Follow the following steps to synchronize your tool path: Create a part file. Enter the Manufacturing application. Replace the machine with appropriate one from the machine tool library. Load your part as a component onto the machine. Create tools, geometry, and operations as you would when programming a single turret …

The synchronization manager shows you the time each machine event begins in the channel list. Generally, the start time of the next event is the end time of the previous event, with the exception of synchronization events. The system does not automatically recalculate machine times when you make program changes, …

You define a lathe spindle in the Machine Tool Builder by classifying a kinematics component as _LATHE_SPINDLE. Every lathe spindle must contain one junction to define a lathe work plane. This is the plane where the tool tip moves during turning operations. Furthermore, the lathe work plane junction defines the …

The CLSF (cutter location source file) Manager allows you to manipulate and display the indivitual tool pathes and/or the entire CSLF by using the options below. A tool path contains GOTO points and other tool path descriptive data (e.g., MCS location, tool parameters, and display settings). Each tool path is …

The Machining Parameters options allow you to define various parameters related to cutting the part. The options described below are dependent on the Cut Type (External Trim, Internal Trim, No Core, Open Profile) specified. The following parameters can be customized. No Core Stock This option allows you to define the …

This example shows how to improve postprocessing performance of Fanuc style posts for four-axis and five-axis machines. Open a 4-axis or 5-axis post. On the Program & Tool Path tab, click the Custom Command tab. Click Import. Select the POSTBUILD/pblib/custom_command/pb_cmd_activate_turbo_mode.tcl file and click Open. In the Import Custom commands from …

The dialog box to define and edit a post processor shows the name of the currently open post processor in its title bar. The following main tabs are available: Machine Tool Lets you display a generic view of the machine tool, set basic kinematic parameters of the machine tool, and …

Feature-based machining can be accomplished by different methods: Knowledge Fusion (KF) based Feature groups come first, then processes. Classification criteria is defined within the feature subtypes. Holemaking and Holemilling use multiple specialized feature template subtypes, such as SIMPLE_HOLE, that each contain machining knowledge, classification criteria, and so on, that are …

Optimization improves cutting efficiency by applying rules to the NC program. Optimization uses machining feature templates (explained in the section Machining Feature Templates) to give the NC programmer the most efficient operations to machine each feature and to optimize the order in which they are performed. Operations are optimized by …

This option allows you to select a machine code file and to simulate it using ISV. The system then translates G-code into tool axis positions and presents the results graphically. MTD model The MTD model requires: A plug-in installed which you have to initialize with machine-specific information. A cam set-up …
