Smarter Tool Holder Management in NX CAM

Описание: Tool holders are essential for both programming accuracy and real-world machining performance—but until now, managing them in #NXCAM could be tricky due to limited classification options.
That’s why we’re excited to introduce a major enhancement: the dedicated TOOL_HOLDER classification.

🆕 What’s New?
The new TOOL_HOLDER classification is specifically designed for components that sit between the machine and the tool, such as:
• Changeable heads
• Turn tool holders
• Drill holders
Previously, these components were often lumped into broader categories like _DEVICE or _HEAD, making them harder to manage and less reliable during simulation and setup.

🔍 Key Advantages
• Accurate Kinematics
Ensure consistent and reliable access to machine kinematics throughout CAM programming.
• Stable Configurations
Maintain correct tool holder assemblies during the entire machining process, minimizing errors in simulation and setup.
• Improved Integration
Enhanced support across critical interfaces like Machine Tool Builder, Machine Setup Configurator, and Tool View, giving you a more complete and accurate digital twin.

💡 Why It Matters
By properly classifying tool holders, NX CAM now reflects the true physical relationships in your machining setup. This means:
• More realistic simulations
• Better collision avoidance
• Smoother transitions from programming to the shop floor
