New Products
manufacturing. This is the third ModuleWorks release of 2021 and re- portedly contains new and enhanced features across the entire product range, including new multi-axis hole making cycles with independent feed rate control, a new morph pattern
for laser aided manufacturing and a collision-free solution for robotics post processing.
The new ModuleWorks hole mak- ing strategies are said to provide flexible feed rate control for drilling, reaming and thread tapping with fast programming via a graphical user interface.
When drilling holes, operators can select a different feed rate for the break-through distance to reduce the
amount of burr. This can also be used on non-flat holes to ensure a high- quality finish and longer tool life.
Reaming increases the precision of holes. With the new ModuleWorks hole making options, operators can select different approach and retract feed rates to ensure optimal machining conditions for reaming cycles.
The feed rates can also be inde- pendently adjusted for thread tapping. ModuleWorks says selecting the right feed rate for retract motions reduces non-productive time and speeds up machining.
In addition, the morph pattern can now be applied to laser-aided manu- facturing to create a morph toolpath between two leading curves or two
guide meshes. The toolpath gradually interpolates between the two input objects and spreads evenly over the machining surface. According to the company, this is especially useful when machining steep areas during mold making. When used for fused deposition modeling, the morph pattern enables operators to create a morph toolpath for non-uniform geometries.
Another new feature is collision- free robotics post processing, which uses the ModuleWorks collision check- ing algorithm to compute a collision- free solution for robotics post process- ing. When calculating the inverse ki- nematics for robots, the ModuleWorks MultiXPost processor detects collision pairs in the robot’s kinematics and takes them into account when generat- ing the posted toolpath.
