Identifying the key location features
The first part in this process requires a probe path. This can be created offline before the components are ready for machining. The probe path defines a series of points to locate on the model.
Locating the part
Once the part has been approximately aligned on the machine tool (using a simple jig) the inspection probe can be mounted in the CNC machine.
The probe path can be run on the machine control to physically check the parts alignment relative to the CAD data.
Aligning the part
Once the probing cycle has completed, Delcam Fixture displays the nominal alignment then generates a datum shift in the tape file, aligning the part to the CAD data.
Saving you time and money!
The part can now be machined correctly aligned to the stock material. The process taking a fraction of the time compared with traditional methods.
