NX CAM is the most extensively developed 5 (variable) axis NC programming system available. Based on years of experience with customers in aerospace and related industries, NX CAM offers efficient, flexible and accurate 5 axis machining. It supports a range of methods for defining precisely controlled tool paths on complex surfaces, with effective collision and gouge checking.
5-axis milling in NX CAM includes multiple drive methods with a wide range of tool axis control options. 5-axis surface contouring and a set of tool axis interpolation options allow 5-axis machining on the most demanding of parts.
NX enables fast, accurate roughing and finishing of complex parts such as those typical in the aerospace industry. Geometry selection, such as multiple pocket and walls is highly automated for easier, and much faster programming.
Automatic variable-axis profiling speeds programming. NX CAM offers a range of automated tool position and tool axis control for 5-axis cutting along walls and other profiles. Machining toolpaths can follow pocket floors, wall edges or offset drive surfaces.
Curvature matching is new technology that constantly varies the tool angle relative to the stock surface to maximize the tool contact area. This allows you to remove more material with fewer passes for a given tool diameter.
NX CAM machine tool simulation provides 5-axis programmers with the essential tools for proving out their machine motion. It offers full 3D motion of the machine tool within its limits, driven by the post processed G-code.
