A bit MAC Machine company is the proudest, it is it can carry on the project that other company dare not continue. Recently, this company equiped the CAM software of Mastercam, overcame the challenge that place of treatment aviation component brings not only, and still obtained new order. Presiding programmer Mr Randy Barbe of MAC Machine company is in the newest version that acquires CAM software before 9 weeks, agency phones him, remind him the CAM software of new version has some of new character to suit its factory very much. Mr Barbe can be everyday almost above new software take a moment, work through example, machine the task to carry out the cutting tool way that has perspective most to showing some, how it can help itself till sufficient understanding. The administrative layer of MAC Machine company encourages Mr Barbe to spend time to consider the advanced function of software and equipment, because the business nature in the factory is complex. This company major is engaged in advanced machining, basically produce surgical and embedded system, medical treatment to diagnose equipment and for military use and commercial plane part and component. This factory is brought think the thing that be proud is capable to carry on the project that others does not wish to consider, and in this one effort, the characteristic of new CAM software and the function that ability brings absolutely cannot small gaze. Graph the work that base of 1 individual aluminium processes this is the circumstance 2008, at that time Mastercam X4 of bring into contact with of Mr Barbe first time (the institute of CNC Software company that by Kangniedige the city asks Lan Zhen is developed) , this software helped him in time resolve the difficulty that aviation spare parts creates. More important is, the machines this spare parts new software function that Mr Barbe place masters was machining the clique when similar component to go up later use, machine this kind of component to make a of this factory new strong point from now on. This are complex workpiece has the characteristic such as antrum of deep, Bao Bi, quarter grain, must undertake machining with individual aluminium base. For this, the need in the factory has a kind of method to secure Bao Bi surely, well and truly control needs to achieve the long and thin cutting tool of deep antrum interior. In CNC Software company and Song Pu (Matsuura) the agency Methods Machine Tools that makes a company limited (be located in Ma Sazhu Sadebaili presses down city of a place of strategic importance) below the help, mr Barbe developed technology of accurate CNC Machining, use a 5 rods system of much tray of Song Pu MAM72-63V. He uses method of cutting tool of tall cutting rate at the CAD model of Mastercam, introduce CAMPlete TruePath software next in, undertake test and verify first before treatment and optimize technological process. The client is satisfied to this one result, the place of loose riverside machinery that make ever announced for this this factory is his 5 axes machine machined international 2008 the winner of the match. This project is one of the similar work series that this factory produces, mr Barbe call this work series " arch goes out " . These intricate work are cast normally, because its are in-house treatment is difficult, before Dan Zhu builds a mould to often prepare to retire in them, had ruptured or wear away. This can make manufacturer faces such problem: Mould of ceaseless rehabilitate the aged or buy a likelihood to cannot call in for years the new pattern of cost. MAC Machine offerred the alternative of be economical for its client: From whole preform " arch goes out " workpiece. In fact, want these moulds to did not discard as useless only, a lot of clients continue to develop treatment craft to use treatment in the workshop vintage mould casts the workpiece that come out, . So this is pair of winning favours: The client need not fear the flower is using a fund at " spare parts of the setting sun " on the mould, and concern of cast pay issue also need not is in the factory. In addition, client design modification spare parts also need not worry about rebuild the problem of mould system. Produce this kind of part, crucial advantage is to be able to use fast purify the cutting tool method of a large number of hangover. Mr Barbe says, the first in the factory " arch goes out " won award, but if do not have the help of the method of 5 axes cutting tool of Mastercam software,machine very hard. "The opportunity masters very well, when because this is to become,CAMplete gave the 4th edition, mastercam also is in its assembled in new version method of advanced much axis cutting tool, " he is recollected. "If do not have these cutting tool method, my general must take a lot of pain for this spare parts. Whole algorithm is very useful. " his complement says, if method of this cutting tool does not carry out the means that he asks at the outset, he can undertake clearing in solid job, change surface mixes means or use other operate function, so that CAM software can make cleaner cutting tool way. Scheme of check of software of graph 2 Mastercam X4 CAM Mr Barbe still was listed a few otherer CAM software function, they conduce to production " arch goes out " treatment of requires machine of tall cutting rate: (1)Microlifts: In including the method of cutting tool of milling of 2 dimension trends in Mastercam. Use at model antrum milling. The characteristic of Microlift is can shrink cutting tool return very small, the distance that the user defines, 0. 01in (1in=0.
254cm) or 0.
02in, is not when order demand movement from model in antrum completely retractile. This utmost ground decreased to be cut for nothing, in machining a process as far as possible much maintenance the working status of cutting tool, improved productivity. (2) is right the monitoring of suitable mill: Software monitoring adjusts the condition of entail much effort of cutting tool, the pressure that goes up in order to avoid cutting tool is too great, arrive at a corner when it especially when. Reduce be a strain, prevent to bump cutting tool of blind angle attaint or workpiece, or bump into workpiece a clamping apparatus. The suitable mill that this same to be in in the cutting tool when feed way rotates especially effective. (3) clamping apparatus designs: Mr Barbe uses the CAD module of this software to design fixture, two clamping apparatus secure workpiece firmly, the distinctive advancing angle that asks according to place rolls out workpiece, machine medium measure with reducing much axis as far as possible. (4) imitate: Mr Barbe can be in environment of same CAM process designing spare parts, clamping apparatus and visualize of cutting tool method. The function of test and verify of this software still offers representation of a kind of colour coding, the some in stating how many material has been being made appoints level to be dropped by cutting. He saves this information for STL file, can be called after him so and need not generate it afresh. "We saved STL file and they move in working the next time. " his explanation says. "When waiting for us to had been done, can have a complete workpiece vision model. We use these files to find the overburden of cutting tool method of dent, breach and impropriety. " Backplot is another kind of commonly used imitate function. All computer animation that it can offer cutting tool to move for Mr Barbe and the most adjacent and actual handling time. Mr Barbe says, these functions improved the quality that the workshop works, outfit clip is for instance faster, periodic time is shorter, reduced cutting tool damaged and mechanical accident. "We all the time very depend on it, so that we are new,employed the 2nd programmer, now even the 3rd. " he says. Although he returns what did not see other part and original bear the palm at present " arch goes out " euqally complex, but Mr Barbe says he can be used about the time of the half produces such part. Anyhow, he mastered new software function for this kind of spare parts, pass improve productivity of other and similar item, saved a large number of expenditure for the company. Anyhow, spending time study is best investment. Besides what win Songpu company limited 5 axes machined international 2008 beyond the match, the treatment technology that develops spare parts of this complex aviation still makes MAC Machine can assume the job that machines similar spare parts, help what the client avoids to change or repair ageing cast a mould. This spare parts is machined on MAM72-63V of 5 axes Song Pu, those who use is Mastercam X4 software creates the program with test and verify of CAMplete TruePath software. No matter be the aviation spare parts of bear the palm, other still " arch goes out " , have such characteristic: The hole is very deep, can cause problem of cutting tool clearance. The method of dynamic milling cutting tool of Mastercam software includes function of a kind of Microlift, be can shrink cutting tool the very little space that returns user definition, is not complete from model call in in antrum. This utmost ground decreased to be cut for nothing, maintain the contact of cutting tool and workpiece, hold position of machine treatment convention as far as possible. This program is finished in Mastercam X4 hind, introduce Camplete Truepath software, optimize with high accuracy through checking, again devoted use. CNC Milling
