Using NX3 Manufacturing I would like to cut a slot on a tube O.D. Not a groove but a "S" shaped slot the travels the length of the tube. I have created a Post that uses the 3-axis machining center with the addition of a indexable CNC head. What program option allows activation of a 4th axis? I...
Once the above is set when you "VERIFY" the Tool path in the 3D or 2D DYNAMIC settings there will be an option to"GENERATE IPW". Selct this and the facet type then Select "SAVE IPW AS A COMPONENT". This should create what you need. There are slight differnces in the selections between 2D and 3D...
Is the "PREFERENCES", "MANUFACTURING PREFERENCES", "CONFIGURATION" have the box checked that reads "ENABLE LEVEL BASED IPW SAVED IN SEPERATE PART FILE"?
If the not this is a good point to start at...
looslib, tried that but the manuals are MIA. Things are not real organized so I am using Trial by error.
Anyways I have edit the Post to add the "D0" command in the same line as the G41-G42 and the it appears that it will suffice. I am using RESISTERS instead of the DO being an input value at...
When using G41 and or G42 is it required that the D0 command be on the same line as the G41-G42 command? My cuurent POST pusts the D0 on its own line which is one before the G41-G42 command is used.
I am getting conflicting information from the Shop floor on the process and would like some...
Have not used TURNING yet in my short programming experience but I have you tried the following?
While in the program select the MACHINE icon.
This should activate the MACHINE CONTROL window.
Select the CUTTER COMPENSATION icon.
This should activate the CUTTER COMPENSATION window.
Select...
Is there a way for the "File Properties" to read and display the a Parameter?
I am thinking it could be key stokes such as //, < etc.
I would like a Sketch dimension to drive the "File Properties", which are in turn displayed in the Parts List of an Assembly.
Thanks in Advance.
I have to Mill a shape similar to an ellipse on a vertical machining center. I have a program that completes the desired task but with one problem. The profile is not being cut properly. The surface is not curved instead the profile has been broken up into line segments. This yields a faceted...
The error is occuring in an assembly of moderate size. The parts I designing around have been received by Parasolid from Catia V5. I checked the body from Catia and they check as a single surface not a "single" body. I think this may be where the issue is. For reference I have three converted...
Is there a way to estimate a process time for a Milling operation? I.E. I programm a part with three operations, can I query the system for a cycle time of a given process?
Thanks
Version is NX3. I am getting the error when I try to add my cusotm parts list template to a drawing sheet. Will try the above and see what happens. The undo size of 4057 sounds familar from many years ago. Will keep you posted.
