Customers can continue to use multiple CAM software solutions in conjunction with Manufacturing Suite Post Processor to generate NC code, now avoiding the needs to procure post processors for individual CAM software and with the added benefit of a single support contact. Now, DMG / MORI SEIKI delivers the machine tool and the corresponding Manufacturing Suite Post Processor software, allowing customers to hit the ground running as soon as a machine lands on their shop floor. Furthermore, without quality post processors, the CAM-generated program may not run successfully on the machine tool. For the process to work, customers need to acquire the Mori-APT CLDATA interface-enabled version of the CAM software from their respective CAM vendors and acquire the Manufacturing Suite Post Processor software from DMG / MORI SEIKI. Traditionally, customers are required to purchase machine tools and CAM/post processing software from different vendors, leading to discrepancies in quality, thoroughness and timely delivery. The Manufacturing Suite Post Processor can import the standardized toolpath from any CAM software and generate NC code using the proven DMG / MORI SEIKI post templates. Mori-Post features a generic input interface (and the Mori-APT formatted toolpath) CAM vendors can now use the generic Mori-APT input interface in their software. The Mori-APT toolpath format is an extension of APT CLDATA standard (based on ANSI NCITS 37-1999 and ISO 4343:2000). The result, Mori-Post, was released in 2007. DMG / MORI SEIKI invested time and money to proactively enhance user experience by working with all major CAM vendors and to develop a template-based post processor for MAPPS. The post processor can be a bottleneck for customers-who may struggle to successfully leverage their machine-tool investment.
