NC Manufacturing Infrastructure

Enhanced Functionalities

Tool Query without Tool Type
This enhancement allows you to make a Tool Query without specifying a tool type.
Reverse Machining Consistency
This enhancement extends the support of Reverse Machining Conditions to all relevant Machining Operations. In addition, there will be an indication to identify Reversed Machining Operations in the MO name.
If any of the selected operations are locked, you will be notified about this and there will be an option to unlock these operations and to apply Reverse Machining Conditions.
Machining Directions at Machining Process Instantiation
With this enhancement, you can instantiate a machining process by taking into account either the absolute or current axis system assigned to a machining axis system change for the machining direction.
Auto-sequence Improvements
This enhancement reduces the time required to sequence operations for any rules and provides an new option for sequencing with a minimum number of tool changes.
Collision checking
User representations can be used in collision checking.

Customizing

Reverse Machining
The name of MO gets appended with the Reverse Keyword.
During NC Code Generation
No generation of NC code if MO is not updated.
MP Instantiation
When a machining process is instantiated, the tool axes and machining directions of the activities in the MP keep their absolute positions.
