That's a good idea sending it out as a test. We use about 600 cutoff punches per year at a cost of $100,000. And we spend a lot of time hand grinding.

It appears from all the experts on this forum and from what I've read,I need a wire edm. There is no plunge cutting involved. Just a side to side cut at one end of the punch. As for surface quality, we cut our punches on a linear surface grinder. So what type of finish would that be and how many...

The accurancy I need hold is +/- .0005. Made to order punches will not work. We custom fit every cutoff punch we run to the coil that is running. Each coil is different. If it varies by more than .005" , The cutoffs will not make the part.

I need some help with this one.I don't know much about EDM's. I build small high speed stamping dies. I want to EDM hardened punch blanks of CPMM4 material. The punches are max. size of 1.5" wide x .75" thick x 3.0" long. They need a profile cut across the 1.5" at one end only thru the .75"...

Is there an automatic BOM (stocklist) function in UG NX3? I've attributed all my parts, putting a detail # in the "name" box, and I have the parts list template, now what?? Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

I need to write a BOM on my parts and assembly using a customized parts list. I found the flyout standard forms which are not quite right. I have attributed each part with mat'l and stock sizes. Where is the BOM function located and how does it work? Using NX3. Thanks in advance if I am unable...

I am trying to get a spaceball 3003 to work on UG NX3 using a USB port with no luck. Our computers have no serial ports, only USB. The 3003 has a serial plug. So I bought a USB to RS232 adapter cable thinking it would work, it did'nt. I installed a driver for the cable, and 3 drivers that I...

This always works for me: Find the "remove parameters" tool button ( not sure where it is, it might be under edit pulldown ). click it, window in all your lines and the feature you created, you may even need to go back to your original sketch, and "enter". They are no longer "tied" to one...

HI, I've worked on General Motors UG and they have a neat screw and dowel program. You set the screw or dowel parameters, pick the two mating blocks and presto! the screw counterbore and matching tap are ed for you. When I left GM and went to an outside design house, they model each...

I need to convert a Unigraphics file to Ideas. I know how to IGES it out and import it from Ideas, but the problem is I have numerous ( hundreds) of items that need translating. It would take far to long to iges each one separately. Designing in UG is much easier than doing it in Ideas, for me...

I am trying to do a transform / 4 point fit on 2 different blocks that are on different planes and angles.( the blocks, or the point pattern is the same for both blocks). I need to align, or fit 2 of the surfaces together. I can do it in SDRC Ideas, but can't figure it out in UG. Any ideas is...

I'm new to autocad. I need to cut a section thru what appears to be a 3D wireframe ( The surface originated in Catia, but I recieve it in wire ). I can do it in Cadkey by drawing a line (not a plane) where I will cut and using the section command. Points are constructed where my section line...
