Hi everyone, I am looking for functionality about checking a selection of curves on chainability.
This means by box-select [or group] and then run any automation to check the involved curves on "chainability". This could be >1000 elements.
I want to use it on dxf geometry, before WireEDM...
Hi Everybody, we are a dieshop who is investigating a possible switch to NX. At the moment we use ME10 for our designs, and we reuse this drafting geometry for machining. Were necessary we make a 3d-solid for multi-axis machining [Mill&WEDM].
Anyone experience by using NX as a CAD solution for...
Hi everybody does anyone have some more [digital] information about the process studio author to build wizards for manufacturing tasks. I only have, like everybody ofcourse, the NX-help documentation.
Also if anyone knows about training about this subject somewhere near Netherlands or Germany...
Hi everybody, since we upgraded [whatever "up" means], to NX7.5.3 [MP01] we are facing problems with the Zlevel profile operation. When machining a part [hole with chamfer 5mm x 2-degrees] the part is scrapped. When creating the chamfer by revolving a sketch there is no issue? GTAC advised to...
Hi everybody, is it possible to control the text height of a note, used for engraving within manufacturing, by expression. This is meant for the programmers to make it more aesy to change the text-height, and the surrounding text-slot by a single expression value.
Thanks in advance, Bert
Hi everybody, how can the behaviour of a milling-tool with a cornerradius, when using a curveboundary, be changed so that the tool is not going over the edge, when using planar milling.
Removing the radius solves the issue but toolradius is necessary in other operation and for simulation also. I...
Hi everybody, I am trying to define a sketch that can be used as a reusable item. As far as I get, the sketch is then always applied to the same plane from the initial datum-coordinate-system, but I would like this sketch to be attached to any datum-plane I select. The same behaviour when using...
At this time we are now starting with NX7.5 CADCAM, giving us the opportunity to organise things better/new from the start. This should also include the definition of feeds and speeds. We are a die&mold company, machining mainly 1 [sometimess a second] type of partmaterial, with an average of 40...
I have a question about UGPOST. Is anyone using it? What are [dis-]advantages for using it compared to postprocessing in the session? What do all the command lines mean [especially program-name versus N/C Output, UG Post command line]?
Thanks, Bert
Hi everybody, is it possible to actually "convert" a circular move into a helical move by using the toolpath-edit option. At the moment I only have deformed circular moves left. If yes, what is the rigt way to do so. The reason why, we would like to use 2D planar curves [ME10-dxf] for a...
Hi Everybody, is it possible to create a pb-command that would give me the possibility to collect all operationnames, active tool number and sequence number and write this as a list to the beginning of the NC-file. It should act a little like the toollist PB-COMMAND that can be imported, that...
We are now introducing NX6 for our Mazak FH4800 with Fanuc controller. We want to use full-diameter cutcom on last path for some operations. However some damage part-drive-contour. For engage there is :
G1 G41 X-- Y--
For retract however there is:
G40 D00
G1 X-- Y--, can these two moves be lines...
Hi everyone, has anyone experience with NX-CAM/Postbuilder to generate output by one main-program that is actually calling all the operations defined within UG as subprogram [for Fanuc like G65.... or ....] with ofcourse the subprograms listed in the main program. This should give the operator...
Hi everybody we are using CamExpress [NX6] for our dieshop next to hypermill and solidworks. My question with respect to NX, I have a template part with all settings predefined and menus customised to serve our needs. Is it also possible to define a engraving text [logo] and some variable...
Hi everybody, I have a question about NX6-CAM with respect to Cutting Parameters -> Corner -> Smoothing. Is it possible within Finish Walls that the final pass is not using corner-smoothing but actually milling the profile instead.
This seems at least a little bit funny to me if not?
The upper...
Hi everbody, when mirroring a cut it switches [logically] from conventional to climb cut [or viceversa]. Is there any solution to keep the milling direction the same?
Within our dies we have a lot of mirror operations possible, and I do not want to create them twice if a good solution is...
Dear all, we are a mold/die shop, using NX6-CamExpress [besides Hypermill] for machining [up to 5 axes & WEDM]. After hardening we would like to machine our 2D curves in a 3D manner, it can be compared with helical milling. After one pass around the profile the depth-feed [Z movement] should...
Hi Everybody, we are currently testing CamExpress NX6 within our machineshop [mold&die]. What is the easiest way for engraving text on the outside of a cilinder shaped part. This using 5-axis milling machine or 4-axis with rotary table. Output must be :
Z travel for depth, Y travel and B-rotary...
Is it possible to define a swept-boss/base with a spline as path for a library file. The sketch should be on a plane at the end of the path-spline [plane on curve/perpendicular]. Furthermore there should be more configurations available within the lib-file. I get some errors. Any help out there...
Hi everybody, hope someone can help me with the next issue. We are a manufacturer of aluminium extrusion dies. We use SW2008 for the CAD part and Hypermill [SW Goldpartener] for 5-axis CAM-machining. The question now is if it is possible to define a new coordinate system with Z direction...
