CappsNC NC-Fit Laser Example
The Goal
Accurate drilling & trimming on a very large composite part
The Challenge
Part is very large and non-rigid, taking a long time to setup.
The Solution
Leverage CAPPSNC & NCFIT with laser scanning and MPF Reposting
CappsNC NC-Fit Laser Example
- Create a laser scanning measurement program
Scanning Program
Automatic program generation from a MPF program over the trimming path:
- Automatic head angles selection
- Full Program simulation
- Data point generation for analysis
- Part scanning measurement
Scan part trim lines- Convert scanning program into MPF
- Execute MPF program on machine
- Real time live feedback to load point cloud data
- Point Cloud rendering
Render point clouds onto surface- Use CAPPSNC Rendering option
- Convert point cloud into triangulated surfaces
- Part shape analysis
Compare GCode data points to part shape- Use EXTRACT to analyze all G-Code data points to scan data
- Visualize data for a better understanding
- Re-post G-Code program
Repost newly generated program- Automatically convert original NC program by comparing each line with the part scan data
- Create new NC program by applying changes for 5 axis parameters to match the program to actual part Shape & Location
