NX POST PROCESSORS WITH MACHINE SIMULATION & OPTIMIZATION

NX has its own post processor system that is closely related to the CAM core system. For almost any form of machine tool and controller configuration, you can easily generate the necessary NC code. A variety of posts that support a wide range of machine tools are provided by the online post processor library.

NX CAM also provides a Post Configurator for several machine-controller setups that allow you to quickly build and modify post processors. You can define parameters for the necessary NC codes easily by using its graphical user interface.

NX CAM offers an optimized post processor for Sinumerik controllers, which automatically selects key controller settings based on data from machining operations. In order to drive efficient development, you can generate full shop documentation, including the optimized NC software, tooling list, and setup sheet.

The NX CAM major advantage encourages integrated simulation and verification, enabling you to review tool paths during the NC programming session.

Multiple capacity levels are available. For example, material removal verification helps you to verify and optimize machining operations while you program.

The simulation of the G-code-based machine tool demonstrates the motion driven from the NC code performance of the internal post processor of the NX. The system’s 3D model – with the component, fixtures, and tooling – moves in the way the machine tool moves as the G-code is processed.
