The angles constantly change around the part. You can't tell from the photo's but the wall varies in thickness from. The parts in the first two pics here are Ti and were made on a 5 Axis SNK milling machine. I take it your Visi dealer is Vero Tooling Solutions? Here is another part to look at, it's the F-35 forward radar bulkhead and if you ever see an aircraft you can see where it's bonded into the airframe by the color change. LOLīTW, Vero owns the Machining Strategist product. There isn't much else going on right now. Maybe I ought to make a business out of this sort of thing. I'd rather sell these but the dealer is a friend and needed a hand. I gave one away to a new user in Missouri as a courtesy just last week along with the post to drive it. My 5 axis OKKPV600 simulation model, and a bunch of others, even have the control and sheet metal modeled. I have posts as well but they are easier for end users to modify now because they are text files. Oh well.Īs for the simulator, I've got a collection of about 70 completely defined machine kinematics models that have all been tested on actual machines.
#Manual that teaches vero visi upgrade
That alone would make the upgrade worth doing for a production machine shop. The CAM Navigator in V17 is awesome - even when compared to V16. i also didn't especially want to be a guinea pig, if you know what I mean.
I was in the middle of something and the interface changed significantly. The kinematic simulation in 16 is amazing too." "The jump from 15 to 16 was quite big with having to learn the Cam navigator (mind you you're fairly comfortable within a week). you have to create one, at least, to begin programming anything. In V17, the cam setup is completely configurable and unlike earlir versions than V16. Since V15 there is just a toggle in the machine set up to output either absolute or relative data. I used to teach it that way until V15 and still do depending on the user. he was the one who told us that we must move everything to absolute origin in order to machine properly." "We had a guy work for us for a couple of months that had worked VISI for the last 4 years or so i think. I also sold it out here in California for a couple of years. including wire EDM and have been using the product since 1998.
#Manual that teaches vero visi full
I've got the full Progress, Mold, Electrode and Mold Flow package as well as every machining module. My seat of Visi is worth $100K US more or less. was just told there was more "glitches" with it. Oh also we run it in Metric and a VISI rep told us that running it imperial has a lot more issues, as it is intended to be a metric program. If you have any questions about it let me know i'd be glad to share what i know! but that's not to say it can't be used for that either, i'm just imagining some other CAM has more bells and whistles to appeal to production machining. VISI is more of a die mold software, not as much production machining. The CAD should be enough to do just about anything you need, and the CAM has lots of tool pathing to choose from. I was told that the 3d machining paths are all the same as what is in Mastercam. It's the only Cad/CAM i've used so i have nothing to compare it to, but it is very good IMO at doing it all. Right now we do our Surfacing and modelling in VISI 16 and then convert a step file to do our machining in VISI 15. we just havn't had time to really dive into it as much. Granted, once you get into the habit of copying things over to absolute, i'm sure it's not so bad. 15 is not like this and you setup your workplane whereever, and go.
And if you do a bunch of tool pathing but forgot to move your work plane to absolute first, then you have to redo it all over again. meaning you have to either move all of your orgional geometry, or, copy it all over to it. The HUGE downfall to versions after 15 is that you must move your workplane to absolute ALWAYS. 16 has a lot of nice features, and the CAD portion has some nice surfacing improvements to it for sure. The change from 15 to 16 was huge as far as the CAM portion goes. Right now i think they are on version 17 but we are still using version 15, and from what i hear, a lot of people who use visi are still on 15.
