Successful automation assumes that the rules of a process are known and can be implemented as procedures.
The NX FBM module allows you to establish rules according to the requirements of your process and to automate your processes and shorten process times as a result.
Reduction of resources through standardisation of the CAM process
Greater process quality thanks to defined rules
Reduction in process times thanks to an established process
Partial automation option
Option for further automation using PMI (Product Manufacturing Information)
Feature-based machining is based on the fact that the system can be taught rules. These rules are applied to various geometry elements that the system can identify, according to a predefined logic.
For example, a blind hole is recognised as a threaded hole with the additional information in the form of an attribute. The rules are then searched for the appropriate procedure to be applied: associated tools are selected, actions are compiled (pre-drilling, drilling, thread cutting, grasping) and applied to the geometry found – machining is complete.
These rules are defined, adapted and maintained by internal specialists.
Influencing factors can be individually defined
Highly functional editor for rule definition
Easy to implement via teach mode
Powerful feature recognition software
Direct access to integrated tool database
Can be expanded and further customised via API interface
