A machine program drives the machine to a certain axis position, and our Smooth Machining Configuration (SMC) determines how it moves to that desired position-for instance, how the machine will decelerate into a curve and accelerate out of it. ![]() ![]() The development of advanced control functions lets the operator alter cutting paths to create a desired part surface finish or shape or level of machining accuracy. Such an accomplishment was never possible until the development of more robust interfaces. The CAM software then uses that data to generate extremely accurate part-program simulations. Mazak provides an application programming interface (API) that allows CAM software to seamlessly access data from its machine controls. So what happens is the simulation will happen exactly the same way on the machine as long as the tool data is accurate. When shops run a Mazak simulation, for instance, they get tremendous confidence because it uses all the machine’s data as provided by Mazak the OEM to run the simulation. When these systems are paired together shops not only gain valuable real-time data at the machine but also the ability to generate more accurate part-program simulations, which in turn increase the odds tremendously of producing a good first part, thus minimizing prove-out time. Simulation and graphics-The integration or connecting of CAD/CAM software to a machine tool can increase the confidence factor when it comes to machining your complex medical parts.
