SUMMARY:Revolutionize Your CNC Programming
DESCRIPTION:Join us at our Advanced Technology Center for an in-person exclusive demonstration event designed to showcase the transformative power of Model-Based Definition (MBD) in CNC programming. Discover how MBD can significantly reduce the time and effort required to produce high-quality CNC programs. \nDetails\nPrincipal Engineer Nasir Mannan and our technical team will demonstrate advanced strategies in Siemens NX CAM for generating CNC programs tailored to specific feature tolerances. You’ll learn how to post these programs for a Sinumerik control and utilize tools like the ThirdWave Production Module to reduce cutting force spikes and optimize cycle times. \nWe’ll introduce Distortio\, a tool for minimizing vibration and chatter during CNC machining\, and showcase a comparative analysis of dimensional inspection results between a conventionally programmed and machined airfoil versus one produced through a model-based workflow. This will highlight differences in programming time and part quality\, culminating in a live demonstration on the TRAK VMC10si 4-axis CNC machine. \nThe session will also explore the value of the digital twin\, demonstrating how real-time data collected via an edge device during the manufacturing process can be used for corrective action control\, reducing production variability in real time. \nThis event provides a comprehensive overview of advanced CNC machining strategies\, cutting-edge tools\, and technologies to enhance manufacturing efficiency and product quality. Attendees will experience live demonstrations and practical insights into optimizing their processes. \nThere will be a break for complimentary lunch and networking. \nREGISTER ONLINE
