Optimization of machining processes preparation with usage of Strategy Manager

Abstract

At present, the optimization has an important role in machining processes preparation of NC programs. The article deals with the possibilities of automate creation of NC programs by using the NC strategies in CAD/CAM system Edgecam 2017 R2. The main emphasis is placed on the suitability of use, the limitation of the creation and application of the NC strategies. The experiments deal with the comparison of effectiveness of the NC strategies applied to the components with different geometric features. The experimental components are divided into two groups. First group is represented by components with 2D features. Second group is based on components with 3D features. The motivation for this type of research is to increasing efficiency of the machining processes creation by automation tools in CAD/CAM systems.
