Abstract

Process documentation is a specific type of progressive form for representation of the technological documentation which defines the sequence of the individual production steps on the chosen machine according to a pre-executed NC program. It is represented by a simplified form of automatically generated reports in a short time interval. The significant contribution of the creation is in the acceleration of communication between the designer and the technologist, as well as NC machine operators with the possibility of archiving and managing internal data. The article briefly describes and compares the creation of process documentation in the PTC Creo system and in the NX system environment.

Highlights

  • From the analysis of the total labour consumption accounts for 70 % to 80 % for the technological preparation of production

  • Due to the differences in the creation of technological documentation, it is necessary to divide the technological preparation of the production according to the area of its use and form [1]

  • Process documentation is simplified in the form of automatically generated reports containing the necessary parameters and graphical interpretation of specific machining cycles created in the system CAM environment of the given system

Summary

Introduction

From the analysis of the total labour consumption accounts for 70 % to 80 % for the technological preparation of production. Requirements for creating technical documentation need to have a high level of technological preparation. Technological preparation of production uses intuition, logical activity and the routine work mostly. The area of NC machining is a specific area in the production of technological processes. The NC program defines the sequence of the individual steps that are executed on the specified machine. Despite the amount of information that the NC program contains, it cannot be said that there is sufficient technology documentation. The NC program consists of the basic features of the technological process, i.e. it specifies the basic machine setting and defines the precise tool paths as well as some. The aim of creation is the elimination of lengthy processes during the step of technological preparation of production, using a simple and fast generation of process documentation directly in that system
