CAM-POST V17® is an advanced independent single source NC post-processing develop mem. management and deployment technology supporting all major CAD / CAW ' PLM systems. CNC controllers and line tools. CAM-POST V17 as over 35 years of industry leading NC manufacturing expertise to deliver Ihe most ! and flexible system architecture available. CAM-POST V17 Benefit Highlights Ease of use takes the front seat for quick & efficient implementations... CAM-POST V17 includes over 200 NC controller quick-slart defaults, which can be selected to simplify and speed postprocessor creation. Also, as a standard feature. CAM-POST V17 includes a unique comprehensive 'point and click" Wizard that allows even the most novice users to generate advanced NC posi-processors quickly and effectively. The Wizard easily guides users through all the various steps involved when creating NC post-processors by using illustrated sets of instructions, which provide an intuitive graphical interface for effortless definition ol machine kinematics, axis sign conventions, travel limitations and rotary pivot distance offsets. Virtual Machine® for Integrated machine tool simulation during post-processing... Implementing Virtual Machine as an integrated option to CAM-POST Vf 7, delivers a powerful graphical machine tool simulation solution thai enables NC programmers to graphically simulate and test programs easily and automatically against collisions during post-processing. The machine tool and controller data lor both Virtual Machine and CAM-POST are stored and managed in the same database. This eliminates the enor-prone and time consuming alternative of entering the same machine and control data twice when using a non-integrated solution. An instinctive, knowledge-based methodology... CAM-POST VI7 provides a "Navigator" that organizes post development inlo broad categories and more specialized subcategories. A "Modification Wizard" provides access to a subset ol the complete development environment, eiposing only those post-processor specilicafions mosl likely to require review. CAM-POST's extended depth enables customers to handle complex situations by providing simple responses, rather than having to design and develop logic using macros. Increased NC programmer productivity and manufacturing process efficiency... The CAM-POST Vf 7 "Visual Debugger" traces and synchronizes the CL file input. NC code output, macro code and diagnostic messages produced during post-processing. The user can view or change any post-processor variable on the fly. in a single Integrated professional workbench. variables change or when certain blocks are produced. CAM-POST V17 management capabilities include: lull do/undo to support lor multiple revisions ol Ihe post-processor to compare different post versions with "links" to directly jump lo differing post specifications; full-time on-line Iralp and a 'quick tesl" button to immediately see the NCcoda effect on changes for easy e |
