1.1 Outline

AP100G Part Process is the sheet metal application that takes CAD data from AP10G
Unfold Drawing, assigns tooling and generates NC Program. There are functions as
below.

◆Load Flat data

Function
! Load flat data from AP100G Unfold Drawing

◆Assign Tools

! Ability to assign tools automatically.

! Manual tool assign functions.

◆Tool Sort / Repositioning

! Auto tool sort

! Auto repositioning when tool hits are over table size.

◆Generate NC Program

! Generate/Save NC programs with setting of NC Generation.

1.2 The Position of CAM
AP100G Part Process is the sheet metal application that takes CAD data
from AP10G Unfold Drawing, assigns tooling and generates NC
Program.
The position of Part Process is shown in the chart below.

◆ Setup Process Condition

Set Parameter in Machine Manager, Turret load, Punch Master Manager,

Material Manager.

◆ Create Flat

Create Flat on AP100G Unfold

Drawing.

◆ Generate NC Program
Generate NC program on AP100G Part/Sheet Process.
This manual explains about this area.

◆ Simulation

1.3 How to use CAM
AP100G CAM has Part Process and Sheet Process. This manual explains operation flow
and how to use for both Part Process and Sheet Process.
The Part Process is to assign tools and generate NC for single part. When CAM is
launched from CAD side, Part Process will be launched.

The Sheet Process is to layout dissimilar part with/without tooling on the sheet.

# [AP100G Sheet Process] is a soft library.

Option Soft
# It requires license of [Sheet Process]
