Automated multi-axis programming

Automated multi-axis programming

NCCS' NCL multi-axis machining software for the aerospace, automotive and turbomachinery industry, has been boosted with the addition of special features for aerospace and turbomachinery components that automate its simultaneous 5-axis machining process. NCCS has updated its special Application Libraries, which include features that address the unique manufacturing requirements of aerospace and turbomachinery components. * NCL/AAL, NCCS’ Aerospace Application Library, includes dozens of commands for creating tooling and tool paths that are common to the manufacturing of complex structural aerospace parts. The collection of macros offer user-controlled entry and exit techniques for contouring tool paths, resulting in faster machining and improved efficiency. * NCL/TAL, NCCS’ Turbomachinery Application Library, provides capabilities to automate the NC programming of impellers, inducers, and aerofoils. Users can generate tool paths quickly for multiple applications including rough machining, hub machining, finish machining, and leading/trailing edge machining, allowing faster and more accurate programming of complex parts.
