CappsNC NC-Fit Probing Example
This CappsNC NC-Fit Probing example shows the benefits of using NC-Fit to probe a part before cutting. CappsNC will probe the part using any sensor including touch probe, analog scanning, and laser. NC-Fit then uses the resulting data to best -fit the part shape and location.
CappsNC will write any required adjustments to the CNC cutting program and re-post the program to the CNC machine.
The Goal
Trim a layer of material without touching the bottom layer
The Challenge
The part fixturing behaves as non-rigid, with large deviations from its model
The Solution
Use NCFIT to adapt the CNC cutting program to actual measured profile
NC-Fit Probing Example
- Create a measurement program from the cutting program using NC-Fit.
- Measure the part profile over the cutting trim lines
- Use NC-Fit to reposition the new cutting program based on the newly measured data
