NX Library siemens NX

NX Library is the interface between the manufacturing application and your machining database.

The standard installation for native NX provides an ASCII-based database for cutting tools, holders, machine tools, and feeds and speeds data. This database is filled with some standard information and can be used as a basis for building your own database. This option is suitable for a smaller database with few changes.

The Teamcenter Manufacturing installation provides the Resource Manager, which offers more functionality for creating and classifying your data. Resource Manager is suitable for a large or complex database of tooling and machinability information.

The library function is the same for either database. You can:

• Store and classify large amounts of tool, machine and feeds and speeds data within Manufacturing

• Customize the database to suit your needs

• Retrieve data easily into CAM operations

• Create new tools and holders and export them to the database.

• Save time by basing your data structure on the existing tool structure that is delivered with NX Library

The Library allows access to the following types of information:

• cutting tool

• tool holder

• machine tool

• machine device

• feeds and speeds

• setup template

• CAM output
