Tool Visualization
Process by Process
By far the fastest way to verify the programs do not have ‘basic’ programming errors would be to ‘see’ what has been programmed. ONGAA CAM now shows a reasonable representation of the tool in is starting position. The tool dimensions are taken from the Tool Database and are shown with the programmed compensation, depth (or through depth). This will help in ensuring tool compensations are correct as well as showing potentially unexpected interference with other areas of the part.
Tools that are incorrectly identified appear as red tools of a standard diameter where as all recognized tools appear as green.
V Drill, V Route, V Pocket, V Saw, H Drill are all supported.
Full simulation
Once all the processes have been defined, a simulation of all machining is available.
