Pro/NC Figure NC.1 Pro/NC Figure NC.2 Adjustable Guide, Casting, and Machine Part OBJECTIVES • Understand the different models used in manufacturing • Merge a design part and a workpiece to create a manufacturing model • Implement machining setup elements • Understand and set manufacturing parameters • Set a tool’s parameters • Create tool paths • Run simulations of tool paths • Utilize NC Check to analyze NC sequences Pro/NC Pro/NC (Fig. NC.1 and NC.2) will create the data necessary to drive an NC machine tool to machine a Pro/E part. It does this by providing the tools to let the manufacturing engineer follow a logical sequence of steps to progress from a design model to ASCII CL data files that can be post-processed into NC machine data. The following is an overview of terms that will be used throughout this lesson. These are basic Pro/NC concepts that are vital to understanding the module. Pro/NC (Fig. NC.3) is designed to map your manufacturing intent, as captured by the NC sequence parameters, onto geometry selected from the engineering part (design model). Throughout this lesson, the appropriate settings will be described and the techniques displayed to make this mapping clear. Figure NC.3 COAch for Pro/E, Milling, Manipulating a Mill Path Design Model The Pro/E design model, representing the finished product, is used as the basis for all manufacturing operations. Features, surfaces, and edges are selected on the design model as references for each tool path. Referencing the geometry of the design model (Fig. NC.4 and Fig. NC.5) sets up an associative link between the design model and the workpiece. Because of this link, when the design model is changed, all associated manufacturing operations are updated to
