What are the numerical control software?

Question 1: What are the best NC programming softwares in common use?

Numerical control programming has its own language just like computer programming, but there is one thing that is different. Now the computer has developed to occupy the global market with Microsoft Windows as its absolute advantage. CNC machine tools are different, and have not developed to the point where they can be used with each other. In other words, the gap in hardware makes their CNC systems temporarily unable to achieve mutual compatibility. Therefore, when I want to process a blank, I must first use the system type of CNC machine tools that we already have.

( 1)Mastercam

The CAD/CAM software based on PC platform developed by American CNC company makes geometric modeling convenient and intuitive. Mastercam provides an ideal environment for designing the shape of parts, and its powerful and stable modeling function can design complex curve and surface parts. Mastercam has powerful functions of surface rough machining and surface finish machining. There are many options for surface finishing, which can meet the surface processing requirements of complex parts and has the function of multi-axis machining. Because of its low price and superior performance, it has become the first choice for CNC programming software in domestic civil industry.

(2)UG Unigraphics is a set of 3D parametric software which integrates CAD, CAM and CAE functions. It is the most advanced high-end software for computer-aided design, analysis and manufacturing, and is applied to aviation, aerospace, automobiles, ships, general machinery and electronics. UG software is in a leading position in the field of CAM, produced by McDonnell Douglas Aircraft Company, and is the first choice programming tool for NC machining of aircraft parts.

(3)Pro/E is

The software developed by American PTC (Parametric Technology Co., Ltd.) is the most popular 3D CAD/CAM system in the world. Widely used in electronics, machinery, molds, industrial design and toys and other civil industries. It has many functions, such as part design, product assembly, mold development, NC machining, modeling design and so on.

Pro/E is widely used in southern enterprises in China. It is a common practice to use PRO-E in design modeling and MASTERCAM and CIMATRON in programming.

(4)C(imatronCAD/CAM) system

The CAD/CAM/PDM products of Cimatron Company in Israel are the systems that realized all the functions of 3D CAD/CAM on the microcomputer platform earlier. The system provides flexible user interface, excellent 3D modeling, engineering drawing, comprehensive NC machining, various general and special data interfaces and integrated product data management. CimatronCAD/CAM system is very popular in the international mold manufacturing industry, and also widely used in the domestic mold bureau manufacturing industry.

(5) Function camera

The feature-based full-function CAM software developed by DELCAM Company in the United States has a brand-new feature concept, super feature recognition, material library based on process knowledge base, tool library and icon navigation, and programming mode based on process card. The software of the whole module, from 2~5 axis milling to turning-milling compound machining, from curved surface machining to wire cutting machining, provides a comprehensive solution for workshop programming. DELCAM software has better post-editing function.

In recent years, some domestic manufacturing enterprises are gradually introducing them to meet the needs of industry development, and they are emerging products.

(6)EdgeCAM

The intelligent professional NC programming software produced by Pathtrace Company in Britain can be applied to the programming of CNC machine tools such as turning, milling and wire cutting. According to the machining characteristics of complex 3D surfaces, EdgeCAM has designed a more convenient and reliable machining method, which is very popular in European and American manufacturing industries.

Question 2: What domestic CNC systems are guangzhou cnc, Beijing Kaidi CNC, Huazhong CNC, Chengdu Guang Tai, Shenzhen Zhongxingxing and Nanjing Huaxing? . . . .

Falak (Japan), IEMENS (Germany), Mitsubishi (Japan) and Haas (USA) are widely used abroad. . .

