One, foreword SURFCAM is Euramerican wait for a country to be in of popularity of manufacturing industry domain, apply to of all kinds in the CAD/CAM software of production enterprise of minor scale of production, by development of company of American Surfware software, its NC machines module to have powerful treatment and postposition processing function. SURFCAM is in 2002 edition are new added intelligence of SRM(Step Reduction Milling) , optimized rough machining method, shortened greatly rough machining time, improve manufacturing efficiency. The technological process that uses SURFCAM 2002 to design machine program is shown 1 times like the graph. Graph flow of 1 design machine program the article summarized SURFCAM 2002 machine program to devise a method by afore-mentioned flow. 2, set treatment operates an environment 1. Read take graphical data SURFCAM to regard a convenient, practical treatment as software, take the compatibility with other CAD system seriously very much, arrive all the time 2002 edition, be being done in this respect is very outstanding. SURFCAM 2002 offerred rich data to access commutative pattern, be like * .

Vda use at undertaking with other software data is exchanged, wait for the model file that mainstream CAD system makes to AutoCAD, Solid Edge and SolidWorks, SURFCAM 2002 can be read directly take. 2. Open production menu to choose NC to process an instruction, the system shoots a dialog box, if pursue,2 are shown. Graph 2 treatment mode chooses to machine mode, enter corresponding treatment to operate an environment namely. Treatment of treatment of mill of boring of axis of SURFCAM 2002 cent, mill of 3 axes boring, CNC Turning treatment, much axis treatment and cut of electric spark line, the article chooses to apply more 3 axes CNC Milling to narrate treatment process, choose statement of NC → 3 Axis. 3, 3 axes treatment has SURFCAM 2002 of setting treatment method method of 12 kinds of treatment: Cut, Project, Z Rough, Plunge Rough, Z Finish, Planar, Contour 3D, Drill, Pilot Hole, Auto Rough, Rest Material and Pencil Cut, better land satisfied the design need in treatment, all sorts of treatment methods are general on setting measure identical, the element such as condition of the craft requirement that handlers should machine according to workpiece, treatment chooses corresponding treatment method. Choose statement of NC → 3 Axis, the choice machines a method one kind, systematic clew chooses the curved surface that needs treatment, enter treatment parameter setting namely. 4, setting treatment parameter chooses good treatment method in on one (with Planar treatment means is exemple) with the curved surface that needs treatment hind, shoot a dialog box of SURFCAM 3Axis Cut, if pursue,3 are shown. The graph contains information of Tool Information(cutting tool in dialog box of setting of 3 treatment parameter) , Cut Control(cutting is controlled) with option of 3Axis Options(3 axis) setting. 1. Information of Tool Information(cutting tool) cutting tool information is an important setting parameter, its choice and setting can affect treatment efficiency and treatment result. Special attention wants when undertaking cutting tool is installed machining, cause the failure that machines actually because of installing a mistake in order to avoid. In information of Tool Information(cutting tool) in the dialog box (the graph shows) 3 times, can set number of Tool Number(cutting tool) , diameter of Tool Diameter(cutting tool) , round horn of Tip Radius(point of a knife) , Length Offset(knife grows compensation) , diameter of Diameter Offset(knife is compensated) , material of Work Offset, Tool Material(cutting tool) , rotate speed of main shaft of Z Gauge Length, Spindle() , speed of Feed Rate(cutting) , speed of the knife below Plunge Rate(. SURFCAM 2002 has intelligent expert system in Tool Information, can give out according to machining material and place to choose cutting tool corresponding cutting rate and speed leaving a sword, handlers also can is opposite according to need this undertakes modification. Nextpage2. Cut Control(cutting is controlled) when designing machine program, SURFCAM 2002 can reach treatment parameter to produce the method parameter that machines cutting tool according to model of cutting tool geometry, the parameter of method of treatment cutting tool that machines the setting of parameter to be able to affect a generation. Because this is when setting treatment parameter, want the requirement of the state that the basis machines and precision, set proper treatment parameter. In SURFCAM 3Axis Planar, the dot chooses Cut Control option, shoot a Cut Control dialog box, if pursue,4 are shown. Corresponding setting has to what treatment needs parameter in the dialog box. Graph 4 treatment parameter is installed 3. Option of 3Axis Options(3 axis) in SURFCAM 3Axis Planar, the dot chooses 3Axis Options option, shoot a 3Axis Options dialog box, the parameter in 3Axis Options is decided by other parameter place, do not need special setting commonly. After the setting that finishs each parameter content, the certain options in clicking menu of dialog box SURFCAM 3Ais Planar finishs treatment parameter to install, exit a dialog box. If treatment parameter is unreasonable, the system can give out with information window make mistake clew. The Operations Manager(in pressing a toolbar handles management implement) pushbutton, can be examined at any time and edit treatment parameter. 5, make cutting tool way 1. System of route of scale cutting tool makes cutting tool way on screen, it is at the same time in Operations Manager dialog box (information of method of indication cutting tool of 5) seeing a picture. Pick(cursor can be used to nod in Edit NC menu) , below Next(one knife) with before Previous(one knife) the knife of instruction control cutting tool show. After graph 5 Operations Manager finishs the parameter that machines design of cutting tool method to install, the system can produce cutting tool method according to the setting parameter of the user, and the part of detail of method of major cutting tool that produces all is installed by systematic proper motion, its result may not accords with expectation completely. Can use Edit, Insert and Delete function to edit in Edit NC menu accordingly, increase or delete statement of any machine program, make its satisfy design requirement. 2. Cutting tool method is emulated in Operations Manager dialog box, choose statement of Run SURFCAM Verify In Auto Mode, the emulation that cutting tool contrail begins on screen is machined. Emulate through cutting tool contrail, can see the process that the contrail that cutting tool runs and material are excised clearly. If cutting tool contrail is endless reasonable or appeared to interfere, can set treatment parameter afresh through Operations Manager or choose to machine a method afresh, till appear satisfactory result. 6, postposition processing generates NC file to be in Operations Manager dialog box, before choosing in NC Project look unfamiliar becomes the file name of the program, choose form of a kind of numerical control system that makes postposition transaction file, click Post pushbutton, systematic backstage makes the NC code file that requires a form, if pursue,6 are shown. Code of graph 6 NC 7, the CAD/CAM software with last word comprehensive to other and large function look, the use of SURFCAM 2002 appears quick, convenient, not tall also to the requirement of hardware (P Ⅱ 200MHz, 64MB memory above) , can realize fast process designing and the treatment that complete relatively complex part.
