John,
Thank you for inquiring about that with your manufacturing gurus. THAT'S GREAT NEWS. I am certain that it will be one of the most exciting feature of NX 7.5 (as far as CAM of course), as this capability will increase productivity by up to 30%. With Vericut you can import any NC programs...
HI,
I was wondering if there was a way to have "variable" cutting feed rates in NX6 as there is in Vericut with their OPTIPATH? Basically optipath varies the cutting feed rates according to actual material being removed, for instance it's going to increase the cutting feed rates on straight...
Wow John,
That's amazing! I didn't know we could do that in NX6....
Thanks a lot!
I had a couple more questions in regards to machining that specific model...
In the case of the THRU pockets, I wanted to center drill & drill 2 holes in order to get my cutter in there instead of ramp it. I...
HI there,
I was hoping you guys could help me CENTER, or simply MOVE an extrusion in relation to an object. I have attached an NX6 file which is a simple footpeg. Somehow, I am unable to move the "bracket" with the circular hole. I would like that bracket to be centered with the actual footpeg...
Thanks guys, it's a big help.
Bill, I didn't know about the details window where the 1,2 3 increments makes it g54, 55, 56 so thanks. Under the same window, what is the difference between LOCAL and MAIN in the PURPOSE field? What about right underneath for the RCS... should I "link RCS to MCS"...
John,
Thank you for the quick response.
I have just tried to rotate the sketch using EDIT>FEATURE>MOVE as per your advice, but as you mentioned, that function has older design and I cannot figure out how to rotate between 2 axis. Is there an easier way to rotate sketches in NX6?
Also you...
HI there,
I have modeled a simple motorcycle footpeg as an exercise to learn NX6...
I have the following problem... I have sketched a rectangle on one of its side but while trying to rotate the rectangle using "move object", it tells me that I cannot do it because it has constraints but I have...
HI guys,
I'm still learning the manufacturing side of NX6, and making strong progress... thanks to all of you.
According to what I read, I believe the "part zero" is called MSC in NX6, am I correct?
Assuming that I am, I want to do the following:
I am trying to make 1 program with 3...
John,
Thank you for your help. I looked quickly at your files and it makes a lot of sense. I'll need to work on duplicating what you did to really understand the steps, as soon as I return from visiting my folks in Canada.
Happy Holidays
Max
John,
Thank you for shedding light on this. I am finding out that NX is extremely powerful but at the same time NOT the friendliest program to learn. That being said, I am making some strong progress, and am quite happy.
Funny thing is.. I find myself having a hard time doing super simple...
Hi there,
I am learning the cam module of NX6 through the self-paced CAST course. I am noticing that there are operations in MILL_CONTOUR machining environment that are also in the MULTI_AXIS environment, and therefore have the exact same icon... Are they EXACTLY the same operation under a...
John,
You are brilliant! Thank you so much. Little things like that seem like nothing, but will make a HUGE difference for me in being more efficient. I always say:"everybody can cut metal with a CNC, but it's how efficient you are at cutting it that makes the difference!" I'm kind of new at NX...
HI,
I have a few basic questions in regards to the CAM module of NX6. I am creating toolpaths and verifying them without any problems using the end mills that I have loaded in the pockets. Now I would like to SIMULATE instead of VERIFY my toolpaths, so I proceeded to select my machine as using...
John,
Thank you very much for the quick reply.
I tried your model and it worked perfectly. Somehow I must have not done the unite prior to blending them (although I thought I did).
Thank you very much.
Max
