| True Shop Floor Programming for CNC Operators |
| Designed for CNC operators, CimatronE NC-Lite demands almost no NC programming experience : |
|
|
|
Self-adapting machining strategies for efficient toolpaths |
|
In-process recognition of stock allows safe toolpath generation |
|
Smooth multi-cutter toolpath without dangerous manual editing |
|
|
| |
| Solution Capabilities |
| CimatronE NC-Lite can machine 3-axis parts of any size and shape, and includes : |
|
|
|
2.5-axis operations – drill, pocket and profile |
|
3-axis milling and 2-axis positioning |
|
Effective wireframe and surfacing functions |
|
Robust standard and direct data interface |
|
Rich built-in set of manufacturing templates |
|
|
|
 |
|
| |
| Improve Communication between Shop Floor and Engineering |
| CimatronE NC-Lite can be easily operated in conjunction with CimatronE NC - smoothing communication between the shop floor and engineering without demanding extensive shop floor CAM training. For example: |
|
|
|
CimatronE NC users can complete jobs started on CimatronE NC-Lite |
|
CimatronE NC-Lite users can load files from CimatronE - including toolpaths |
|
CimatronE NC users can generate CimatronE NC-Lite toolpaths |
|
|
| |
| CimatronE NC-Lite Use Cases |
Side-by-side with CimatronE NC
A combination of CimatronE NC seats and CimatronE NC-Lite seats is ideal for medium to large NC shops that employ multiple NC users with different skill levels. With CimatronE NC-Lite, simple tasks can be done by less skilled employees, under the guidance of NC experts. |
| |
Automated 3-axis solution for specific tasks
Many specific 3-axis milling tasks can be highly automated, for example : |
|
|
|
Almost 90% of electrodes can be machined with a small set of predefined smart templates |
|
For milling of plates prior to heat treatment - rough, rerough and semi-finish can be done by CimatronE NC-Lite at the click of a button |
|
|
| |
General purpose, true shop floor solution for CNC operators
By offloading some NC programming from engineeringlevel NC programmers to the shop floor, shops save money and increase productivity. |
