About NCCAS
NCCAS (NX CAD CAM Automation Service) is a group ofUnigraphics CAD/CAM experts, who have manyyears' experience in NX CAD/CAM softwarecustomization/Implementation/Support, as well as hands-onengineering background in Aerospace, Oil & Gas, Medicalequipment and Semiconductor industries. We providecomplete CAD/CAM solutions for our customers all over theworld with excellent customer service.
Our mission is to provide our customers with the world-classCAD/CAM Services, and help them to speed up the designprocess, reduce the time to market, reduce the cost and keepthe competitive advantages.
NX CAM Automation
What is NX CAM Automation?
NX CAM Automation helps to capture your best practice in NC programmingand turn it into a automatic process by developing Customized application inNX with UG/Open API, Ufun, C/C++, C#, etc.
What are Benefits from NX CAM Automation?
• Capture the Best practice in NC Programming;
• Reduce the NC Programming time by up to 90%.
• Ensure the Consistency in NC programming;
• Ensure the consistency in Machining Quality;
• Avoid errors from manual NC Programming;
Turning Automation
Example: A tool manufacturer has 4000 orders for non-standard sized milltools per year. Each order has very low quantity, but redundant NCprograming is required for each order. The average NC programming time isabout 2 hours (Including manufacturing document preparation).
With a web-based CAM automation application, customers can configure thenon-standard tools from the website, all NC files and manufacturingdocuments can be automatically generated in seconds.
The estimated time saving: 2 x 4000 = 80000 Hours/Year.
NX CAM Automation• Similar Profile • Different dimensions• Low volume• Redundant NC programming
Die Machining Automation
Solution: With a Die Machining Automation, it willautomatically identify all hole and pockets, which will befinally grouped according to the types and dimensions .
The machining process will be automatically generated.And tool paths will be optimized with shortest transitiondistance, less tool changes.
Manufacturing documents will be automaticallygenerated and sent to shop floor.
NX CAM Automation
• More than 50 holes per part• Different Hole dimensions• Different tolerance requirement• Tedious NC programming• Easy to make mistakes

Feature-Based Machining Automation
> 1000 Holes and Slots, how to programming?
Solution: Feature-based machining, which will be ableto identify user-defined-feature and generate tool pathwith the pre-definedmachining template.
NX CAM Automation
Tool Data Management
Project Overview:We need a solution that can keep acentralized tool data list shared by everyCAM user. And it must be easy tomaintain and update, easy to use.
This project provides a solution for CNCmanufacturing workshop to manage theirtool list by machines. Every CAM userare sharing the same tool list, and theycan focus on the NC programmingwithout spending much time on the toolcreation or verification.
NX CAM Automation
Background Post-processing
Project Overview:You can continue your work in NX session during the postprocessing,which may take 30 minutes to hours in some cases. The postprocessing isprocessed in the background.
NX CAM Automation
Background Post Scheduler
Project Overview:You can schedule the backgroundpostprocessing to be executed whileyou are away from the work.
