Display Chuck in Manufacturing Turning?

Display Chuck in Manufacturing Turning?

Display Chuck in Manufacturing Turning?

(OP)
Hi,

What is the easiest way to display my chuck withing in turning? I have a complete model assembly of my chuck attached here.

Reusable part? I also want to be able to adjust the jaw opening as well. I was thinking about using something similar to the attached xlsx sheet to drive the jaw opening?

Thank you for any help you can offer!

John

PS Using NX10


RE: Display Chuck in Manufacturing Turning?

It not so easy. You must defone all kinematics of your machine with Machine Tool Builder application - see examples in installed_machines folder. You need to define and discribe your chuck as device - see example in device folder. And you need a license for Machine Configurator.

I like the above persons advice better, but I am sure making a deformable component is another option.
