CAT-1000P

Not available for manual CMMs

CAT1000P significantly facilitates the programming of measurement tasks during the GEOPAK learn mode.

All data for measuring parts and tolerance evaluations are takenaccurately from the CAD model via pointing device (mouse,trackball, etc.) selection.

 

The same principles apply for

programming probe paths (clearance and measurement), while at the same time, using the nominal directly off the CAD model for tolerance comparison

 

CAT-1000P*

(Online/offline programming module)

For the creation of measurement and evaluation routines of Prismatic features (lines, planes, circles, cylinder, etc.), from a CAD model for nominal to actual comparison. Includes: MachineBuilder, automatic path generation (animated), Collision checking and flexible reporting formats.

 

Product Manufacturing Information

CAT-1000 uses 3D ACIS.

CAT-1000 fully supports and reads PMI (Product Manufacturing Information) which is imbedded in the model for Datum alignment, GD&T Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing.

Support CAD data : import/export for all applications,CGM and Parasolidbased CATIA V5, SolidWorks, NX Siemens (Unigraphics), Parasolids, AutoDesk Inventor, Pro-Engineer and IGES or VDAFS exchange formats are available as an option.Standard with CAT-1000 is ACIS (*.sat) and STEP AP203.

CAT-1000P Geometry Available in offline and online

CAT-1000P provides the operator visibility of the CMM, probe/changer system, master-ball, and part/fixture locations. It provides a realistic simulation of your environment or DME. Collision detection takes in to account all of the possible obstructions and uses a movement box to generate GOTO locations just as you would by using a joystick in GEOPAK

CAT-1000P Multi-Circle Function

To speed up the programming process in GEOPAK CNC, CAT-1000P has created tools to shorten the time by using the nominal CAD data. The Multi circle function allows the operator to drag a window to capture multiple holes in one command. The user may set conditions e.g. a range of diameters so your window will ignore circles that do not meet the condition. e.g. diameter range of 5mm to 10mm will filter out circles outside of this range.

CAT-1000P Multi-Circle Function The nominal values are captured directly from the CAD model and tolerance values can be applied to various groups of size and location in the position GEOPAK-CNC part program.

CAT-1000P Collision Avoidance

CAT1000P online or offline eliminates the chance of collision because machine simulates the machine path in advance so the operator has visually accepted before the command is sent to GEOPAK-CNC. This teach mode approach allows operators to confidently to program offline step by step assuring the program will run successful the first time.

 

CAT-1000P can improve efficiency by reducing spindle down time as a first piece verification is required before production.

First piece programs can be created in advance allowing the operator to simply repeat the program in GEOPAK-CNC and give results to production quickly to increase spindle time.

 

CAT-1000P Auto-Probe Generation

CAT1000P eliminates the time consuming task of data input from paper prints allowing your CMM to work in a paperless environment or by MBD (Model Based Definition).

The same principles apply for programming probe paths (clearance and measurement), Probe paths are displayed graphically in a 3D view and may be changed as needed.

 

Automatic Probe Generation allows new probe positions to be added as you program the part.

It generates the optimal probe stylus orientation for maximum clearance or EWL (effective working length).
