CAPPS NC offers the following add on modules and options:
| NC SPC | Execution Module | Reverse Engineering |
| 4th & 5th Axis | Work Offset & Tool Compensation | and more! |
NC SPC
AAT offers statistical process control (SPC) for engineers to understand and monitor process variation through control charts. CAPPS processes these charts by plotting a product's quality variable over a period of time on a sequence plot.
The power of SPC control charts lies in its ability to separate two types of variation in a product's quality characteristic - (1) Variation due to assingnable causes and (2) random variation.
- Built into CAPPS DMIS environment.
- Real time SPC calculations.
- Easy to teach database.
- Interative data analysis.
- All SPC parameters calculated automatically.
- Gage R&R computations built in.
Execution Module
Add CAPPS NC functionality to additional machines at a reduced cost! By programming offline and using execution modules to process data run programs.
- Ideal for multiple machine installations
- Also ideal for production environments
- Reduced cost to full CAPPS NC versions
Reverse Engineering
Allows the use of touch probe scanning to scan and construct using features from unknown parts. Simply set the start location probing and scanning direction and CAPPS NC takes care of the rest
- Simple to use
- Reverse engineer intricate parts
- Works just like DMIS scanning!
- Adaptive scanning for unknown parts/features
4th & 5th Axis
Customers using 5-Axis machining centers are now able to automatically index the probe head based upon the feature to be measured. This drastically reduces programming time on complicated 5 axis parts.
- Upgrades CAPPS NC to work with 4 and 5 axis machine of any configuration
- Calculates 4 and 5 axis rotations based upon feature vector
- Clearance moves automatically generated for safe probing motion
- Collision detection and avoidance built in
- Eliminates need for understanding vectors while programming
Work Offset & Tool Compensation
Generate work offsets with up to 6 degrees of freedom from any measured feature or based upon complicated alignments.
- Use any measured features to generate tool compensation
- Works with 3D Best Fitting
