What’s New in NX 6 CAMMilling



2.5d Pattern – Corner Rounding

Corner rounding revamped. Consistent results. User specifies one radius value. Corners automatically reduced when

needed. S Connections Left-over passes when gap is more

than 100% tool flat diameter. Inward passes with corner start

points avoid step-over moves.



2.5d Pattern – First Cut Feed Rate

Consistent results. Turn on first cut feed rate and set a

different color to view the changes.



Flow Cut

Revamped flow cut engine. Better corner transitions Fewer retracts Smoother tool path Reliable Under an ENV in NX 6.0 Upcoming Enhancements

TP Editing

Re-architected Tool path editing, faster, better, easier



Holder Split

Faster Collision checking Divide tool path for different tool

lengths.

Divide by Time Divide by Length Divide at a point



Solid Based Profile

Users select vertical walls and

request the tool trace either the top or

bottom edge chain. This eliminates the need to select

individual edge chains. Allows automation through attributed

face selection. Multiple Depths and Side Passes. Degouge against part.



2D/3D Profile Enhancements

Mixed Cut Direction available. (It is

possible to zigzag down a slot ) Could check the tool path against

part/check defined in the parent

group. (with patch in phase 18) Multiple passes are now supported.

(with patch in phase 18.) Reliability improvements

Face Milling

Control over merging faces.

Face Milling

Cut Across voids.Available for all patterns now.

Cavity Mill and Z Level Enhancements

Improved memory usage. Vertical Wall containment Better performance. Faster Holder checking

Not using Cut tolerance anymore. Optional Check against Dynamic IPW Level based IPW now includes uncut

regions from planar mill and face-mill. Used to cut below part in NX2. Reintroduced in NX6 with a toggle. Also available in NX5 through an

ENVUGII_CAM_CUT_BELOW_PART



Synchronized Point Output

Preview in 5.0.1. Now fully supported

in NX 6 phase 18. Point distribution in tool path is

synchronized from one pass to the

next. Creates better surface finish since

the controller smoothing changes are

gradual from one pass to the next. Available in Area Milling and

Streamline. Not available with On-part step over

method.
