In the Shop Floor Editor all CAM functions are available for edit: Milling, Turning, Mill-Turn, iMachining., and post-processing. Instead of receiving just G-code, the machine operator of the sub-contractor can receive the CAM part, check, do minor changes and simulate the process, before machining – thus understanding it better or making edits if needed. SolidCAM is used by a company who “outsources” their machining to a sub-contractor. The CAM programmer is new to machining or has less experience than the Machine operator - the Shop Floor editor gives shop-floor personnel the flexibility to make minor changes, more suited to a specific application and CNC machine. He opens the CAM Part, opens the operation from the tree, changes the step-over parameter, re-calculates, simulates the new changes, and outputs a new G-code. increase or decrease the step-over for a pocket. The operator wishes to make a minor change e.g. The Machine Operator is working on a different shift from the CAM programmer or the CAM programmer is not available to make changes. change step down or change the tool speeds and feeds, re-calculate the operation, check the simulation, post-process the new G-code, right by the CNC machine.
CNC SIMULATOR FORUM FULL
This Editor gives shop-floor people full control to edit programs and operations e.g. The “ Shop Floor Editor” is designed to be used on the shop floor, to enable editing of programs created by the SolidCAM programmers it does not allow geometry changes. SolidCAM offers the “ Shop Floor Editor” version, that enables the machine operator to Open existing CAM parts, Edit them, if needed, Simulate them, and Re- Generate G-code for the CNC machine.
