3 Axis Cnc Programme Generation of Cover Plate

Abstract

Cover plate is used to hold the amplifiers, resistors and other circuit parts in electrical circuit box. It is clamped to entire circuit box like cap. The component requires both inside and outside machining. So it needs a special type of fixture to hold the component rigidly. For this, the component is top clamped. This process done in CNC Machines.

Process planning is function within the manufacturing facility that establishes which processes and parameters are to be used (as well as those machines capable of performing these processes) to convert a work piece to a finished part from its initial form to the final one predetermined in a engineering drawing.

The main aim of this project is to optimize the machining time of electronic cover  plate. This process done by developing fixture for manufacturing of cover plate. NX-CAD is used for developing design of cover plate and fixture and NX-CAM is used for performing manufacturing process and generating NC program for cover plate.
