UGS NX4: Mold Design

This UGS NX4 video tutorial covers the overall process to be followed to design the mold. Topics covered in this video are:
  • Open STEP file
  • Use of design validation tools to check for undercuts, draft, wall thickness, sharp corners, find core cavity region faces
  • Mold design tools such as Project Initialize, Work Piece Dimensions, Cavity Layout, Parting Manager, Patch Loops Selection, Core & Cavity, Mold Base Management, Standar Part Management, Pocket Management are discussed.

NX CAM: Example of a NC program including subprogramming for a multiple part

Example of a NC program including sub-programming for a multiple part setup including on-machine probing, which writes measured values into external log files which are then passed to a quality system (CAQ).  The complete NC programming task is done with NX CAM from Siemens and UserCycle, which is a NX addon tool for cycle programming. Also the machine simulation is running under ISV, the integrated simulation and verification module of NX. Only one station of the part family setup is programmed, the other 3 part programs are create automatically through the postprocessor. All probing operation are created as machine cycles. The NC program and the simulation are done for a DMC 60 U with Siemens 840D solutionline control.
