Smart Machine Kit Solutions: Ultimate Guide

What are SMKS?

Smart Machine Kit Solutions (SMKS) are comprehensive preconfigured packages of production-ready machine tools and postprocessors, available through the Post Hub. Post Hub is a modern cloud-based solution for managing and distributing postprocessors and machine-related data, making it easier to generate production-ready machines and CNC programs for your application.

The SMKS are designed to provide comprehensive solutions that cater to different machining applications for generating efficient toolpaths and part manufacturing that involves milling, turning, hole making and complex machining tasks.

They are often considered digital twins of CNC machine tools. Within each SMKS, you will find an accurate model of the machine, complete with its kinematics, a tailored postprocessor, and a simulation module driven by G-code.

Benefits of SMKS

By leveraging SMKS on Post Hub, part manufacturers can benefit in various ways. The solutions streamline the postprocessing workflow, reduce errors, optimize machining operations, and ultimately contribute to more efficient and reliable manufacturing processes. Some of the advantages of Smart Machine Kit Solutions are:

Simplified integration

SMKS on Post Hub facilitates the integration process between NX CAM and CNC machines. These kits contain machine-specific data, including postprocessors, kinematic models, and tooling information. By accessing the SMKS through Siemens Post Hub, NC programmers can easily import and configure the necessary data into NX CAM. This simplifies the setup and integration process, reducing manual effort and minimizing the risk of errors.

Customized Postprocessing

SMKS provides machine-specific postprocessors that are tailored to the CNC machines supported by Post Hub. These postprocessors ensure accurate and efficient generation of G-code, from the toolpath data within NX CAM. NC programmers can rely on the customized postprocessors in SMKS to ensure compatibility with their specific CNC machine controllers, enabling reliable and optimized machining operations.

Consistent and Up-To-Date Data

SMKS on Post Hub facilitates the integration process between NX CAM and CNC machines. These kits contain machine-specific data, including postprocessors, kinematic models, and tooling information. By accessing the SMKS through Siemens Post Hub, NC programmers can easily import and configure the necessary data into NX CAM. This simplifies the setup and integration process, reducing manual effort and minimizing the risk of errors.