Question 3: What software is commonly used in CNC industry now? 1 Why do you want to learn programming? I have been engaged in programming in Suzhou for many years, comparing the mold and numerical control industry. Being engaged in numerical control operation is very tired and dirty, with low technical content and low salary. And engaged in the programming industry, although not particularly high-paying, but the work is easy, respected, and the income is ok. In other places, as far as income is concerned, wire cutting manipulator >; Spark machine operation > machining center operation > let's go, silk. Programming is a shortcut for people engaged in machining centers to increase their income. What are the commonly used softwares in domestic programming industry, and what is their situation? The domestic three-dimensional design programming software mainly includes ug, catia, proe, cimatron, powermill, mastercam, solidworks, tebis, etc. In terms of design, catia and ug belong to high-grade software, which has a great market in automobile industry and aircraft design and manufacturing industry. Proe and solidworks belong to mid-range software, mainly concentrated in the small household appliances market. In the programming industry, tebis belongs to high-end software, mainly concentrated in automobile aviation and high-precision parts industry. Powermill, ug and cimatron belong to mid-range software, mainly focusing on tool and mold manufacturing. Mastercam is relatively weak, but 2D is powerful, mainly used for programming products or parts. In terms of market share, that is, the difficulty of finding a job. In terms of design (mechanical design, mold design, industrial design, structural design, reverse design), ug and proe have an absolute advantage, exceeding 80%. But learning ug is more promising than learning proe, because ug can easily enter the automobile and aviation industries and earn more. In the programming industry, ug and cimatron have an absolute advantage, exceeding 75%. Ug is an American software that integrates design and programming, so it is very popular in European and American foreign-funded enterprises in Guangdong and Jiangsu. Cimatron is Israeli software. Because of its ultra-fast programming speed and safe tool path, it was once very popular in the mold manufacturing industry, but in recent years, the market has shrunk, mainly in Zhejiang, and it also has a strong user base in various processing shops and small companies. Powermill is very popular and powerful in Europe, but it doesn't perform well in China market. Mastercam generally makes a lot of products and parts, but the salary is relatively low, so it is difficult to enter the mold industry and change jobs. It is not recommended to study. As for caxa software widely studied in domestic universities, few companies in China are using it, and the employment opportunities are very slim. Therefore, from the difficulty of finding a job, from the number of employment opportunities and income, learning ug is the most realistic. Is 3 ug difficult to learn? Can you learn it by attending a training class and find a job? In the Pearl River Delta and the Yangtze River Delta, there are numerous ug training courses, because there is a great demand in the NC programming industry, but there are no 3D software courses for college students trained in major universities. Therefore, many employees engaged in the mold and numerical control industry, in addition to the company's internal training, a considerable part of them are employed after studying through various training courses. Many of these people have just graduated from high school without going to college. With the guidance of a good teacher, learning ug is not a problem at all. Finding a job is not a problem. Why does Qi Hang Studio dare to say that it is the most professional? Whether you are professional or not depends on the level of the teacher. There is only one teacher in Qi Hang Studio, that is, Gong Li. He has been engaged in the mold industry since 2003 and has worked for two companies. The first company is Suzhou Kecheng Technology, a Taiwan-funded enterprise, the world's largest manufacturer of magnesium-aluminum alloy die-casting molds and 3C products. The market share behind Kecheng Technology is Hongzhun Company under the famous Foxconn Group. Gong Li's projects include Dell's laptop, Motorola's V3 mobile phone and Apple's mp4 and iphone projects. The second company is Suzhou Haituo. German-funded company, belonging to the world's top 500 German Haila. The world's most professional automobile lamp injection mold manufacturer. Gong Li's projects include manufacturing automotive lamp molds such as Toyota and Volkswagen. Therefore, Li's trade union takes the labor factory as an example and combines his own experience to adopt the training standards and training methods of foreign companies for teaching. It's no different from studying in a factory.

Question 4: Generally speaking, there are only a few kinds of NC programming software that are widely used now. There is no doubt that UG is the most powerful, and it is very good at processing and modeling, and it can be mixed wherever it is mastered. Mastercam is the most commonly used, easy to understand, easy to use, but not easy to master. Now it is generally used for machining and rarely used for modeling. Pro/e is generally used for modeling and rarely used for machining. Powermill is easy to machine, and it takes half a day to weave a tool path like mastercam. Cimatron processing is also good.

These softwares are generally downloaded online. Baidu can search for the kind of soft download you want. Pirated ones can be used anyway, but they are not as perfect as genuine ones. Really big companies, small companies generally can't afford it.

Question 5: What kinds of CNC machine tool systems (1) are there?

The hardware of this CNC system is developed by the manufacturer of CNC system, which has strong specificity. After a long period of use, the quality and performance are stable and reliable, and it still occupies most of the manufacturing market. However, because it adopts a completely closed architecture, it often has the following shortcomings:

A. The user's application, maintenance and operator training completely depend on the manufacturer of the numerical control system, and the system maintenance cost is high;

B. The expansion and update of system functions completely depends on the technical level of the company, and the cycle is relatively long;

C. A large number of cheap general-purpose hardware and software on the market can't be used in special numerical control systems, and their functions are relatively simple.

Therefore, with the continuous development of open architecture CNC system, the market of this traditional dedicated CNC system is being challenged, and its market share has been gradually decreasing.

(2) Open CNC system with 2)PC embedded in CNC structure.

Such as Fanuc 16i/ 18i, Siemens 840d, Numio 60 and other numerical control systems. Compared with the traditional special CNC system, this kind of CNC system is open in structure and powerful in function, but the hardware and software structure of the system is very complicated and the price of the system is very expensive, which is beyond the reach of ordinary small and medium-sized CNC machine tool manufacturers.

