The solution that uses at CAD/CAM -- pursue to the shortcut that can assemble cast 1: Zapp company is with production process by right of efficient design in competition held technology of CAD/CAM of have the aid of of company of lead position Zapp be able to more agile apace produces flange: SolidEdge was used in side of software of 3 dimension CAD, and was aimed at numerical control program to use EdgeCAM system in CAE respect. A lot of enterprises boast he were had " example changes " feature, so the works that lets us see Zapp flange create limited company, with respect to the tide that can discover modern field. This company has phyletic and various machine tool, use at the band saw of type of combustion of numerical control plasma of semi-manufactured goods of mincing stainless steel for instance, cut with Yu Xi, auger cut and the machining center of new-style high speed that turning machines. This automation tide of Zapp company makes its can begin professional work with 150000 batch, in order to satisfy market demand. The flange product of this company (graph 1) in price respect highly competitive, main profit from is designed efficiently and produce. In the meantime, zapp company still expanded product and the program of production respect, can machine such as to contain thereby " nose " flange is not circumgyrate semmetry spare parts this kind. Additional, of flange product change speed also is accelerated apparently. The machine of Zapp company processing technique manager Mr Wolfgang Tiede (graph 2) say: "The ply that often asks to differ in chemical industry for instance and nominal pressure. We must disentomb ceaselessly the latent capacity of technology and craft respect, offer money time through raising the flexibility of oneself to shorten. " in other words, if use flange program of the standard in the automation that is not numerical control to get,cut a machine tool to go up, the circumgyrate spare parts of so loose clamp no longer take time is arduous. Graph 2: The technology of processing sector of Zapp fair driver is in charge of Mr Wolfgang Tiede to say: "... will ensure through taller flexibility shorter working hours. " Zapp company takes machine treatment seriously particularly, the cutting tool that when undertaking machining to die especially, uses and numerical control program. Because die will bear greater stress (graph 3) , and the size of stress basically depends on the size of the spare parts and geometrical appearance, because this is being finished 100 to 2000 v journey hind must change, this is right also turning / milling treatment raises new requirement ceaselessly. Machine processing sector runs those who be in charge of numerical control lathe (the product that includes Okuma, Okuma-Howa and Emag company, graph 4) . Mr Tiede says: "We must be designed ceaselessly, production die. " be in subsequently inside the drilling machine of high speed numerical control that Allzmetall and Elha firm use even in the treatment of aperture and whorl aperture. The EdgeCAM of three-in-one pursues 3: It is seductive that the first time of treatment Zapp company that because greater stress ensures,die can finish high quality machines the experience that introduces numerical control machine tool for die. The Usus of process designing tool in EdgeCAM is being used in the modern program that this company decides to planning level and course of numerical control process designing in the light of production, undertake 3 dimension build a model. This software can is at the same time in milling treatment 2 offer turning and car to 5 axes - the function that mill machines (graph 5) , can support the 3 milling to 5 axes in the case of Zapp company so or the 2 turning to 4 axes. Such advantage depends on: The process designing system of the 3 acting different types that EdgeCAM can use before supportive Zapp company, and can be not had seam SolidEdge of integrated such as such CAD system. General manager assistant Mr Dirk Vocke that relies on ceaseless conformity to realize automation Zapp company says: "After using different CAM system, our seek obtains a kind can the software that machine tool of integrated and all type undertakes process designing, the target should realize fast process designing namely. And so far we are confident to achieving such goals, because use EdgeCAM system to be able to help us achieve this one goal, this is us those who long for day and night is efficient system. " fall in the case that need not make numerical control program, edgeCAM system still can generate the contrail of cutting tool directly. This also means a need to read access to occupy from inside CAD system directly, and need not write additional numerical control program for many component, because this also can reduce cost substantially. Can be in directly after be changed every time especially true condition falls or date from undertakes in SolidEdge format data. Among them the process designing personnel that a main reason is Zapp company already accepted EdgeCAM system. "Of this system learn a gender easily simply to make them very satisfactory " , mr Vocke confirms, the EdgeCAM that at the same time he still is in charge of pair of Germany, Austria and Swiss area sells associate to undertake conformity, "Shorter reaction time, more essence of life is accurate practical solution, good groom, seek advice to support with the hotline, each part of solution of a complete set of can keep consistent each other. " graph 4: System of vintage process designing also got making full use of is on the numerical control machine tool that Zapp company has necessary flexible with additional production efficiency promotes, zapp flange company still is opposite aftertreatment program is carried out match. Actually, the machine tool that because use different sort,cannot underestimate quite and the influencing factor that control system brings. The aftertreatment with EdgeCAM accessary system assists a program to make an user OK come according to oneself demand custom-built and unique aftertreatment program. At present the popular control system on market already all was gotten the support of EdgeCAM system. The user needs to operate a mouse to be able to complete two pairs program only or machine tool program circulates debug. What mouse operation points to is: The simulator with accessary EdgeCAM can be in the machine tool imitating test of all types the collision monitoring that offers trends to process of 5 axes treatment and machine tool contrail are optimized (graph 6) . And the emulation picture lieutenant general that machining a process contains the element such as cutting tool, clamping apparatus and machine tool. The cutting tool service life that industry already improved and descendent machine tool used time to had undertaken the program changes processing. The advantage that casts die pursues 5: Modern solution: Undertake to the machine tool in EdgeCAM system imitate pursues 6: The simulator of EdgeCAM system can generate true picture to promote the latent capacity of the respect to search new manufacturing efficiency in the light of treatment process, the process in planning stage to production and the analysis that the machine tool undertakes have very important sense. Be in Zapp company, cast die to stay in discussion phase not just. The batch quality that means of this kind of treatment can ensure the ─ of mechanical function ─ that waits for treatment flange has good form, stability on one hand and higher laden capability. Mr Wolfgang Tiede considers cast die to be able to process the 240 raw material to 400 tons everyday, say: "From on the other hand for, cast die to have very outstanding economy advantage. With groovy treatment methodological photograph is compared, can reduce raw material substantially use up. Accordingly, the cost of cutting treatment respect is relative also lower. " treatment weight amounts to 130 kilograms, the diameter amounts to what the wool blank of 670 millimeter casts die to shape the principle is as follows: Blow mould bottom uses weight to be in commonly 0. 8 kilograms come inside 130 kilograms of limits, the passes heat treatment wool blank that the biggest diameter amounts to 670 millimeter. Upper mould from be located in workpiece upper part to undertake punch downward, form the appearance of the design. Finishing the follow-up craft that after casting treatment, company of ─ ─ Zapp arranged all sorts of differring, include: Hydraulic pressure, pneumatic, on pressure and the hammer of reactive type is attacked and purify burr is handled. Because die used thermal stability to higher steel products is made between cavity and be become, its appearance and wait for treatment spare parts to be able to keep consistent. CNC Milling
