CAM 2.5 axis and three axis.
00:05
After completing this lecture, you'll be able to understand C A milling and fusion.
00:10
Describe the need for a tool library,
00:12
describe tool path creation and validation and identify
00:14
key steps in the C A process.
00:17
First, what is CAM
00:19
CAM stands for computer
00:20
aided manufacturing.
00:22
Cam is a tool used to help program CNC machines to perform complex operations.
00:27
Cam can be used to program CNC mills, lathes, water jet machines,
00:31
laser and plasma cutters, 3D printers and more
00:34
C
00:34
tools are available in the manufacturing workspace in fusion.
00:39
So what is the CAM workflow
00:41
in the manufacture workspace infusion?
00:43
There are a few key elements to workflow for cam milling.
00:47
These are the basic steps required.
00:48
First, a tool library.
00:50
This is a digital library used to replicate physical tools.
00:54
Next is the setup.
00:55
These are critical properties such as which machine is
00:58
being used where the coordinate system is located.
01:00
And how big the stock is.
01:02
The tool path is the actual path A tool will take to remove material from stock
01:07
simulate will validate tool pass effective removal of material.
01:11
The NC program will compile things such as machine post processor general settings
01:16
tool pass to include as well as things like program number and comment.
01:20
A setup sheet is a document that's created to convey
01:22
information about a program such as a W CS location,
01:26
the required tools and machine time.
01:28
And the G code is the last step of the process which is our machine readable code.
01:33
This is generated by converting our tool pa and fusion
01:36
to a set of instructions for a specific machine.
01:40
The tool library is a digital representation of
01:42
physical tools that will be used to machine apart
01:45
data about the tool is stored and selected during tool pa creation
01:49
data contained in a tool library includes things
01:51
like tool type size feed rate and number.
01:55
The tool data must match a physical tool
01:57
being used to avoid potential collisions and incorrect parts
02:00
and CNC machines will reference tool numbers to retrieve tools from a tool changer.
02:05
During operation,
02:07
the setup will define a single machining orientation on AC NC machine
02:12
setups contain data about the operation type,
02:14
the machine to be used the work coordinate
02:16
system stock and general post processor settings.
02:20
A new setup will be created each time you want
02:22
to change the orientation of the part on AC NC mill
02:26
tool path creation
02:28
tool paths are routines used to define tool motion based on geometry.
02:32
A 2.5 axis tool pass generally require the selection of geometry.
02:37
This is done by directly selecting faces and contours
02:41
through axis tool pas are generally
02:42
considered model aware and only require selections
02:45
to help limit or focus a tool path on a specified area.
02:50
Tool pa settings include what a machine, how deep to cut and how to enter or exit a cut
02:56
tool, pa validation
02:58
tool
02:59
validation is critical before any program is used on AC NC. Machine
03:03
tools
03:03
can be validated by using in process stock which displays a
03:06
generated preview of the model after the tool path has been run
03:10
simulation and machine simulation are used to learn more about the tool path
03:14
simulations show if too much material has been removed.
03:17
If a collision has happened or if material has been left behind
03:21
simulations are animations that allow you to
03:23
watch a sped up version of the machining
03:27
to about documentation
03:29
tool pa documentation is the last step before setting up
03:32
and testing a set of tool pas on a machine
03:34
and see programs are containers of information about which machine to use,
03:38
which settings for that machine and which tool paths are gonna be posted.
03:41
Posting a tool pa is a method of converting the
03:44
created tool pas in cam to code a machine can understand
03:48
and setup sheets are also created from NC
03:50
programs and provide a machine operator critical setup information
03:54
to ensure things like proper stock is used.
03:56
The tools are selected properly and the orientation is correct.
04:01
In conclusion,
04:02
cam is used to create a digital tool library and tool pass to control tool,
04:06
motion to manufacture parts,
04:08
tool about definitions in cam are converted to
04:10
machine readable code for a specified machine.
04:13
Documentation is created to provide machine operators.
04:17
The instructions needed to set up a new set of tool paths.
04:20
Invalidation is used to verify tool pas before any physical parts are made.
