NC-Fit Closed Loop Program Adaptation

•NCFIT adapts NC programs to actual 6DOF part location and part shape

•Eliminate the need for expensive fixturing, time consuming part adjustments

•Adapts 5-Axis head positions to part rotations

•Direct decision-making feedback communicates NC program with software.

•Measure-Cut-Measure loops can call cut programs from measure or measure programs from cut programs.

Leverage CAD and Feature Based Alignments

• Real-world parts do not match programmed shape and position

• Achieve optimum alignment of the workpiece utilizing CAD feature based datum with full GD&T capability

• NCFIT adapts NC programs to actual 6DOF part location and part shape

• Cut part locations with nominals defined inside of feature based alignments

•Eliminate the need for expensive fixturing, time consuming part adjustments

Adaptation of Head Positions

•NC programs are created by using a perfect part model at perfect part location.

•By probing or scanning the scanning a part, software knows exact conditions.

•NCFIT process adapts NC program to reverse engineered part data maintaining the tool to surface relation.

Automated Tool Path Correction

NCFIT process adapts NC program to reverse engineered part data maintaining the tool to surface relation.

NCFIT automatically evaluates and posts corrections to the cutting path on the CNC controller in Real-Time.

NC-Fit Example

See this working example of NC-Fit on with a Renishaw touch probe.

This same functionality can be used with Sprint tactile scanning and laser scanning probes for even faster measurement cycles.
