Benefits of Post Configurator
• New easy-to-use and integrated development tool for Post
Processors within NX CAM
• Promote Re-use rather than Re-write
• Layer concept instead of monolithic files
• Separated core functionality from customization
• Based on the same underlying MOM architecture
• Built-in protection capability for Post Processors

Concept of Layers
• Post Processor is more than one monolithic file now, it is split up in layers
• Multiple layers with different functionality, not every layer is always required
• A layer...
... can add new functionality.
... can overwrite existing functionality.
... can be Tcl code.
... can be encrypted.
... can be protected.

• Problem
Machine tool axis is broken / bad behavior
Unfit be used to produce high quality parts
• Solution Idea
Use B-Axis Head
Available on shop floor and the controller
never used in planning department
• Needed Action
Adopt the Machine Kit to use this new
configuration include Kinematic, Post and
Simulation
Software Question
Do we need some consultant service days?
Answer
With some basic knowledge target achievable by:
KIM 2 changes in the kinematic model(make pocket for head static)
CAM 2 adjustments in the CAM setup (Add head and place tools)
POST 6 action with Post Configurator(Create new PP Adjust some settings)
MTSK link new Post to the MTSK in the library
CSE 4 adjustments in the Simulation context (new head subprogram / tool mount / chain)
