Post-processing receives tool movement and part geometry information in the form of an Automatically Programmed Tool (APT) or Cutter Location File (CLFILE). Because post-processing can modify part movements, bi-directional translation is necessary between tool cycle generation and post-processing. [Pg.216]

CAM) systems. CAM system creates cutter location (CL) file that contains machine tool kinematics independent motion commands. CL file is converted to an NC program by a machine tool specific postprocessor. NC program is loaded to... [Pg.250]

The tool path generation step is thus the second step in the design-to-part process flow. The input for this step is a CAD file, while the output of this step in the process flow is the machine-independent tool path data (called CLDATA-file or Cutter Location DATA-file). [Pg.515]

A CL file is a text file that contains the X, Y, and Z coordinates of the tooltip and direction cosines of the tool vector in each cutter location point (Boz et al. 2012). The orientation of... [Pg.980]
