NX X Manufacturing Premium

NX X Manufacturing Premium is the most comprehensive package building upon the Advanced product. It incorporates simultaneous 5-axis milling and rotary machining, along with 3—and 2.5-axis milling, turning and on-machine probing capabilities.

Key features

5-axis milling: The latest toolpath strategies enable precise control over the operations, allowing efficient and safe machining of complex components on multi-axis Computer Numerical Control (CNC) machines in a single setup. Leverage 5-axis high-speed adaptive roughing to significantly reduce machining time, enhancing overall efficiency. Achieve superior surface finishes by employing guiding curves finishing, which ensures precision in your workpieces. Utilize swarf cutting to take advantage of the entire flute length, optimizing both material removal and tool life. Apply tube milling techniques to precisely machine hollow and narrow features. Visualize toolpath characteristics, including lead angles, rotary axis positions and speeds, to maintain enhanced control and accuracy throughout the process.

Rotary machining: Optimize 4-axis milling operations with minimal input, streamlining the machining process for efficiency. Implement advanced controls to precisely manage tool contact shift and point density, leading to improved machining results. Automate rest milling to ensure any uncut material is effectively machined.

3-axis milling: Accelerate CNC machining by using 3D Adaptive Roughing, reducing overall cycle times. Automate rest milling to support multi-stage roughing, ensuring no material is left uncut. Control cut regions with precision using advanced methods, enhancing the accuracy of machining strategies. Employ smooth finishing strategies to deliver a high-quality surface finish.

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.

On-machine probing: Generate and visualize probing paths with on-machine probing and create efficient probing cycles for both milling and turning operations. Output Numerical Control (NC) code seamlessly using an integrated postprocessor and simulate the entire process using a digital twin of the part, probe and machine tool. Detect process variations in real time to adjust machining parameters for optimal results.

Integrated CAD tools: NX CAM provides industry-leading CAD capabilities for modeling, editing and assembly, which speed up 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.
