ICAM’s Total Commitment to CATIA V5 NC Manufacturing
- 35 years of industry leadership in NC post-processing
- CATIA V5 user community comprised of the foremost aerospace / automotive companies
- Unrivalled CATIA V5 NC machining expertise
- Extensive team of highly skilled Application Engineers
Leading organizations in the aerospace and automotive industries such as Boeing, Raytheon, Lockheed Martin, Ford and Daimler Chrysler have successfully adopted CATIA V5 and CAM-POST products and services to meet their NC manufacturing requirements. This cohesive solution enables CATIA V5 users to develop, manage and execute advanced multi-axis NC post-processors directly within the CATIA V5 environment.
Integrated PSE inside CATIA / DELMIA V5
ICAM introduces Integrated Post-processing, Simulation and Emulation (PSE) solution within CATIA / DELMIA V5. Integrated PSE is a new NC manufacturing methodology that allows for interactive post-processing, machine simulation and control emulation within a tightly integrated software solution which includes: CAM-POST®, Virtual Machine® and Control EmulatorTM.
Integrated PSE accommodates a complete "in-process" or "on-demand" NC manufacturing environment as opposed to the existing multiple process loop currently offered by independent competitive products. Benefits include improvements to NC programmer productivity and manufacturing process efficiency, resulting in faster time to market!
Post-Processing - CAM-POST®
CAM-POST is an advanced single source NC post-processing development and deployment software product supporting the most popular CAD / CAM / PLM systems, CNC controllers and machine tools.
Sophisticated forward-looking optimization features are offered in CAM-POST including path planning, rotary axes pre-positioning and winding to optimize machining while avoiding dwell marks and over-travel.
CAM-POST also supports advanced machine tool features such as tool-tip programming, coordinate frame transformations, NURBS interpolation and arc fitting of point-to-point data.
Simulation - Virtual Machine® for Graphical NC Post-Processing
Virtual Machine® allows for graphical NC post-processing that enables NC programmers to graphically simulate and test programs, easily and automatically, against collisions and over-travel.
Deploying Virtual Machine with CAM-POST provides an interactive post-processing and simulation environment that allows modeling of the physical CNC machine and detection of errors while CAM-POST calculates alternative options to optimize the generated NC code.
Emulation - Control EmulatorTM
Control EmulatorTM (CE) is a software product allowing NC programmers to simulate and test NC programs using Machine Code Data (MCD) within CATIA / DELMIA V5.
Implementing CE allows NC programmers and machine operators to emulate and simulate the final MCD before running the NC program on the actual NC machine. This process enables the user to avoid costly prove-outs and reduce scrap material while increasing machine utilization on the shop floor.
ICAM - CATIA V5 NC Manufacturing Experts
ICAM CATIA V5 consultants are available to coach and Mentor NC programmers with proven "application based" best practices. ICAM's specialized services provide the ideal next step for NC resources that have completed the CATIA V5 NC Fundamentals training course, and want to apply theory to practice for specific projects and CNC equipment needs.
Benefits include bottom line cost savings and improvements in the following areas: shortened implementation cycle and learning curve, hands-on results, greater skill retention and software usability and overall NC programmer productivity and manufacturing process efficiency.
