Highlights
Comprehensive, fully integrated CAD/CAM solution
Increasing demands on programming due to more complex manufacturing technologies and process integration in machine tools increasingly require a digital solution to use them efficiently. Additionally, knowledge transfer, driven by a shortage of skilled workers and demographic changes, is becoming more prominent and threatens competitiveness.
Siemens NX, as one of the leading CAD/CAM solutions, offers solutions for each of these challenges. With its open architecture, NX provides unique advantages through the implementation and automation of DMG MORI-specific features.
Take advantage of a comprehensive, unified user interface for each module, whether it is CAD, CAM, measuring, or NC simulation.
- Working on an intelligent 3D model
- Parallel working in CAD CAM
- Open architecture allows for high flexibility
- Extensive technology offering in one environment
Module
NX CAD
The extensive capabilities of NX CAD lay the foundation for a seamless manufacturing process right from the component design stage. Constructive changes to the 3D model have immediate effects on the component programming. Due to the increasing complexity of components, CAD is an integral part of processing external data to successfully implement a project in CAM.
- Design- & drawing functions
- Easy processing of external/neutral formats
- Reverse engineering
- 3D PDF & PMI support
NX CAM
NX CAM enables programming from 2.5-axis to 5-axis simultaneously, as well as synchronized turn-mill operations, modular and tailored to individual requirements. This is supported by an NC simulation of DMG MORI machine tools, including 3D collision control and real-time material removal.
- From 2.5D to multi-channel machining
- Established milling strategies for individual machining
- Modular design tailored to customer requirements
Functions
DMG MORI provides users with some unique functions that extend the capabilities of Siemens NX. The focus here is on process security, process integration, and automation. The in-house development particularly benefits from close collaboration with DMG MORI factories and application technology.
DMG MORI MTSK (Post processor)
The in-house DMG MORI MTSK (Machine Tool Support Kit) is not only a post processor certified for DMG MORI machines for creating NC code, but also a full-fledged NC machine simulation with real machine kinematics and a virtual controller based on Siemens' Common Simulation Engine (CSE), which can be customized to specific customer needs.
- Post processor & NC simulation
- Support through smart templates
- Full integration in the NX CAM module
DMG MORI Technology Cycles
The exclusive DMG MORI Technology Cycles serve to expand the technological scope of the machine tool, increase productivity, and enhance safety. When these cycles are purchased for Siemens NX, the respective cycle can be programmed directly in the CAM environment and simulated with a DMG MORI MTSK.
- Programming in the CAD/CAM context
- Worldwide exclusive NC simulation
- Faster results through feature recognition
In-process measuring
Adaptive Machining is an add-on to ensure process and component quality. It is based on the integration of Renishaw measurement cycles, whose range of functions is so diverse that machining processes can be fully or partially automated. With the help of in-process measuring and queries, autonomous setup or correction of machining, machine parameters, and tools, unmanned production can be achieved.
- Intuitive programming of measuring cycles
- Creation of complex measuring loops
- NC code & simulation with DMG MORI MTSK
Feature-based Programming (FBM)
With FBM, automated machining operations can be generated in Siemens NX. A geometry feature is recognized using a technology database, and a standardized machining process is created. For quick implementation, DMG MORI offers the Starter Kit, which includes a pre-configured technology database. This base can then be supplemented with customer-specific machining rules.
- Automated programming through feature recognition & database
- Measurability through standardization
- Quick implementation thanks to the DMG MORI Starter Kit
Services
As an experienced partner in the turn-key business, DMG MORI sees itself primarily as a service provider, assisting manufacturing companies in transitioning to or adopting digital design and manufacturing. The focus is not on the software itself, but on making the customer's process on the machine as accessible and manageable as possible.
