“CAM-TOOL Prime+”｜CAM system that can create NC data with easy operation (Part 2)

21/07/2020

CGS ASIA CO., LTD.

CAM-TOOL Prime+ is a packaged product of "CAM-TOOL Prime" which is a middle range specification for molds with surface modeler integrated type, equipped with the “CAM-TOOL Easy & Smart” option, that allows "anyone" to create high-precision NC data “quickly” “with ease of operation.” In this article, we would like to introduce the features of CAM-TOOL Prime+, focusing on on-site case studies.

Case 1: CAM-TOOL Prime+ application example in resin mold

Based on the 3D data of the molded product from a customer, the mold design is worked on, and as a result of the discussion between the departments, the subject 3D shape is passed to the CAM section.

The possession rate of own CAD/CAM/M/C varies depending on the scale of a company, but many of them seem to have fewer CAM systems than the number of design systems and M/C. This stagnation of work in the CAM section also reduces the machine utilization rate of the factory.

CAM-TOOL Prime+ is also effective for electrode processing that can be processed with a relatively standard pattern and pre-baking processing for raw materials. This will reduce the workload on the CAM operators.

As a result, the work stagnation in the CAM section, which has become a bottleneck, is eliminated, and the work can be performed without burdening each section, improving the work efficiency of the entire flow.

Case 2: Working with 1 CAM system-1 NC simulator-1 M/C

Further attention on the process shows that often cases with “NC simulator” are installed next to M/C in the factory.

NC data without interference can be processed as it is, but those that are not will be returned to the CAM section once; which not only causes stagnation time for M/C but also the work of the CAM operators to be interrupted.

In addition, from the management's point of view, annual maintenance contract costs are incurred for two systems, CAM systems and NC simulators. Further, they require simulation suitable for the machine, and the more NC simulators there are, the more maintenance contract costs will be for M/C.

The CAM-TOOL series optimizes efficient and safe cutter paths such as air cut deletion and automatic clearance. It also has a function to automatically adjust the feed speed according to the cutting load. This allows the NC data outputted to be processed "safely", "with less tool load" and "stable with the shortest tool overhang length".

Furthermore, since the best NC data suitable for the machine is outputted by one unit, the maintenance contract cost for the NC simulator can be suppressed and the running cost is expected to be greatly reduced.

Proposal of CAM-TOOL Prime+ under the Corona peril, “that can be done because of CGS ASIA.”

We at CGS ASIA put an emphasis on "technical proposals" from the proposal of handling products to post-sales support after installation while we carry out our daily activities.

For inquiries regarding this matter, in order for you to consider the products well, we have prepared a system where you can look at the actual product in operations and test processing which are closer to use in the actual site. This is due to the system features that are slightly different from the conventional system.

STEP1: Inquiries from customers and trading companies about CAM-TOOL Prime+
If you can send us information (shape model, processing conditions, etc.) at this stage, we can create a processing template in advance.

STEP2: Report the verification result as a report
We will report the result on how many clicks were needed to output NC data. In addition, we will also report if there are areas that can be improved at the current stage.

STEP3: Demonstration of processing at customer’s facility and equipment
Please do comparisons with the existing system and do trouble shootings whenever necessary.

STEP4: Quotation
Although the uncertainty of the situation due to the Corona peril continues, it would be our pleasure if we can be of any help to the ASEAN mold industry through CAM/CAM.
