CATIA (Computer aided three dimensional interactive application)

• CATIA software works on ACIS kernel system and it covers all the function of CAE/CAD/CAM and provides
advanced 3D PLM solutions for product development used in all major engineering industry like automobile,
aircraft, plastic molding, sheet metal etc.
• CATIA started as an in-house development in 1977 by French aircraft manufacturer Avions Marcel Dassault, at
that time customer of the CADAM software to develop Dassault's Mirage fighter jet. It was later adopted by the
aerospace, automotive, shipbuilding, and other industries.

• Generation of 3D model using CATIA

3D geometric model of the parts of swivel machine vise are created by constructive boundary method where
initially sketcher work bench and part work bench is used to create the part model and assembly work bench
is used to assemble all the parts and to analyze the clash and finally 2D drawings are directly obtained from
3D model in drafting work bench
Overview

• CATIA v5 is an Integrated Computer Aided Engineering tool:

• Incorporates CAD, CAM, CAE, and other applications
• Completely re-written since CATIA v4 and still under development
• CATIA v5 is a native Windows application
• User friendly icon based graphical user interface (GUI)
• Based on Variational/ Parametric technology
• Encourages design flexibility and design reuse
• Supports Knowledge Based Design

Programming and machining of complex parts based on CATIA solid modeling

• The complex parts of the use of CATIA solid modeling programming and simulation processing design, elaborated in the field of CNC
machining, programming and the importance of processing technology.
• In parts of the design process, first make a deep analysis on the principle, and then the size of the design, the size of each chain connected to
each other.
• After the use of backstepping and a variety of methods to calculate the final size of the parts. In the selection of parts materials, careful study,
repeated testing are done before the final choice of 6061 aluminum alloy.

Processing technology analysis of complex parts:

1. Analyze the parts drawing and determine the installation standard

According to the technical requirements shown in the drawings, considering
the structure and shape of parts, and with the actual processing of machining features, select datum
parts for clamping and positioning, CNC milling machine fixture.

2. Selection of processing methods

3. Select the processing route

In determining the processing route, should follow the principle of "first base, the first hole behind, coarse to fine".

4. Selection of cutting parameters

5. Select tool
1).In the center of the part of drilling hole, the diameter of 10 drill hole drilling tool, and the material is made of hard alloy, good stiffness, stiffness can
meet the requirements of processing.

Figure 2 Diagram of twist drill

2).In the stepped hole milling parts, adopting 8 three vertical milling cutter, hard alloy tool material selection, to meet the demands of processing.

Figure 3 milling cutter

6. Determine the workpiece machining coordinate system
Select the center of the upper surface of the workpiece as the origin of the workpiece coordinate system.

Figure 4 setting of workpiece coordinate system

7. Milling process card and tool
It is done according to the structural characteristics of the parts, clamping and positioning method as different structural shapes of each part, the
technical requirements of the processing surface are different, and the positioning method is different.

Swivel base
• Swivel vise base is rigidly fixed on the machine table using T-bolts and nuts it has a projection at the bottom face which
exactly fits to T-slot present in the machine table.
• It also contains a circular T-slot through which swivel base and movable jaw is clamped and also it has a circular
projection in which movable jaw is aligned.
• Development stages of Swivel vise base in CATIA
Initially outer sketch is created in Sketcher work bench
Then in Part work bench its thickness is assigned using pad
Again base sketch is created in sketcher work bench by using shaft it is revolved
Using hole central hole is created
Fillet and chamfer is created
Circular T-slot is created using groove
Material property is applied as Iron

 2. Movable jaw
Movable jaw is assembled above the fixed jaw it has a threaded hole where lead screw is assembled when lead screw is rotated it slides and moves
on the guide ways present in fixed jaw and it has two threaded holes for clamping the jaw plates and it has four threaded holes for clamping the guides

Development stages of Movable jaw in CATIA

Initially outer sketch is created in Sketcher work bench
Then in Part work bench its thickness is assigned using pad
Fillet and chamfer & Using pocket slot is created
 Threaded hole for lead screw assembly is created by hole
 Two threaded hole for jaw plate assembly is created by hole
 Four threaded hole for guides assembly is created by hole
 Finally material property is applied as Iron

Assembly of swivel vise
The two types of assembly procedure is followed while assembling the parts are
Top down
Bottom up
In this bottom up procedure is followed for assembling the swivel vise where all the elements are stored as a separate part file which is been
assembled one after one by starting from bottom most part to finishing the assembly with the top most part in the assembly
