Info

Enabling: Clamp Protection- displays protection zone for active tool. Allows <strong>user</strong> to view if tool hits will be in clamp zone. Zoom Follow- allows center of screen to act as the location of the center of the tool. The nested sheet will move around on the screen to actually view the movement of the sheet at the <strong>machine</strong>. This is good to view any type of movement near or around the clamps. This option is only available to select when the simulator is stopped. Track Tool List- allows a marker to track down the list of tools and X and Y coordinates. Tools will be expanded when active all others will be minimized. 7.2 Simulating Desired Tools (Tool List) Within the list on the right side of the screen all tooling is displayed. Each zone and tool package will be displayed. Each zone and tool package can be expanded to view single hits. Within this list a selected group of tools can be simulated to verify the correct order or tool path has been chosen. To do this follow the steps below: STEP 1: Select the first tools X and Y coordinate in the list to that requires simulation STEP 2: Right click on the X and Y coordinate and then click ‘start’ STEP 3: Scroll down to the last tool needing simulation and then select and right click then select ‘end’ STEP 4: Click to start the simulation of the selected group of tools. NOTE- when you right click within the tool list ‘clear’ allows you to clear the selected tools. 7-114
8 POST PROCESSING (Create NC Code) The final stage of processing sheets within NC Express is Post Processing. Once the steps of tooling a part, nesting, and optimization have been done the optimized sheet is then ready to be simulated and Post Processed. The following section will inform how to simulate the actions of tools throughout a plate and create NC code. When the NC code is created report files are created as well. 8.1 Create NC Code 100001.opm is ready to create code. With the optimized plate on the screen press on the toolbar. Post processing dialog will appear. Within the dialog, the NC file name and the location where the file will be saved is shown. The NC file name and location can be changed within this dialog. Once the NC file name is changed the fms file and report document are also changed to the name entered. 8.1.1 Modifying NC file name and Location Through the Post Processing dialog the NC Code and related files can be output to any selected location, as well as modifying the name of the files. Screen shot on the previous page shows the NC file name that has been changed to the actual part name as well as the fms file and report being output. The location was also changed to a directory that was created specifically for NC file output. Within the chosen directory is where the NC code, fms file (optional), and report document (optional) are output. To change the location and name the steps below will show how to apply this within NC Express. Step 1: Open Post Process dialog by clicking on or going to Process menu and selecting NC. Step 2: Click Save as button next to ‘Save NC file to different location’. 8-115
