Advanced preparation of the nc programs with usage of strategy manager

Abstract

The article deals with the possibilities of automate creation of NC programs by using the NC strategies in CAD/CAM system Edgecam 2017 R2. Emphasis is placed on the suitability of use, the limitation of the creation, and application of the NC strategies. The experiments deal with the comparison of effectiveness of the NC strategies applied especially to the components with different geometric features. The results obtained allow determining the applicability of experimental NC strategies in the process of NC programs preparation. The motivation for this type of research is a gap between levels of automation in fields of machining and pre-production stages. The research is focused on current possibilities of increasing efficiency of the machining processes creation by its automation in CAD/CAM system Edgecam.
