5 axis

hi,

I got a quick question on 5 axis

I could not see any simultaneous five axis movement while we do play path
(I mean spindle and table rotate at same time)

What to do for that, or else we need to control it while doing posting?

Thanks in advance

pro/nc will only simulate the tool moving.


If you wish to view the bed moving you will require a full license of vericut.
 
If you can't / don't want to pony up BIG TIME for the Vericut option.

Provided you are on enslavment. WF4 will provide the functionality you are looking for. Read up on the whats new with WF4 regarding manufacturing.

Machine simulation is now do-able (it always was) via ProE. However, dealing with it and setting it up are going to be much more friendly (my understanding anyway).

Best regards,
Sean
 
machine simulation was not do-able in earlier builds.


WF4 enables you to program in mechanisms and run the tool path which will drive these joints.

This is ripped from a PRE WF4 doc I have here on my box.

WelcomeThis tutorial is going to show you how to use Pro|ENGINEER Mechanism animation to do a 3 axis milling machine simulation.

This tutorial will only show how to use an already build mechanism describing a 3 axis milling machine (HAAS or FADAL for example) with XY motion on the table and Z motion on the tool.

In this tutorial you will learn how to

Setup your NC toolpath to use it on the machine simulation
Use the post-processor provided with the machine to generate the data for the mechanism drivers
Pro|ENGINEER Mechanism Setup
Load the manufacturing models and the tool in your mechanism
Setup the drivers for the mechanism
Play the simulation

Hi all,
Thanks for the replys

So my doubt is, while we do actual machining,the CNC machine will move or not?

How we can know any mistake will happen or not?
Is A/B/C out put control by Posting?

Regards

Leow
