Lathe Machining

Enhanced Functionalities

B-axis management for turning operations
New capability to define a tool axis on each Turning operation. This allows the B-axis orientation to be managed and eliminates the need for a tool change activity.
Turret C-axis management for turning operations
A new C-axis inversion option on the Strategy tab page of the Machining Operation editor enables a C-axis rotation (0/180 degrees) without requiring a tool change activity. This allows machining of different areas (front and back areas of a part, or part on main spindle and part on a counter-spindle) using the same tool assembly. Only the tool orientation (inversion) differs when machining the different areas or parts.
Automatic Generation of ROTABL and TLAXIS for Changeover from Lathe to Mill
This enhancement allows automatic generation of ROTABL and TLAXIS statements whenever there is change-over between Turning and Milling Operations.
