Display Chuck in Manufacturing Turning?

[TheeCircle]

Hi,

What is the easiest way to display my chuck withing in turning? I have a complete model assembly of my chuck attached here.

Reusable part? I also want to be able to adjust the jaw opening as well. I was thinking about using something similar to the attached xlsx sheet to drive the jaw opening?

Thank you for any help you can offer!

John

PS Using NX10

1. You upload only top file of chuck assembly, impossible to use it.
2. Not so important - I can show it on my example:

And - you can see short video.

But - you must build CNC model, add your chucks as devices.

Hi Chigishev,

That is awesome! I have no clue on how to configure the model. I have a rough model, will this work?

Can you guide on how to do it?

I am moving from Mastercam so the learning curve is steep!

Thanks

John

It not so easy. You must defone all kinematics of your machine with Machine Tool Builder application - see examples in installed_machines folder. You need to define and discribe your chuck as device - see example in device folder. And you need a license for Machine Configurator.

I like the above persons advice better, but I am sure making a deformable component is another option.
