  6. Product overview • ICAMoffers advanced solutions for: • Post-Processing • Machine simulation • Dedicated solution • Development platform • CAM-POST- First in class post-processor solution for all machining types and all major CAD-CAM-PLM systems • Virtual Machine (VM)-Innovative extension to CAM-POST offering visual post-processing • Control Emulator (CE)- To simulate machine behaviour based on MCD • SIEMENS SINUMERIK 840D- Technical Competency, Custom Post-Processors and VNCK simulation

  7. What is Post-processing? Post-processingis the bridge between the CAD/CAM System andCNC machine ? CAD/CAM System Post Processing CNC Machine

  8. MCD Errorsreport User interpretation!? Toolpath / machine Simulation What to modify? Which functions? Regular manufacturing process CAD/CAM Post-Processor

  9. Post-Processor Machine Simulation CAD/CAM CAD/CAM Comparing Manufacturing Processes Regular manufacturing process Many modifications are required User interpretation!? Tool path programming Machine Simulation CAM mod Machine Simulation Machining Post Post Many times Time ICAM optimized manufacturing process Machine Simul Smart Post Less modifications are required Tool path programming toolpath toolpath toolpath Part Machining … Machine Simulation

CAM-POST post-processor CAD/CAM With dynamic VM simulation Less modifications are required

  11. CAM-POST V17 Global Post-Processing Optimize your investment CAM system interface kits Common post-processors independent of the CAD/CAM system

  12. For all CNC machines • Milling 2-5+ axes • Lathe 2-4 axes • Mill/Turn 3-5+ axes • Wire EDM 4-5 axes • Cutting: Water Jet, Laser, Flame • Punch/Laser For all machine types!

  13. Why choose CAM-POST • Powerful post-processor & machine simulation development platform • Efficient dedicated post-processors & machine simulation to interface your different CAD-CAM-PLM systems to all your CNC machines • optimizes tool paths • reduces iterations before production • Reduces risk of damaging your machine • Save your CNC machine tool investment

  14. CAM-POST advanced optimization features • RTCP, hybrid and non RTCP • Pre-positioning of the axis • Path planning to avoid overtravel and dwells • Re-orientation of singular rotary axis • Rotary Turn Around • Winding of axes • Feed adjustment based on tool length • Removal of head-dancing • And more…

  15. Why use ICAM Graphic Post-processing? • Based on 35 years of industry experience • Advanced path planning • Offers to combine machine simulation while post processing • Can combine interaction from machine simulation to post-processor behavior • Usable for all major CAD/CAM systems • Effective production tool (dedicated solutions as well as development platform) to optimize your manufacturing interfacing your different CAM systems to all your CNC machines • Optimizes tool paths • Reduces iterations before production • Reduces the manufacturing process • Reduces risk of damaging your machine
