NX manufacturing: how to setup tool change time 1

[Voran]

Hello,

I am new to this forum, so hello to everybody.

Please let me know how to change the default tool changeover time in nx manufacturing, so the time calculations of my operations will be accurate. I am using NX7.5

Thank you.

Where are you looking at the time?

The value on the operation navigator cannot be changed as far as I know.

In post builder on the tool change event you can set the time.

Hi Voran, change to Machine Tool View, double-click on Generic Machine, and then change the Tool Change Time [estimates].
See also attached picture.

Kind regards, Bert Claessen

Note that if you have a machine in your setup, the time is not shown in the machine editing dialog because the time is set in the post for the ISV model.
