Computer Application in Post Processor Development of an Indigenous CAD/CAM Package
نویسنده
چکیده
CollabCAD is an indigenous 3D CAD/CAM software system for collaborative design and development of Industrial Designs for strategic use. This work is for CAM module of the indigenous software, in which the development of post-processor is the task that is accomplished. The CAD model is created in CollabCAD and the required tool path was produced in a generic format known as Cutter Location (CL) data. Then it is converted by an application program called “PSG CollabCAD Post processor (PCP)” into the form suitable for the machine tool. CNC machining operations that include drilling, boring and threading operations were considered for post-processing. The CNC program generated by the PCP 2.1 was verified using Fanuc -32i control’s tool path simulation and by machining a test piece in a CNC machining centre. Keywords-CL data, CollabCAD, PCP 2.1, FANUC – 32i

متن کاملDevelopment of CAD/CAM System for Cross Section’s Changing Hole Electrical Discharge Machining -Formulation of Post Processor-
This study deals with the development of a new CAD/CAM system for fabricating the holes whose cross sections are changing variously. A cross section of a machined hole is generally constant. To solve the problem, a new device had developed which could create cross section’s changing holes by means of electrical discharge machining. However, it was impossible to put the device into practical use...

Background and Aim: Chairside computer-aided design/computer-aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM) systems have become considerably more accurate, reliable, efficient, fast, and prevalent since 1985 when CEREC was introduced. The inceptive restorative material option for chairside CAD/CAM restorations was limited to ceramic blocks. Today, restorative material options have been multiplied and include me...
متن کاملMethodology to Determine Kinematic Parameters for the Postprocessor of Multi-axis Cnc Milling Center
Kinematic models for post processors have been developed for different multi-axis machining centers, but the actual values which define the kinematic model can be obtained by using expensive measurement equipment. A simple procedure can be developed to acquire these values. This paper proposes a methodology to determine tool compensation vector and rotational compensation vector for the post pr...
