Customization of UG CAM Workshop Process Documentation

The group company has applied UG CAM programming and has applied it on the shop floor. This article gives the customized customization of the UG CAM workshop process documentation and the functions that can be achieved.


I. Overview

In order to effectively complete the digital design and manufacturing tasks, the Group has introduced several sets of UG software one after another. Engineers and technicians have already applied this software technology to aerospace engines, gas turbines, subcontracted products and other computer-aided design/aided manufacturing. Fully demonstrated its powerful features and played an important role.

The UG CAM workshop process documentation is the text and graphic information that can be extracted from the part file and can be useful for the CAM. This information includes a list of tools, operations, and machining methods used in the NC program. However, the default workshop process documentation of this system cannot fully reflect the needs of customers, and some functions need to be customized. Using custom UG CAM workshop process documents will reduce many cumbersome paperwork, customize standard styles according to workshop requirements, extract text and graphic information of CAM useful to the processing workshop from part files, and output webpages in html format in Hypertext Link Language. , It can replace the current workshop CNC step card, greatly improving the work efficiency.

Second, UG CAM workshop process documentation solution

The preparation of process documentation, including process flow diagrams, operation sequence information, and tool lists, often takes a lot of time and is recognized as the largest process bottleneck. Workshop process documentation Shop/Doc can automatically generate workshop process documentation and export it in various formats. Operators, tool store workers, or other people who need to know about the information can conveniently search the shop floor process documentation online. Most of these documents are for machine tool operators provided to the production site, eliminating the hassle of manually writing craft files. At the same time, you can quickly add your own defined tool to the tool magazine for later use.

For this purpose, we went to the workshop research and workshop engineers to summarize the contents of the UG CAM workshop process documentation to be compiled. Extract the text and graphic information of the CAM useful to the shop floor from the part file according to the workshop requirements, including the list of tool parameters used in the NC program, the operation sequence, the list of machining methods, the list of cutting parameters, and the tool path verification for each operation. The graphically displayed and post-processed G code for each operation can be displayed and can only be read and cannot be modified. They can be output in either text file (.txt) or hypertext link language html formats.

By investigating the workshop, in order to meet the requirements of the digital design and manufacturing task and meet the urgent needs of the workshop, various application departments are willing to cooperate with us to solve this key problem. In addition, customized customization of UG CAM's workshop process documentation is an extension of UG CAM. Taking typical parts as an example, HTML pages are output in the hypertext link language html format to customize the easy-to-use features of the workshop technicians. Processing information query display. That is, operators, tool warehouse workers, or other people who need to know the relevant information can easily use the workshop process documentation on the Internet.

Third, UG CAM workshop process documentation development custom key

The system default workshop process documentation is complete and basically meets the requirements of users. But its expression is in English, and domestic users want to be Chinese. One of the first technologies that we need to break through is to solve the problem of the interface.

In addition, some users also require changes in the format, with the company's style. UG workshop document generator can do secondary development to meet the different requirements of users. The second technology that we need to break through is that the functions are customized according to customer needs.

In addition, there is a workshop CNC numerical control step card. In each operation, there is a machining position for this operation. This tool path is described in Chinese. Since the UG system does not recognize Chinese, it is difficult to describe it in the UG CAM operation. We need to The third breakthrough technology is to solve the problem that Chinese characters cannot be input in UG. After the workshop process documents are exported to the customized workshop process documents, we enter the machining part of operation to describe the path of the tool path in Chinese, and then save it and submit it to The workshop user is the workshop process document that made the secondary treatment.

Fourth, UG CAM workshop process documentation development and customization

Based on the functions of the UGNX2 CAM's own workshop process documentation, the Tcl language is used to customize the application template files in the \MACHesource\shop_doc folder under the UG installation directory. Customize mill_html_index.tpl first. Gradually find the customized template files so as to achieve the required functions and realize the development and customization of the UG CAM workshop process documentation.

Five, UG CAM workshop process documentation application examples

5.2.2 Signature Features

Click on the signature button, then enter the programmer, proofreading, auditing, workshop, factory, personal home page, click the Save button, as shown in Figure 4.

Click the clip description button, enter the correct fixture, correct the part of the tool, click the save button, as shown in Figure 5.

Figure 5

5.2.4 Function of Tool List

When the tool list button is clicked, a list of tool parameters used by the entire part part in UG CAM machining is displayed, and the tool name, tool description, tool radius, tool length, tool type, and tool compensation register of each used tool are listed in detail. No., tool radius and other parameters, and count the number of tools used. See Figure 6 for details

4.2.5 Function of Cutting Parameters

Click on the cutting parameter button to display the list of cutting parameters of the NC machining program used during the UG CAM processing of the part part. The operation name, the name of the tool used, the size of the cutting angle, and the radius of the tool radius used are listed in detail. Blank allowance, inner tolerance/external tolerance, detailed feedrate value, each operation knife map, each operation is displayed with G code. See Figure 7 for details.

After outputting the customized workshop process documentation, the function of the cover allows us to input the part number, version number, part name, signature function allows us to enter the programmer, proofreading, auditing, workshop, factory, personal homepage, the function of the clamping instructions allows us to Enter the correct fixtures in turn, correct the part tool contents, and the cutting parameters function. Click on each Operation tool map to allow us to enter the description text to describe the path of the tool path. After saving, the Save button disappears and the user submitting to the shop floor is a workshop process document that has been reprocessed. This solves the problem that UG cannot input Chinese.

Sixth, concluding remarks

Using custom UG CAM workshop process documents will reduce many cumbersome paperwork, customize standard styles according to workshop requirements, extract text and graphic information of CAM useful to the processing workshop from part files, and output webpages in html format in Hypertext Link Language. , It can replace the current workshop CNC step card, greatly improving the work efficiency.

In Terex truck brake system the brake chamber plays a vital role in the safety of a truck. Our Brake Chambers convert the energy of compressed air into mechanical force and motion. Through the brake chamber's connection to a slack adjuster and then to a brake camshaft, this force and motion actuates the brake camshaft. The camshaft is twisted between the brake shoes, separating them to creacte friction inside the air brake drum. This friction causes the wheel to slow and stop the wheel and the vehicle.
