Machining productivity NX CAM delivers the next level of NC programming productivity with specialized industry-specific capabilities. NX CAM for machinery Volume-based 2.5D milling provides a very fast and intuitive method of programming prismatic parts. Simply select faces such as walls and floors within on the 3D part model to define the machined volumes. An instant visual preview provides fast and easy validation of the planned machining operation. Programming can be 5 to 10 times faster. The system continuously keeps track of uncut material and minimizes air-cutting, reducing machining time up to 10 percent.

Using job numbers or work programmers to the rich tooling data of package identifiers, operators can locate the MRL. NC programmers can browse, the correct data files needed for search and select tooling assemblies from production, including CNC programs, tool the MRL. Of course, this includes the solid lists, setup sheets and drawings. When assembly representations that then further CNC programs are created, modified or improve the simulation of the NC optimized by the production team, they operation. can be saved and maintained as new data or revisions to existing data. Shop Floor Connect for Teamcenter Shop Floor Connect for Teamcenter delivers CNC program files directly to machine controllers. More than just a traditional DNC system, the connection to the centralized Teamcenter database ensures that manufacturing data is secure and the manufacturing plan-to-production process is controlled. It avoids data duplication and manages revisions to make sure the correct manufacturing data is used on the shop floor. Shop floor personnel can directly access the data they need. © 2012 Siemens Product Lifecycle Management Software Contact Inc. All rights reserved.
