The Advanced Programming module assists you in programming machines that can simultaneously execute multiple channel NC programs. It includes a method for synchronizing the channel programs by adding synchronization and wait codes to the tool path, as well as simulation and time calculation features to verify and optimize the NC …

The ability to rearrange the tool path order in an interactive fashion during synchronization gives you enormous capacity for optimizing your NC program. This is where the fine-tuning of the program occurs. When you rearrange the order of the operations, remember that: You can only rearrange in the collapsed mode. …

Before you can synchronize tool paths, you must retrieve a machine from NX Library into your CAM part. The machine must have a machine model part file including a kinematics model. You can create this using the Machine Tool Builder. For information on how to create this model, see the …

External Trim allows you to make an external profile cut or series of cuts around the outside of the boundary. The External Trim consists of the trim operation and the cutoff operation. Trim is the main tool path that cuts the material to be removed. This leaves a tab that …

Post Builder allows you to customize the appearance of the dialogs. Work with the following two files to make your customization changes. ui_pb_resource.tcl You can modify this file to change the default font sets, labels, messages and text strings that appear throughout Post Builder. Only the system administrator should change …

The dialog box contains only a menu bar, toolbar, and a cue line. Other dialog boxes appear as you perform tasks related to post processor definition. When you open the Create New Post Processor dialog box or the editing dialog box, the cue line continues to show suggestions about the …

You can define your own feature types and teach NX these feature types using the Teach Features command. Examples of feature types include holes, slots, faces, and complex custom features. You can automatically generate new machining rules for the new features, using the Teach Machining Rules command to generate the …

Find Features lets you create machining features from different sources: Feature Identification selects standard features and User Defined Features (UDFs) from the part model. This method requires a part model that was created with features. For more information about UDFs, see User Defined Features. (This method is often called Design …

What is it? When you visualize material removal, you can now choose between motion-based IPW updates and length-based IPW. Why should I use it? Use motion-based rendering when you want the fastest performance in rendering the resulting IPW. The tool position may be updated several times during a motion, but …

Before you can use the machine tool model during the manufacturing session, you need to do the following: Define the machine tool assembly – Using the Assembly functionality, define the machine tool geometry model as an assembly part file. We recommend conforming with the master model concept (see Creating a …
