2.1.1.1 Add/Modify Normal Tools To open the tool library in NC Express go to Settings menu | select Tool library. Again normal tools consist of Round, Rectangle, Square, Obround, Square radius, Rectangle radius, Shear, and Laser. Normal tools can be created or modified within the tool library in NC Express by selecting New, to create, or highlight tool and select Modify, to modify. If tool no longer exists this tool may be easily deleted out of the tool library by clicking Delete button when specified tool is selected. Parameters (See appendix A for all definitions of parameters in Modify Tool screen. Additional information can be found in NC Express Help documentation by pressing F1.) 2.1.1.1.1 EXERCISE- Creating Normal Tools In the following exercise two tools will be created: one square and one rectangle. Step 1: Open Tool Library Go to Settings menu | Tool library… Step 2: Create new tools, follow bullet points below: Select New… Tool ID- RECT_0.250X1.000 (5mmX25mm) Tool type- Rect Length- 1.0” (25.0mm) Width- 0.25” (5.0mm) Tool size- B Set keys/slot to 0 and 90 Index- Auto index Dies- click Add die… o Type 0.006” (0.15mm), click OK o Click Add again, Type 0.012” (0.30mm) Nibble/Punch priority- 5 Stripper Height, RAM speed, Acceleration, Punch Depth-0 o Note- setting zero for these values will use default values output in the NC program* Punch count- 1 (how many of these tools exist) Give optimizing group- REGULAR Select punching from control mechanism Click OK. Then save. *Default values for RAM Speed and Acceleration are calculated using the sheet weight (thickness * L * W). Stroke length will be output automatically based on material thickness. If these values are changed within the Tool library the values will be output in the NC program for that tool when it is used. 2-10
2.1.1.1.2 Calculation for Stroke Length Within machine parameters are values that allow for the calculation of the stroke length within the code. The two parameters are ‘Fixed Offset’ and ‘Multiplication Factor’. The multiplication factor is multiplied by the thickness of the material and then the Offset factor is added to give the final stroke length for the program. [(Stroke Length Multiplication Factor X material thickness (metric value) + Stroke Length Fixed Offset = Stroke Length] Exercise Con’t… Step 3: Reopen Tool library… Select New… Tool ID- SQ_0.500 (SQ_12.0) Tool type- Sqr Length- 0.5” (12mm) Corner radius/Design angle- 0 Tool size- B Dies- click Add die… o Type 0.006” (0.15mm), click OK. o Again click Add die, Type 0.012” (0.30mm) click OK. Nibble/Punch priority- 5 Stripper Height- 200 RAM Speed- 80* Acceleration- 80 Punch Depth- 0 Give optimizing group- REGULAR Select PUNCHING from control mechanism* Click OK. Then save. *RAM Speed is controlled from the control mechanisms list on 11 series and up machines as PUNCH_SPEED. Two values are entered for PUNCH_SPEED. 2.1.1.2 Add/Modify Special Tools Special tools can easily be created in NC Express through an easy to use dialog. Go to File menu | Add special tool. Dialog will ask which type of special tool will be added, select tool type, and then input the settings. For more intricate special tools (arbitrary), a DXF file can be used to import a special tool. A special tool is a tool that does not conform to the following regular shapes: Round, Square, Obround, Rectangle. NC Express defines more commonly used special tools in a parametric library viewable when ‘add special tool’ is selected. NC Express parametric tools are defined for 4 way radius, Banana, Dtool, Micro-joint (trapezoid), multi-radius, Tapping, wheel tools, and triangle. For all other shapes a drawing must be provided in the form of a DXF or drawn within NC Express. 2-11
