The Prismatic Machining section tab contains Prismatic Area, providing users with the ability to detect and machine leftover material in corners and channels with a smaller tool. Moving down to the Action Bar, we have three main section tabs used to create toolpath operations. What do some of the Shop Floor Machining features look like? The new NC Shop Floor Programmer role provides them with this capability without purchasing more expensive multi-axis machining solutions. This capability is highly coveted by those who wish to review multi-axis and Mill-Turn simulations. The third reason is for shop floor personnel who want to review existing NC programs from their manufacturing department before running the job. The second reason is for the machinist who needs to create G-code programs on the shop floor for simple parts-maybe a clamp or a tooling fixture-that need to get done quickly rather than wait on engineering. Reason number one is for the small machine shop or the single user running SOLIDWORKS® who need to get the most value out of their respective machines tools. We developed the NC Shop Floor Programmer for three reasons. Toolpath simulation and machine kinematics are standard capabilities included in all DELMIA machining roles.
Plus you are not making the part file size bigger by adding the HSMWorks code to it which helps keep the assembly file size smaller (company data base, not CAM data base).NC Shop Floor Programmer provides full 3-axis machining capabilities, 4- and 5-axis pre-position, and wire EDM into a single role. We I started using HSMWorks, before AD, I called NexgenCAM for help and Kieth explained to me the why and now it is just second nature using display states, kind of like the hide and show or blank\un-blank of other CAD systems.Īs with any internal CAM in SW most make an assembly to cut the parts, just makes sense since in the real world using clamps, vises, screws, sub plate it is an assembly. Remember suppression is like it was never modeled so HSMWorks\Express thinks it is gone, deleted and will fail. You never suppress a config or make an Assembly config! You have to use display states to hide and show the components, aka part\s. In an Assembly: you drop in the the part the number of config you are going to cut of the part and then set the properties of each instance to one of the configs.Īll parts or multiple instances of a part have to be active. In a part: when you switch the configuration the internal ID's of faces and feature change between them so when you activate another the toolpath looses the attachment to the config you used to cut, hence failure and red X's, asking you to rebuild or re-select geom. The reason only in an assembly is because you have to put in the part in the assembly as many times as the amount of configurations to be cut. I work with them every day, but only works while in an assembly!
