NX CAM Release 2206

Gouge and collision checking
Gouge and tool checks are now combined in one area. Using the Check Toolpath dialog box, collision checks can now be performed for in-process workpieces (IPW) and holders.

Prediction of operation settings
A new Prediction node in the operation dialog box displays the parameters that were previously used in this operation. When an operation is edited for the first time, a warning is displayed indicating that parameter prediction is not available. NX stores behavior information for each user so that your prediction parameters are up to date. The more you use NX, the more it learns from your decisions to provide more accurate predictions.

New Thread Turn operation subtype
Using the new Thread Turn operation subtype, you can create straight or tapered threads by selecting the part geometry. NX accesses the feature information from the model and imports the parameters required to cut the threads.

U-Axis Turning support
This new feature enables the use of multiple turning spindle axis for U-axis turning in NX CAM. This prevents the part from rotating during simulation when the tool is mounted in a device that is classified as a facing head.

Reversed Spindle Direction
You can now change the spindle direction during programming without having to adjust the postprocessor.

Postprocessing

Reuse of NC-Codes
The generated NC code can now be stored in the operations and reused for repeated simulation runs.

Post-Hub
New features and resources have been added to the cloud-based solution for post-processing. The license filter can now be used to quickly view available Smart Machine Kit Solutions (SMKS). Additional support features, such as training manuals for the post configurator, are also provided.
