and …

You can use solid model turning tools to enhance CL data display and check for interference when verifying toolpaths. Solid Model Turning Tools • Use parts or assemblies. • Play toolpaths. – View solid tool – Check for interference Creating Solid Model Turning Tools • Create part or assembly. • Create …

You configure standard turning tools by specifying tool parameters. It is important to specify the correct tool parameters to obtain the desired tool configuration. Standard Tools • Tools configured by specifying tool parameters. • Available tool type control parameters: – Turning or drilling • Parameter values control resulting tool shapes in: – Length – …

There are three different tool types: standard, solid, and sketched. It is important to understand the differences between each type of tool and when you should use them. Tool Types • Standard • Solid • Sketched Figure 1 – Standard Tool Figure 2 – Solid Tool (Multi-tipped) Figure 3 – …

The workcell specifies the type of machine used when creating NC sequences, for example, mill, lathe, or mill-turn. You must specify a workcell before you can create NC sequences. Workcell Configuration • Name • Type – Mill, Lathe, Mill-Turn, or Wire EDM • Number of Turrets • Post-Processor • Probing Option Figure 1 …

You can create NC model assemblies that consist of a reference model and a workpiece. You can then use NC model assemblies by assembling them into manufacturing models. Creating NC Model Assemblies • Create Stock Options: – Workpiece Shape – Overall Dimensions – Offset Dimensions – Rotation Offsets Figure 1 – Create …