(3) Open CNC system, in which NC is embedded in PC structure.

The hardware part of the numerical control system consists of an open motion control card and a PC. Motion control card usually uses high-speed DSP as CPU, which has strong motion control and PLC control ability. For example, Mazatorl 640CNC built by Japanese MAZAK Company with mitsubishi electric's MELDASMAGIC 64. This kind of numerical control system has good openness and is convenient for function perfection. The control function of the system is mainly realized by the motion control card. When the hardware of the machine tool changes, it is only necessary to modify the corresponding control software. The system has a high cost performance and can meet the needs of most CNC machine tool manufacturers.

(4) Full-software open CNC system

This is a new type of open CNC system. All CNC functions (including interpolation and position control) are realized by computer software. Compared with the previous CNC system, the full software open CNC system has the highest cost performance, so it has the most vitality.

Question 6: What software is used for NC programming? Nowadays, CNC (Machining Center) is rapidly popularized in the field of machinery, and computer modeling naturally becomes a skill that machinery and mold practitioners must learn. Facts have proved that the salary of a mechanical practitioner who knows computer modeling and programming is 3-5 times higher than that of a mechanical practitioner who doesn't know computers. And with the progress of machining, a large number of manual workers will be reduced. People who can design computers will have a higher status. MASTERCAM, CIMATRON, PRO-E, UG, CATIA, CAD... 1, MASTERCAM is the most commonly used software in the pearl river delta. It first entered Chinese mainland, and 70% of the CNC masters you saw in the factory used MASTERCAM, which integrated drawing and programming. Drawing lines is the fastest building. Zoom function is the best. 2. CIMATRON, an Israeli military software that entered China late, is superior to MASTERCAM in tool path function, which makes up for the shortcomings of MASTERCAM. The system has been widely used in machinery, electronics, aerospace, scientific research and mold industry. In machining programming, 99% use CIMATRON and MASTERCAM. In the early days, these two softwares were used to draw pictures and write NC programs, but their functions in drawing and modeling were not very good. PRO-E entered Chinese mainland at this time. 3.Pro/E is a software developed by American PTC (Parametric Technology Co., Ltd.), which has become the most popular 3D CAD/CAM (Computer Aided Design and Manufacturing) system in the world for more than ten years. Widely used in electronics, machinery, molds, industrial design and toys and other industries. * * * integrates the functions of parts design, product assembly, mold development, numerical control machining and modeling design, and 1997 became popular in Chinese mainland. Used in mold design, product drawing, advertising design, image processing and lighting modeling design, and can automatically generate engineering drawings. At present, most enterprises are equipped with Pro/ENGINEER software. It and UG are the best drawing software, but PRO-E is the most popular in Chinese mainland. It has been recognized that drawing with PRO-E and processing with MASTERCAM and CIMATRON. 4.Unigraphics (UG for short) entered the mainland much later than PRO-E, but it is also the most advanced high-end software for manufacturing CAD/CAE/CAM in the world. UG software is used by many leading manufacturers in the world to engage in industrial design, detailed mechanical design and engineering manufacturing. Now UG has more than 17000 customers worldwide. UG has developed rapidly since it entered the China market in 1990, and has become the first choice software in the fields of automobile, machinery, computer, household appliances and mold design. 5.Powermill is a British programming software with the best tool path, which is especially suitable for waste processing. 6. The most striking feature of 6.CATIA is its powerful surface function, which should be said to be unmatched by any CAD 3D software. At present, almost all domestic airline companies are using CATIA, and of course UG is also used, but it is not as extensive as it is, but small enterprises generally can't afford genuine products, and domestic piracy is rare. CATIA is an integrated application software package, covering all aspects of product design: computer aided design (CAD), computer aided engineering analysis (CAE) and computer aided manufacturing (CAM). It not only provides the necessary functions to support various types of collaborative product design, but also can be seamlessly integrated to fully support "end-to-end" enterprise process solutions.

Question 7: What systems are there in the CNC machining center? There are many systems in CNC machining center, such as KND, Huazhong, Guangsu, Fanuc, Siemens, New Generation, Mitsubishi, etc.

Question 8: Is there any good mobile app for learning NC? At present, there is no numerical control simulation software used on mobile phones.

You can search "CNC" and find some relevant information.

Question 9: What are the automatic programming softwares commonly used in CNC programming systems? MASTERCAM UG POWERMILL PRO/E software, CATIA, CIMATRON, DELCAM and other software. PRO/E software is mainly used for 3D modeling in mold industry.
