NX X Manufacturing Standard incorporates automated prismatic part programming using computer-aided design (CAD) and computer-aided manufacturing (CAM), featuring 2.5-axis milling, hole making, turning and on-machine probing capabilities. With seamless integration to top-tier CAD tools, it streamlines prismatic part programming, reducing programming time by up to 90%.
Key features
2.5-axis milling: Machine with volume-based milling to enable faster programming of prismatic parts, and feature-based machining automates programming. High-speed machining strategies can reduce machining time by up to 60%, and multiple-part programming boosts productivity.
Turning: Effectively machine cylindrical parts on lathe machines with single and dual spindles using comprehensive turning capabilities. Roughing strategies include face, turn, back turn, bore and undercut operations, while finishing techniques encompass multiple-passes strategies and facing. Hole-making includes spot, drill, peck, chip, ream and tap operations, with grooving offering flexible tracking point control and threading for outer and inner diameters.
Simulation, postprocessing and shop documentation: Use toolpath animation and a postprocessor to generate production-ready G-code. Post Hub, a cloud-based library with over 1,000 postprocessors, and Post Configurator allow modification or creation of new postprocessors; machine tool builder and work instruction tools create kinematics models and develop associative work instructions.
Integrated CAD tools: NX CAM provides industry-leading CAD capabilities for modeling, editing and assembly, which speed up computer numerical control (CNC) programming. Using the integrated translators, you can read all the standard data formats, including IGES, DXF, STEP, STL and JT.
Manufacturing metrics are based on internal test machining or internal comparison studies.
