 Velocity Series Manufacturing Program Delivers Application-Specific NC Programming for the Latest Machine Tools

PLANO, Texas Plano (IPA: /ˈpleɪnoʊ/) is a wealthy suburb of Dallas, Texas, located to the north, mainly within Collin County, but also extending into Denton County. According to the 2000 U.S.  -- UGS Corp., a leading global provider of product lifecycle Product lifecycle or product life cycle is the course of a product's sales and profits over time. The five stages of each product lifecycle are product development, introduction, growth, maturity and decline.  management (PLM (Product Life cycle Management) A comprehensive information system that coordinates all aspects of a product from initial concept to its eventual retirement. Sometimes called the "digital backbone" of a product, it includes the requirements phase, analysis and design ) software and services, today announced the NX[R] CAM Express "Delivering Machine Tool Value" program, which provides application-specific CAM software to small and medium sized businesses (SMB (1) (Small to Medium-sized Business) Also called "SME" (small to medium-sized enterprise), it refers to companies that are larger than the small office/home office (SOHO), but not huge. ) manufacturers with new machine tools.

 (NC) programming application, is the CAM component of the UGS Velocity Series(TM) portfolio.

The program emphasizes the role of a comprehensive CAM system in supporting the latest machine tool technology. Investments in new advanced machine tool technology typically generate immediate returns on investment (ROI (Return On Investment) The monetary benefits derived from having spent money on developing or revising a system. In the IT world, there are more ways to compute ROI than Carter has liver pills (and for those of you who never heard of that expression, it means a lot). ) for manufacturers. UGS is working along side machine tool vendors to provide an effective CAM system that supports the full capability of the latest advanced machines. This collaboration enables UGS to provide a CAM system that supports the latest machines along with post processing, controller options and machine configurations as well as joint customer support to help customers reach their highest productivity.

"Our machine tool customers purchase the latest technology in machine tools in order to gain the efficiencies that drive bottom line profits," said Tom Glisczinski, president, Applied CIM (1) (Computer-Integrated Manufacturing) Integrating office/accounting functions with automated factory systems. Point of sale, billing, machine tool scheduling and supply ordering are part of CIM.  (UGS partner). "These efficiencies are realized by process optimization Process optimization is the practice of making changes or adjustments to a process, to get results.

Optimization is the use of specific techniques to determine the most cost effective and efficient solution to a problem or design for a process.
, NC Programming and knowledgeable vendor support. We view NX CAM Express from UGS as the most capable and comprehensive system offering for our customers to complete their machine tool investments."

The "Delivering Machine Tool Value" program focuses on helping manufacturers derive more value from their machine tools by increasing utilization and optimization for the technological features for which they were purchased. This is important to key machining industries, including:

* In the mold and die industry, high speed machines are the driving technology. An investment in high speed milling machines demands NC programs that are able to drive the new machines effectively. NX CAM Express has the capability to efficiently program and optimize high speed roughing, re-roughing, and finishing.

* In the production machining industry, multi-function turning centers and mill-turns dramatically reduce cycle times when properly utilized. These highly capable and multi-faceted machines require process planning and programming over the full spectrum of milling and turning. NX CAM Express provides the synchronization (1) See synchronous and synchronous transmission.

(2) Ensuring that two sets of data are always the same. See data synchronization.

(3) Keeping time-of-day clocks in two devices set to the same time. See NTP.
 and simulation designed specifically for these machines.

* In the machining of complex parts, 5-axis machinery is the key to manufacturing complex geometry In mathematics, complex geometry is the study of complex manifolds and functions of many complex variables.  cases. From aero structures to turbo machinery to medical applications, 5-axis machines are the key to set-up reduction and efficient machining complex parts. NX CAM Express provides highly capable 5-axis NC programming designed to optimize around this technology.

NX CAM Express has the in-depth capabilities to address the programming requirements of these advanced, more productive machines. As part of the Velocity Series portfolio, it is focused on ease of use, fast deployment and scalability so users can take advantage of its capabilities quickly and easily as their needs demand.
