Machining Centers & Cells
a patented 9-kW UAM welding head that additively manu- factures solid metal parts by welding 1" (25.4-mm) strips of metal ranging from 0.002 to 0.020" (0.05–0.51-mm) thick together at 200 ipm (5 m/min). Alloys including high- strength aluminum, stainless steel, and titanium can be combined to form sandwiches of metals for rapid prototyp- ing, metal matrix composite workpieces and other applica- tions. Fabrisonic’s custom G-code CAM software automates the CAD-to-part process. When CAD geometry is imported into the SonicCAM, the software generates the toolpath for both welding and machining.
Universal Post Processor for CAM Output in Mori-APT DMG / Mori Seiki (Hoffman Estates, IL) is releasing a Mori-APT toolpath-based postprocess to allow machine tools to be put into service as soon as the machine lands on the shop floor. Traditionally, customers are required to purchase machine tools and CAM/postprocessing software from dif- ferent vendors, possibly leading to discrepancies in quality,
thoroughness and timely delivery. Part of a powerful suite of applications called Manufacturing Suite, this universal postprocessor will be available for all Mori Seiki machines and will work with any CAM software that outputs toolpaths in Mori-APT standardized format.
Customers can continue to use multiple CAM software so- lutions in conjunction with Manufacturing Suite Post Proces- sor to generate NC code, avoiding the need to obtain post- processors for individual CAM software and with the added benefit of a single support contact.
The Mori-APT toolpath format is an extension of APT
CLDATA standard (based on ANSI NCITS 37-1999 and ISO 4343:2000). The Manufacturing Suite Post Processor can import the standardized toolpath from any CAM software and generate NC code using the proven DMG / Mori Seiki post templates. For the process to work, customers need to acquire the Mori-APT CLDATA interface-enabled version of the CAM software from their respective CAM vendors and acquire the Manufacturing Suite Post Processor software from DMG / Mori Seiki. Interfaces to output Mori-APT CLDATA are avail- able or in development. ME
