| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Advanced Pocketing Routines Pocket any number of shapes simultaneously with unlimited bosses/islands using an optimized toolpath. Machine open-sided pockets and pilot drill and/or auto pocket corner drill. You can also specify breadth first or depth first machining strategies. | | Entry/Exit Radius Blend on and off a cut shape for a clean finish with easily selectable cutter compensation. Full 2-Axis Programming Wireframe machining with full functionality for contouring, automatic roughing, multiple hills and valleys, plunge roughing, threading, repetitive shape roughing, drilling, tapping and boring. Advanced Roughing Routines Includes turn roughing cycles for plunge roughing with automatic shoulder stroking, and pattern shift roughing with constant path and constant step over choices. Canned Cycle Support Includes face, OD/ID and casting canned cycles for roughing and finishing operations as well as most drill-type cycles. Forward and Reverse Roughing Toolpaths can be defined so the tool cuts in both directions or in one direction only. No Tool Dragging Automatically calculate toolpaths for optimal cutting, so the tool is always cutting in a forward insert direction. Material Only Roughing and Contouring Automatically calculates entry/exit and toolpath moves to reduce programming time and eliminate air-cutting. | | | | | | | | | | N v3 | | | | | | | | | | PRODUCTION TURNING | | | | | | | | | | Pocket Entry Choices You can choose how pockets are machined; choices include: auto plunge, user plunge, ramp, periphery ramp and helix. 2.5-Axis Wall Control Contours and pockets may be machined with vertical 90° walls, tapered walls with top and bottom fillets or user-defined swept shapes. Face Milling Automatic cycles to clean material off the top of a part, including spiral, zig-zag, back and forth and one direction patterns. | | | | | | | | | | Automatic Clearance Keeps track of material left on the part at all times and dynamically calculates clearance moves so tool | | | | | | | | | | Drilling Subroutines and Sorting Drilling cycles include common drill patterns in
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | subroutines and several sorting options including S-, closest hole and reverse patterns. ROTARY MILLING Thread Milling | | | | | | is kept at an optimal distance as it moves around the part. | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Create ID and OD threads easily. Just select a point or | | | | | | | | | 4 | | Threading Built-in data library for all pertinent threading information, including the following | | | | | | | | | circle and define the thread, the rest is automatic. Also supports milling of tapered threads such as NPT and others. Chamfer and Radius Milling Chamfer or radius tops of parts easily. Engraving Machine artwork and all TrueType® fonts. Cutter Radius Compensation Supports tool edge and tool center compensation techniques with ability to activate compensation per operation with a check-box. | | | | | | | | | | standards: UN, UNJ,API,ISO, NPT, BSPT, 55° Whitworth, 60° partial, 55° partial, RD(DIN), TR(DIN), ACME, Stub ACME, Buttress, and others. Supports top-notch, LT, cresting, and multi-form inserts. Infeeds include balanced, single-edge, single-edge alternating and user specified. Also supports multi-start threads and auto spring passes. | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
