CAM Modules
The stage of Computer Aided Manufacturing is a
particularly important one in the process of industrialization. It
consists in describing on the appropriate software, the machining
process, so as to be able to drive the numerically controlled machine
tool.
The required modules for the Robot Livet are the following :
- TopSolid'Cam Milling from 2-axis up to continuous 5-axis- machining : Milling centers driving
- TopSolid'Cam Turning : Turning machine driving
- TopSolid'Wire : Wire EDM driving
Every CAM - driven machine requires a Post-processor so as
to turn the CAM file into a numerical control language .The
writing of the post-processor will have to be particularly
accurate in order to avoid having to re-write it manually
NC code.
For an efficient CAM , you need to define the configuration of the
software on account of the machines and the tools available in the
workshop.
The best thing to do is to model the machines and the positionning and
clampng device into CAM, to define the standart tool – shop
for each machine and to set the cutting condition by default.
