To Customize an Injection Molding Machine (IMM)
Creating an IMM requires a coordinate system as well as two datum planes, both parallel to the XY plane.
1. Make sure that you are in Assembly mode.
2. Locate the coordinate system at the origin and give the feature string parameter imm_orig_csys=imm_orig_csys.
3. Make sure that the origin is located directly in the center of the intended IMM opening distance or daylight.
4. Offset one datum plane in the positive Z direction from the imm_orig_csys.
5. Give this datum the feature string parameter top_datum= top_datum and the offset dimension top_dim.
6. Offset the other datum from the imm_orig_csys in the negative Z direction.
7. Give this datum the feature string parmeter bottom_datum= bottom_datum and offset dimension bottom_dim.
