Info

o Allowed nest rotation: Part degree rotation allowed while nesting (0/180, 90/270). Information frame: Items listed in this frame are displayed after the part has been tooled and saved. o Turret: Shows the current turret information. o Sorting device: Shows the sorting device information. Material frame: o Code: Allows you to select the material type for the part. o Thickness: Allows you to select the material thickness for the part. o Die clearance: Lower and Upper limit of die clearance of punching tools that can be used for the selected material. NC Express uses and shows only tools that have a die clearance that falls between the lower and upper die limits set here. o Update materials button: Clicking this will open a dialog box allowing you to add or delete material from the database. (See picture below) Current materials list box: Shows list of current materials in the database. Delete button: Deletes current selected material from the material database. When you delete a material, it must not be active in the Environment. If it is, a message box will be displayed telling you that the current material cannot be deleted from the database. Material name: Allows you to enter a new material code. Thickness: Allows you to enter a new material thickness. Add button: Adds the material you entered, into the database. Settings (Autotool, nesting, etc…) for material that is currently selected in current materials list will be copied to the newly added material. (*Note – After adding a new material, to change the Die Clearance for that material, type in the values in the Die Clearance text boxes that will be used and click the OK button on the New Part dialog) 4-36
Note: Allows you to type in information about the part for later use or output into a report. Alias: Regular part name. Used for Super Part reporting. Revision value: Revision number of the part. Quantity: Number of regular parts. Used for Super Part reporting. Step 2: Click the OK button. The NC Express screen will now be blank. You are ready to create a new part. (*Note – Part properties for a part that were set in the New Part dialog can be viewed by going to Settings menu | Properties. Ex. If a part was created and part properties were set for that part, when you open the part in NC Express, you are able to view the properties from the Settings menu | Properties.) 4.3.2 Importing a DXF from Flat If the part you are going to use exists as a DXF file and you want to modify or create a cp file from the DXF, you will have to import the DXF from the folder where it is stored. In NC Express, under C:\fms\ncexpress directory, there is a folder called ‘geomdir’. The ‘geomdir’ folder is the default location for DXF files. The default DXF directory will automatically change to the last directory where a DXF file was imported. The following exercises will demonstrate how to import a DXF into NC Express. 4.3.2.1 EXERCISE- Import DXF 2 Step 1: Go to File menu | Import or click on the Import DXF button on the toolbar . Both of these options will bring you to the Open dialog box with the ‘geomdir’ folder. If the DXF is not located in the ‘geomdir’, navigate to where the DXF is located on your <strong>machine</strong> or on a network. Step 2: Once you have found the DXF, click on it and click the Open button in the dialog box. The DXF should now be displayed on the screen. (*Note – If there are other layers (numbers, letters, or other characters) on the DXF, they will be disposed of later when Autotooled, leaving only the part geometry). In the case where a DXF file is being imported from the flat, NC Express will import all layers of the DXF file. It is important that all part geometry (internal & external contours) is on it’s own separate layer(s) when doing this. All unwanted layers (ex. Dimensions) can be filtered out of the file when Autotooling the part. Picture below shows a part that would be imported with many different layers within. 4-37
