In general, software programming requires engineers to save the residual blanks of each process and import them into other processes, and perform manual alignment. For complex parts and multi-station parts processing, it will spend a lot of programming time and the operation process is also very tedious, which greatly reduces the work efficiency.
CNC machining is widely used in the production process of parts, and many complex parts are completed on the 5-axis machining center. However, many factories need to process on 3-axis vertical equipment due to their own conditions and parts processing conditions, so complex parts can not be completely processed through a single clamping in actual production, and it requires multiple angles to turn the workpiece and use multiple processing procedures to process it. In general, software programming requires engineers to save the residual blanks of each process and import them into other processes, and perform manual alignment. For complex parts and multi-station parts processing, it will spend a lot of programming time and the operation process is also very tedious, which greatly reduces the work efficiency.
Hexagon Industrial Software ESPRIT EDGE is a high-performance CAM system for CNC programming, optimization and simulation that supports all types of CNC machine tools through a common user interface and workflow. ESPRIT EDGE provides powerful solutions for quickly configuring multi-step machining. Users only need to define a reasonable clamping scheme in ESPRIT EDGE, and the software will automatically inherit all the prefab residue blank and can be applied to the subsequent tool path reference calculation and simulation verification, which can greatly improve the user experience and enable users to quickly process parts. Hexagon's ESPRIT EDGE can also concentrate multiple processing processes of complex parts in one workbench, and the machine tool can complete all the multiple processes of the parts in one clamping, greatly improving the utilization rate of the machine tool, greatly saving labor costs and time, and ensuring the stability and processing quality of the parts. During the entire machining process, the software can automatically avoid the jig and automatically lift the tool to a safe machining height to avoid tool collision and ensure the safe and efficient operation of the machining equipment.
Next, we use Hexagon industrial software EPSRIT EDGE to demonstrate the powerful function of multi-station processing for fans.
